Where is the cross of Christ hidden in Genesis 3:15?
The cross of Christ is hidden in Genesis 3:15 in latent terms: the seed of the woman would crush the head of the serpent. The context says it was there, though people did not yet understand God the Son would go to a Roman cross to purchase mankind's redemption.
Les explains that clear back in 2,000 B.C., no one had any idea of God the Son going to a Roman cross to purchase mankind's redemption. Yet it was there in latent terms, such as in Genesis 3:15, where the seed of the woman would crush the head of the serpent. Now we know what He was talking about, but they did not. Even the writers of Scripture did not understand these things. God put all these things into His Word so it gives assurance that He knew everything from start to finish before it ever happened.
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.

Why does crushing the serpent's head matter in Genesis 3:15?
Bruising the serpent's head is the fatal blow because the head is the only place you can really kill a snake, so the seed of the woman would crush the serpent's head while the serpent only got his licks in by causing Christ to suffer.
