Following from the blog entry yesterday, we see the first prophesy concerning Jesus recorded in Gen 3:15.
15"And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; He shall bruise you on the head, and you shall bruise him on the heel."
The background to this was when Adam and Eve succumbed to the temptation of the devil (who took the form of a serpent). God prophesied that an offspring of Eve would ultimately crush the devil's head and bring about his defeat.
Knowing that a descendent of Eve would cause his downfall, Satan would resort to various way and means to prevent that from happening.
It is with this in mind that certain passages as recorded in Genesis suddenly begin to make sense!
... such as the murder of Abel by his brother Cain as recorded in Gen 4:8
... or the fallen angels producing gigantic freaks through the daughters of men as recorded in Gen 6:2
... or the citizens of Sodom and Gomorrah preference for homosexual relations
... or Onan spilling his semen on the ground to keep from producing offspring as recorded in Gen 38:9
These acts were inspired by Satan because he wanted to prevent that prophesy from coming true!
I will elaborate a bit more on these events over the next few days.
