Genesis 3:15 "And I will put enmity animosity between you and the woman presents the Lord speaking to Satan, who had used the serpent in effect, the Lord is saying to Satan, "You used the woman to bring down the human race, and I will use the woman as an instrument to bring the Redeemer into the world, Who will save the human race " , and between your seed mankind which follows Satan and her Seed the Lord Jesus Christ it Christ shall bruise your head the Victory that Jesus won at the Cross Col 2:14-15 , and you shall bruise His Heel the sufferings of the Cross .

Enemity between the creatures is first introduced by God.

Giants in aremeck text known as geber .. the offspring of a heavenly host or that that is supernatural.. don't forget when text might be the same as the other text will give you up better definition of that word hence why everything you see everybody thinks its napheliam pertaining to the Son of God and Giants in Genesis No..

Richard's comment on 2013-11-22 09:49:59:

if you need help with the word get an English dictionary and a full concordance that has every word in the Bible and goes back to the Greek and arimec text everything will open up to you everybody will be on the same page get that seal of God in your forehead witness for God and give testimony of jesus..

Richard's comment on 2013-11-22 09:34:51:

the word cursed in the Hebrew language from the ancient text means to do away with something or someone that no longer serves the purpose for God.. that is why the ground no longer produce for God's purpose for Adam and throwing out that part of Lucifer the deceitfulness part of him out of heaven and giving him what he wants to be like Christ and the beginning of let's say his part of matching that of the Holy Spirit.. the beginnings of his downfall and being cast out of heaven completely ending in the lake of fire..

Richard's comment on 2013-11-22 08:05:06:

Kimberly statement makes no sense and is not support the Book of Jude as witness the Angels ate like men or substance like men the four times the sons of God are mentioned in the Old Testament the Nephilim the Fallen Angels are the sons of God in Genesis the Giants are their offspring Adam and Eve did have a orgy with Lucifer and that's why the loss of the house so not murder did not come in till after the flood and that blood line was completely wiped out

Richard's comment on 2013-11-22 07:56:42:

I will put enmity between thy seed and thy woman because the woman is what gives the rest of God children the 2/3 that didn't rebel fill that enmity that 1/3 children at that time had in there heart to murder us and takes Gods throne reason for flesh age the chance for them to turn back to christ and all to know this will not happen agan only instant death whaty a loving father..

Rev Mike's comment on 2013-11-22 04:27:39:

The emnity was placed between Woman and Evil to protect her from evil. To understand why you must remember Noah was 7 generations from Eve and his Sons were one more generation after that.His son "Shem's line" produced the linage of both Joseph and Mary even though Jesus father was God in Heaven.So to protect that line Emnity had to be placed to protect the "Human Form" God Jesus'line for the future. That is only one way to look at it but is true because the great flood killed all the wicked people up to that point but Noah and his family were the only living relatives of Adam and Eve. because they were spaired to produce the house of David in the future which led to Christ the man...It's the original story of "Good v Evil"

Richard's comment on 2013-11-21 20:14:40:

To have the desier to murder ones brother is the reason.. a fill of such evil to that you want him gone buy a pre metatated thought to do so Cain new what he was going to do and the lord said sin is at your door and wants you and turn away..

Steve's comment on 2013-10-27 13:16:25:

Kimbers comment makes sense, women have no seed, but God created it in women. Jesus Christ was the second Adam because God had to start over when the first Adam blew it! Eve was deceive Adam had his eyes wide open.

Shirley Gadson's comment on 2013-09-13 12:17:07:

Why is it that no one really addresses the first part of this verse "And I will put enmity between thee and the woman" What does this mean. You keep answering the latter part of this verse. Please stick to answering just the first part only please, please

David's comment on 2013-07-05 09:58:15:

I see the bible verse, but where is the scientific part where both man and women possess the seed of life discovered in the 17th century?

end time bride's comment on 2013-05-23 11:36:28:

The serpent had a seed..Cain. Follow the lineage of Cain and u will see it coming to head in the end time as the anti-christ. Why did JESUS SAY TO THE SCRIBES AND PHARISEES "U ARE OF YR FATHER THE DEVIL?

Eugene Pitts's comment on 2013-04-17 16:33:34:

I truly do not understand how Genesis 3:15 prophecises the coming of Christ. It seems to me like its a continuation of punishment of man and woman.

Gary El's comment on 2013-02-18 09:02:47:

What was the serpent? Was it one of the animals that Adam named?

ELDER ROSS's comment on 2012-08-14 23:09:14:

from the church of the LORD JESUS CHRIST OF THE APOSTLIC FAITH ( GENESIS 3:15 ) ( EXODUS 20:11 ) FOR IN SIX DAYS THE LORD MADE HEAVEN AND EARTH ,THE SEA , AND ALL THAT IN THEM IS, AND RESTED THE SEVENTH DAY WHEREFORE THE LORD BLESSED THE SABBATH DAY, AND HALLOWED IT. now listen he created sin also the devil seed is sin the woman seed is righteous not EVE but MARRY the mother of JESUS CHRIST

Barry's comment on 2012-08-08 23:44:03:

The one point that I see being missed here is the definition of (enmity) which most go to mans definition of it being used in other cases, but here it means the law and not only the law but it includes all the other definitions with it. If you understand what Christ did at the cross you have to admit that he fulfilled the law and became sin and nailed the law to the cross and by this act he made it possible for sinful man to approach God. Redeeming God to man and alowing man to be redeemed to God by faith in what he accomplished there on the cross.

Kimber's comment on 2012-07-01 03:35:12:

The seed of the woman is Christ because God would create (something made from nothing; something made that never before existed; only GOD can create) perfect seed inside a woman so she could conceive. Calling this seed of the woman brings emphasis that no man can bring about the conception of the Christ. Seed is carried by the male.
Seed of the serpent is anyone spiritually "born" to satan; anyone who commits him/her self fully to satan becomes a "child" of satan. But since satan cannot create life this "seed" is a wedge in the mind of the person who is seed to the end that person is permanently open to devil spirit possession. Thus anyone seduced, instructed, and or lured to follow satan can become seed of the serpent. Cain was the proto-type; the blueprint of what those "born" of the wrong seed would be like.

Also spirit CANNOT mate with matter; satan cannot have children with women. Spirit superceeds the physical world, but since satan cannot create he must then influence that which is already created. The sons of God in genesis are believers (no angel was ever called a son of God; God made man to have children who would love and worship HIM) and the daughters of men are unbelievers. This is the first warning that believers and unbelievers should not be married together and have children; this is being unequally yoked.
