What did an old preacher call Genesis 3:15?
That verse was called the beginning of the scarlet line of Scripture by a great old preacher, who first misnamed it the silver thread and then corrected himself. It records God telling Satan that the woman's seed would bruise his head, while Satan would bruise the seed's heel.
Les explains that Genesis 3:15 is a verse most have grown up with, and he recalls a great old preacher calling it the beginning of the scarlet line of Scripture after first saying the silver thread. In the verse, God is speaking to Satan, putting enmity between Satan and the woman, and between Satan's seed and her seed. The woman's seed would bruise Satan's head: when Christ finished the work of the cross as the seed of the woman, He defeated Satan and made him powerless. But Satan would bruise His heel, getting his licks in by making Him suffer. Les says this is the beginning of the promise that the seed would come through the female side of the human race, not from Adam but from the woman, and it is a line to follow all the way through Scripture.
And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
