Bible Question: Please tell me what that verse means, I think it is a key verse and Satan doesn't want us to understand it. |
Bible Answer: Donna Sue, One other point on "the seed of the woman." This can be read on two levels. Jesus will be a decendent of the woman Eve. But that is a typological foreshadowing of Jesus being born of the woman Mary. All other mention of "seed" in the bible in this context refers to the seed of the male. But in the vigin birth there is no human father, so only the seed of the woman. The emity between the children of the woman and the children of the serpent refers to that between all of Eve's decendents in the natural realm and all of Mary's spiritual children or the Church in the supernatural realm. The very last point is particularly Catholic and is hotly disputed here when discussed in the context of Rev. 12:1-7, 17 but the rest I think is not controversial. Gen 3:15 is called the Proto-Evangelion or the Proto-Gospel. Emmaus |
