05:05 "every other place in the bible when it talks about seed it belongs to the man" -- maybe not so. "And the angel of the LORD said unto her [Hagar], I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude." Gen 16:10

No version of the bible omits the word FROM in Genesis 4:1. Even the 1599 Geneva bible says " I have obtained a man by the Lord" so you can not imply that Eve thought her son was the Lord.

Genesis 24:60 also speaks about a woman’s seed talking about Rebekah also Gen 16:10 speaks about Hagar and her seed just letting you know there are other locations that speaks about the seed of a woman. Are you sure it’s not just talking about her descendants? I’m trying to figure your explanation out. Also the NASB says “I have gotten a man child with the help of the lord” NASB is considered to be a literal translation by most scholars.

Amazing verse! I didn’t know the richness of the meaning of the verse other than it foretelling Christ.

JESUS IS LORD

[@RudydeGroot]

God talks to the snake in the presence of Chawa / Eve. So it makes sense to speak about 'her seed'.. You can find a similar phrasing in Gen. 16.10 where Hagar is being blessed by the words that her offspring will be countless. Whenever 'seed' is used in tenach, it always means 'offspring' in the plural. And off course, both the man and woman are meant. It's absolutely ridiculous to think that only the seed of the woman is meant. And where do you got the crazy idea that the snake is supposed to be the devil?

What do you make of the Idea that Cain (& therefore his descendants) was the Literal "Seed" of Satan? What of the Nephilim or Giants who were born of natural women & the "Sons of God" and resulted in increasing Wickedness on the Earth and then the Flood? I somehow doubt that the Seed of Satan in Genesis 3 is just Sin & Death.. What about Jesus calling the Pharisees Not the children of God, but their Father being the Devil in John 8:44?

[@SACHIN-hn9sk]

Super explanation. What is the proof that the seed is Eve or Mother Mary.

[@kc0itf]

I always liked how the serpent was the only truthful character in the drama... So much for God not able to lie!

[@sandriyah10]

Satan does have offsprings(seed) as well that is not speaking of sin and death. Everything that has a seed has the ability to create life. Rather it’s good or bad.

[@Kreationcreatures]

Humans do not create anything.

[@robertmcgee1771]

And I also noticed you guys have not studied etymology or origins of the text, there's no prophecy about a virgin birth all those things are Catholic constructs they added with the four Gospels,, and Isaiah 7:14 it's talking about a king being born which is fulfilled in chapter 8, Isaiah 7:14 does not indicate it is a prophecy whatsoever, Paul never mentions it a single time because it has nothing to do with prophecy

[@alchemicalvisionstudios3969]

The verse says that they will bruise each other. He will bruise your head and you will bruise his heel. Depending on the translation you’ll get crush and bite. Crush and strike but primarily the translation is bruise and bruise or strike and strike. This implies an ongoing conflict but does not proclaim a victor of either.

[@AimeeHope89]

Now I urge you, brethren, keep your eye on those who cause dissensions and hindrances contrary to the teaching which you learned, and turn away from them. For such men are slaves, not of our Lord Christ but of their own appetites; and by their smooth and flattering speech they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting. For the report of your obedience has reached to all; therefore I am rejoicing over you, but I want you to be wise in what is good and innocent in what is evil. The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you. - Romans 16:17-20 I've been wrestling with this one this morning, but it is resolved in Romans. I think it's just our translation, and that they understood it to be crush and either bruise or strike. God tells us what is going to happen all over the place, so it's weird for this verse to be open ended like that. Based on this passage from Romans, I think it's just a translation error, which just makes deep study more important really. I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that.

