Gen. iii. 15.—Gal. iv. 4.
The first Prophecy, and with it a great Promise, was given by God in
the Garden of Eden.
When Adam and Eve were disobedient, and were tempted by Satan to eat
the forbidden fruit, God could not let them stay in that beautiful
garden any longer, but He told Adam he must go and dig the ground. And
God told Satan that he would be like a Serpent always, and eat dust;
and then God gave this promise to Eve, that her Seed—that meant one
of her children's children, long after, should bruise the head of the
Serpent who had deceived her.
And this came true four thousand years after!
God sent His Son; and it was through the death of Jesus on the Cross
that He destroyed the power of Satan; for those who turn to Jesus
Christ for Salvation have Everlasting Life given them.
