Subject: What is God saying in this verse? |
Bible Note: Hi, Ray! I understand what you are saying. Rarely are there any parallels in the Bible that match to their counterparts exactly. The point I was making is that from Genesis 3:15 the whole struggle for power (from Satan's perspective) can be seen all the way to the end of times where Jesus Christ will ultimately defeat Satan and throw him into the lake of fire. The assault Satan attempts against the Throne of God is multifaceted: Lucifer plans to usurp God's authority, reclutes up to one third of the angels, loses that battle. Once cast out of heaven he then attempts to wreck creation--fails! Being close to the Power that Be (I AM) Satan has learned a thing or two and thus proceeds to murder the Infant; tempt Jesus; crucify the Lord... failing over and over and over... Final battle: Christ's siblings! Genesis 3:15 is like a stocked deck of cards: though comprised of a complete set of cards we have access to only the activated cards! God Bless! |
