Bible Question: In Genesis 3:15;Did God mean that the woman would always be subject to the man, and the man always had the last say in the marrage. Was it that woman was never to be liberated? |
Bible Answer: Dear minmin43 - Genesis 3:15 is the first of the great messianic prophecies of the Bible. It foreshadows the gospel of Christ, revealing as it does three fundamental truths: (1) Satan is the enemy of mankind, (2) God would put a spiritual barrier between Satan's people and His people, and (3) that the representative seed of the woman, i.e., Christ, would deliver the deathblow to Satan, but in so doing Christ would Himself be bruised on the cross which led to the eventual crushing of Satan and his kingdom. ..... The passage has nothing whatever to do with "women's lib" but everything to do with God's graceful provision for the liberation of humanity from sin. --Hank |
