After the fall of man in Genesis 3 God could have just folded the earth and trashed it completely. Adam didn't attempt to apologize or repent and Eve also pointed fingers. Yet, it was right in the middle of their sin and tension of accusations that God demonstrated His love for mankind by activating the redemption plan. A number of things happened but we will highlight two.
First, was the prophetic Words and second was the prophetic act of God.
For the prophetic word, God said in Genesis 3:15 KJV;
"and I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel."
Although, everyone is born of a woman, the seed that produce the child is really not from the woman. Like planting in agriculture. The earth working with other factors have everything a seed needs to grow, but it doesn't have the seed. So is the woman. She has the womb that can nature a seed to life but doesn't have the seed, the seed comes from the man.
But Bible said, "her seed". This one doesn't need the male. It is going to come from her. The prophet Isaiah picked it up and also declared "a virgin shall conceive..." (Isaiah 7:14).
Then in Luke 1, the Angel appeared to Mary and by the end of their conversation, The Word has become flesh in the womb of Mary. This seed of the woman is Jesus. His heel was bruised by His sufferings but He crushed the head of the enemy permanently by His death, burial and glorious resurrection.
The second thing is the prophetic act when man fell. God showed them an example of how the redemption will happen.
God had told Adam, the day you eat, you will die. When they ate, death appeared on the earth and its mission must be accomplished as establish by the sovereign decree of God. But instead of Adam and Eve. An animal took their place. There was a switch. Life for life.
This is where we'll pick up from today. 9pm is the time. On WhatsApp. Link in bio.
See you soon. God bless you.
