Her Seed

In the first book of the Bible we are told how long ago when God first created the world he also created the first parents. They were named Adam and Eve. God made a beautiful garden for them named Eden to live in. However, there was one tree in the garden whose fruit was poisonous. God commanded them to stay away from it because if they ate of it they would die. The fruit contained the knowledge of good and evil.
One day an evil spirit disguised as a snake entered into the garden and tricked Eve into eating from the poisonous tree. Adam also ate some of the bad fruit. Immediately they knew they had done wrong and were very ashamed. God cursed the snake and said to him:

“And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed;
It shall bruise thy head, and thou shall bruise his heel.”

Genesis 3:15


Because God can’t allow any sin to go uncorrected he had to tell Adam and Eve to leave Eden. But God had a future plan to correct their wrong. One of Eve’s descendants, Jesus, would someday conquer death and put it firmly under his heel.
