GoD's WorK - God's Puzzle Solved

Chapter 22Satan Shall Bruise His HeelGod removed Satan from his high estate in God’s“kingdom” when he deceived Eve. It was Evewho convinced Adam to sin and both ate theforbidden fruit. Satan truly was God’s adversaryfrom the beginning of “the earthly plan.” So, Goddid limit Satan’s freedom. This evil genius wasnow condemned to become an enemy of Adamand Eve’s children throughout all the future ages.Can you imagine such a thing? This is a profoundbeginning to the Genesis story.How was Satan going to defeat “the promised seed” Jesus Christ?Just look at what the early portion of The Book of Genesis tellsyou:I will put enmity between thee [the serpent] andthe woman, and between thy seed and her seed;it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise hisheel (Genesis 3:15).The wound to the head would be much greater than the woundto the heel. Jesus was symbolically wounded in the heel but “restoredto life,” whereas the devil/serpent was wounded in thehead which is much more serious.Paul commented on this by saying, “The serpent’s poison is destroyed.He no longer deceives anyone.”
