LastCall: Satan's judgment -Bob Coy

FIRST HINT

"He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel." Genesis 3:15 (NKJV)


Take note: It's in Genesis 3:6 where we see mankind's fall from the perfect existence God had created. Adam and Eve disobeyed the Lord when they disregarded His instructions, and as a result, sin infiltrated and infected humanity. But just nine verses later, in Genesis 3:15, we find the first hint of God's remedy for their failure. The Lord addresses the serpent (Satan) who had a hand in man's fall. He tells Satan that he'll face certain judgment for what he's done:


So the LORD God said to the serpent: "Because you have done this, you are cursed more than all cattle, and more than every beast of the field; On your belly you shall go, and you shall eat dust All the days of your life. And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed." (Genesis 3:14-15 NKJV)


Notice that God says Satan's judgment would consist of an ongoing conflict between his seed and the seed of the woman. What's that all about? When we pull back and consider the whole counsel of God's Word, it's clear the serpent's seed refers to Satan's demonic forces, and the seed of the woman is a reference to Jesus Christ.


This showdown would culminate with Christ bruising Satan's head, and with Satan bruising Christ's heel. It's important to see that the wound Jesus receives isn't fatal, yet the wound Satan receives is. Christ would be wounded, but He would emerge victorious.


You don't need to be a Bible scholar to understand that this is actually a foreshadowing of the cross. This is our first hint that God had a plan in place to undo what Satan had done to us and what we've done to ourselves.

Think about it…

What does this passage reveal to me about God?

What does this passage reveal to me about myself?

Based on this, what changes do I need to make?

What is my prayer for today?
