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 thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

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

    Through Abraham's seed

    And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.

    A son of David forever

    2 Samuel 7:12

    And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.

    God promises David an everlasting throne.

    A child is born

    Isaiah 9:6

    For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

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

    Born of a woman

    The woman and the dragon

    Revelation 12:5

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