GENESIS prophecy of the serpent CURSED and its head to be CRUSHED by an offspring of Eve?
Genesis 3:14-16
14 So the Lord God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this,
“Cursed are you above all livestock
and all wild animals!
You will crawl on your belly
and you will eat dust
all the days of your life.
15 “And I will put enmity between you and the woman,
and between your offspring and hers;
HE WILL CRUSH YOUR HEAD,
and YOU WILL STRIKE HIS HEEL.”
16 To the woman he said,
“I will make your pains in childbearing very severe;
with painful labor you will give birth to children.
Your desire will be for your husband,
and he will rule over you.”
It was 4000 years from Genesis to the New Testament when the prophecy was first proclaimed.
The serpent bruised Christ at the cross, which so happened to be on Calvary (Golgotha), THE PLACE OF THE SKULL. A perfect image and symbol of God placing His Son’s cross above to crush the skull head of the serpent!
LUKE 23:33
And when they came to the place which is called The Skull [Latin: Calvary; Hebrew: Golgotha], there they crucified Him, and [along with] the criminals, one on the right and one on the left.
Jerusalem was built on Mount Moriah where Abraham took Isaac 2000 years earlier to be sacrificed and where the Lord interceded and PROVIDED a ram in his place.
Genesis 22:2 Then God said, “TAKE YOUR SON, YOUR ONLY SON, WHOM YOU LOVE—Isaac—and go to THE REGION OF MORIAH. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a mountain I will show you.”
Genesis 22:14 So Abraham called that place THE LORD WILL PROVIDE. And to this day it is said, “ON THE MOUNTAIN OF THE LORD IT WILL BE PROVIDED.”
2 Chronicles 3:1 Then Solomon began to build the temple of the Lord in Jerusalem ON MOUNT MORIAH, where the Lord had appeared to his father David. It was on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite, the place provided by David.
So, in the 1st century, 4000 years later after the Genesis prophecy, Paul wrote regarding the fulfillment of the prophecy:
“The God of peace will SOON CRUSH SATAN under your feet. May the grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.”
Romans 16:20
Did Paul LIE about the CRUSHING of SATAN being SOON or SHORTLY for the church in Rome in the 1st century where Satan is destroyed UNDER THEIR FEET?
And around 2000 years from NT to today 2026, is the CRUSHING OF SATAN still SOON or SHORTLY going to happen under the feet of the Roman church who are no longer with us? LOLOLOLOL
Reminds me of this song we used to ROCK THIS SONG back in the 90s when "Romans 16:20" by BOB FITTS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d--02Yodxps&list=RDd--02Yodxps&start_radio=1
The only thing wrong with the song is Paul penned satan being CRUSHED SOON and SHORTLY to the church in Rome 1st century. People just don't understand BASIC GRAMMAR: time statements, audience relevance, historic context, pronouns....
Either something happened in the first century to FULFILL what Paul penned in Romans that the crushing and destroying the devil happened
or
God, Bible, Paul, Holy Spirit
ALL LIED!!!
Hebrews 2:14
Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might DESTROY him who had the power of death, that is, THE DEVIL,
1 John 3:8
He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might DESTROY THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL.
**Did Christ FAIL in His purpose to Destroy the devil and his works?
What did the cross do to the devil if the devil is still roaming around according to most Christians?
Who, what was the devil? spirit being?
What were the works that the devil was doing?
How did the devil have the power of death?
Is not life and death in the hand of God?
Was the power of death aka as the ministry that brought death, the Old Covenant Mosaic Law?
Who were the ministers of the ministry that brought death? Unbelieving Israel aka slanderers and adversaries; devils and satan's children. Remember, Christ called the jews the children of the devil.
BOTTOM LINE: CHRIST DID NOT FAIL! He CRUSHED the devil under the feet of his church (the ekklesia) who were given the power of the Gospel over all enemies!
The devil and the works of the devil were DESTROYED by The Gospel for God's People, Redeemed Israel in 70AD.
The end.
The Bible story ended and has absolutely nothing to do with us!