This fall colors joke is gold

[@cathyp.4995]

So not that it matters, but for our theological imaginations. I think based on the Gen 3:14, that the devil was a unicorn 🦄. Because God specifically zeros in on livestock, field animals, belly. This animal had to have had legs before the curse. It could be the reason for the old pictures of a man and woman in the garden with a unicorn. Just for imagination purposes, not doctrinal. 14 Then the Lord God said to the serpent, “(A)Because you have done this, Cursed are you more than all the livestock, And more than any animal of the field; On your belly you shall go, And (B)dust you shall eat All the days of your life;

[@sorenpx]

Interesting video but you are incorrect when you say, around the 5:15 mark, that "every other place in the Bible when it talks about seed it belongs to the man." For instance, Gen. 24:60: "And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, Thou art our sister, be thou the mother of thousands of millions, and let thy seed possess the gate of those which hate them." I otherwise enjoyed it though and found it beneficial.

are you sure about the claim you made that every seed in the bible belongs to a man? what about Hagar seed in Genesis 16:10, quote:"“I will greatly multiply your seed” not “I will greatly multiply his [Abraham’s] seed.” Genesis Chapter 24:60 And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her: 'Our sister, be thou the mother of thousands of ten thousands, and let thy seed possess the gate of those that hate them.' it also begs the question, god talking to Eve when referring about her seed. what happened with it? did Adam provide hes seed to her or was it a virgin birth too?

[@lifeislivinginpeace447]

Seed means off spring you need to look in the Hebrew language, it’s not figurative for death and destruction. That’s just want you feel that it means, we must go by the actual meaning in the original hebrew. The seed of Satan and the seed of the woman means offspring. Satans offspring the Nephilim, those like Herod that Satan would control,

[@sandriyah10]

Absolutely!! Thank you👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@JasonDrivakos]

Are you implying Herod is a direct physical descendant of Satan? Lol. The seed of Satan is obviously used in a figurative sense, just like the seed of the woman, because FYI, woman don't posses a seed.

The Promise to Abraham comes from this son all the way to Isaac and Jacob. I think Cain lost it for him and his decendants.

Genesis 3v15 also destroys the trinitarian view . The redeemer had to come from the seed (ovum) of the woman which is impossible if he already existed prior to humanity.

Plus, he has no connection to humanity at all. So how is he our saviour?

[@annabluebubblegum]

And if Yahuah made the heavens and the earth, and man and woman and because of. Adams sin he told the serpent from the beginning that from the womb of the woman the depends head will be crushed and at the same time their heel will be struck. I know yahusha is the son of elohim because he is loving and not dead like you believe. The Bible is really deep and it's been 2 years and I learn more and more everyday

[@evelynperez8727]

So Mary is the Woman that does not have a son by man ( sin)so he will crush Satan's head (death)and Satan will only bruise him (Jesus)is the brusing ,the death of Christ and resurrection. That's what I understand. He gave his life for us to live.

🐍"Every other place in the bible it talks about the seed it talks about the decendants of a man"? That is false... Genesis 17:10 The angel added, “I will increase your descendants so much that they will be too numerous to count." Also, nowhere in the OT does it ever use the the word seed in singular context. In context it's always plural. Lastly it doesn't say Satan or the devil anywhere in Genesis. You are making stuff up and changing the Genesis story to fit a narrative.

[@Mygoalwogel]

Rev 12:9 And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient *serpent,* who is called the Devil and Satan, the *deceiver* of the whole world-he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. Genesis 3:13 Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this that you have done?” The woman said, “The *serpent* *deceived* me, and I ate.” See Jack Collins, A SYNTACTICAL NOTE (GENESIS 3:15): IS THE WOMAN’S SEED SINGULAR OR PLURAL? for an exhaustive explanation as to why the LXX rendering (and traditional Christian usage of it) is justified.

[@Liminalplace1]

I realize you just explained a tradition on that story, but if you accept that the AUTHORITY of the scriptures resided with the AUTHORS (as they are the ones "moved by the Holy Spirit") there is NOTHING of what you say in the actual words of Genesis (or the books of Moses, if we assume he is thr author). IE. 1. the "serpent" is said to be "of the beasts of the field". He is never said to be the devil. That is just what John says in Revelation by allusion many centuries later. 2. The "seed" is plural and just refers to descendents . No reference to a Messiah. 3 . The verse doesn't say "crush" .. exactly the same Hebrew word is use for action of both.. "he will STRIKE ..and you will STRIKE" (NRSV) What has occurred is Church tradition has used it's imagination from other later teaching of the bible but in doing so has ignored the AUTHORITY of the biblical author.. So it's just a teaching illustration but has zero authority...no different from a good sermon joke. Anyone interested check out Dr. John Walton from Wheaton College on that and how to interpret the OT.
