TODAY'S BIBLE TWEET

BIBLE TEXT: “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.” (Genesis 3:15 KJV)

BIBLE TWEET: This is not just the first, but one of the foremost Messianic prophesies in the Bible, predicting Christ's virgin birth—the promised seed of the woman—the crucifixion—the serpent bruising Christ's heel—and the resurrection—Christ's fatal blow to the serpent's head.

BIBLE TAKEAWAY: This verse is known as the protoevangelium—the first preaching of the Gospel or of the Good News in all of Scripture. From this point forward the whole Bible is employed in expounding upon this extraordinary promise and its eventual fulfillment in the coming of Christ. For this reason, this verse is known as “the Bible in embryo,” as the “sum of history" (His Story), and as “the germ of all prophecy that unfolds into the perfect fragrant bloom of the Rose of Sharon and the Lily of the Valley.”
