Yes—Jesus is the seed of the woman promised in Genesis 3:15, and Galatians 3:16 identifies that seed as Christ.
In Genesis 3:15, God told Satan that the woman's seed would bruise his head. Paul later explains in Galatians 3:16 that the promise to Abraham and his seed refers to one person, Christ. Les Feldick teaches that the seed of the woman of Scripture is Christ and that this promise set in motion the coming Redeemer.
Genesis 3:15 — This verse contains the original promise of a coming deliverer through the woman, whose seed would crush the serpent's head.
Galatians 3:16 — This verse reveals that the promised seed is singular and names Christ as that seed.
In Genesis 3:15, God speaks to the serpent after the fall and declares, 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. This verse sets the woman's seed against the serpent's seed and promises that the woman's seed will ultimately crush the serpent's head while being bruised in the process. In Galatians 3:16, Paul applies the singular seed of the Abrahamic promise to Christ: Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. Because Scripture uses the singular seed and names it as Christ, the Bible ties the promised seed of Genesis 3:15 to the Lord Jesus.
Les Feldick teaches that the seed of the woman of Scripture is Christ. He shows that Genesis 3:15 is the first prophetic promise of a Redeemer, made right after Adam and Eve fell. He also points to Galatians 3:16 to prove that the Bible's singular seed is not many people but one person, Christ. Beginning with Eve, Les says, God promised that through the woman of the human race would come the Messiah. Les connects this seed to the Abrahamic covenant, through which all nations would be blessed, and to Jesus' death on the cross, His resurrection, and our salvation.
God told the serpent that He would put enmity between him and the woman, and between his seed and her seed. The woman's seed would bruise the serpent's head, while the serpent would bruise his heel. This is the first announcement of a coming Redeemer from the woman's line.
Paul writes that the promises were made to Abraham and his seed, and he emphasizes that Scripture says seed in the singular, not seeds in the plural. He then identifies that seed as Christ. Les Feldick uses this to show that the seed of the woman in Genesis 3:15 is the same one person, Jesus Christ.
Les teaches that beginning with Eve, God promised that through the woman would come the Messiah. He calls Genesis 3:15 the promised line of redemption and part of the scarlet thread of salvation that runs through Scripture. He also links this seed to the Abrahamic covenant and to Jesus' death on the cross, His resurrection, and the salvation that comes through Him.
