NASB | Genesis 3:15 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." |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 3:15 "And I will put enmity (open hostility) Between you and the woman, And between your seed (offspring) and her Seed; He shall [fatally] bruise your head, And you shall [only] bruise His heel." [Gal 4:4] |
Bible Question: In Gen.3:15, what does it mean when God said to the serpent, "...,he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel." |
Bible Answer: The phrase "you will strike his heel" refers to Satan's repeated attempts to defeat Christ during His life on earth. "He will strike your head" foreshadows Satan's defeat when Christ rose from the dead. A strike on the heel is not deadly but a strike on the head is. Already God was revealing His plan to defeat Satan and offer salvation to the world through His son Jesus. (Life Application Bible) prayon |
