The Curse, the Cure, and the Conquest
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.”
“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.”
The Curse brings Conflict

John 8:44
You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

Isaiah 9:6
For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; and the government will rest on His shoulders; and His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of peace.

Galatians 4:4-5
But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law, so that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.

The struggle of sin and conflict has always been accompanied by the hope and expectation God will one day bring us victory through a coming Messiah.
The Conquest is Certain
“…he shall bruise you on the head, and you shall bruise him on the heel.” v. 15
“…he shall bruise you on the head, and you shall bruise him on the heel.” v. 15
Hebrews 2:14-15
Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise also partook of the same, that through death He might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and might free those who through fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives.

Revelation 17:14
“These will wage war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, because He is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those who are with Him are the called and chosen and faithful.”
“These will wage war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, because He is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those who are with Him are the called and chosen and faithful.”
Instead of darkness, fear, and death, we can expect light, hope, and life through Christ, the Conquering King.
