The Seed of the Woman

WEBKJVBSBESVNKJVNASBNLT

The Bible's first promise, narrowing across the ages to one child.

In the ruins of Eden God promises an offspring of the woman who will crush the serpent. The promise narrows — to Abraham's seed, to David's son, to a child called Mighty God — until "the fullness of time" when God sends his Son, born of a woman, to defeat the dragon at last.
  1. 1

    Enmity and a promised offspring

    Genesis 3:15

    And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed. He will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.”

    The seed of the woman will crush the serpent's head.
  2. 2

    Through Abraham's seed

    Genesis 22:18

    And through your offspring all nations of the earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.”

    "In your offspring shall all the nations be blessed."
  3. 3

    A son of David forever

    2 Samuel 7:12

    And when your days are fulfilled and you rest with your fathers, I will raise up your descendant after you, who will come from your own body, and I will establish his kingdom.

    God promises David an everlasting throne.
  4. 4

    A child is born

    Isaiah 9:6

    For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government will be upon His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

    "Unto us a child is born… Mighty God, Prince of Peace."
  5. 5

    The genealogy of Jesus

    Matthew 1:1

    This is the record of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham:

    Son of David, son of Abraham.
  6. 6

    Born of a woman

    Galatians 4:4

    But when the time had fully come, God sent His Son, born of a woman, born under the law,

    "God sent forth his Son, born of a woman."
  7. 7

    The woman and the dragon

    Revelation 12:5

    And she gave birth to a son, a male child, who will rule all the nations with an iron scepter. And her child was caught up to God and to His throne.

    The male child who will rule the nations, and the dragon thrown down.
