The First Prophecy (1 of 5)
Series: Christ in the Old Testament
D. Marion Clark
Genesis 3:15
Introduction
On the road to Emmaus Jesus taught two of his disciples how the Moses and the Prophets foretold his person and work. He later took all of his disciples through a course on the Messiah in the Scriptures. They had not recognized him because they had not understood the Scriptures. We will take time for five Sundays to examine a portion of what he would have taken them through.
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. He created the sun, the moon, and the stars; he created the ground, the mountains, the seas, and all the creatures inhabiting the earth, the sky, and the waters. Finally, he created man:
So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them (1:27).
God placed the man and the woman in the garden. His intention for them was eventually to multiply and fill the earth, so that all of the earth would be a holy place of blessing where God is glorified through obedience, service, and worship.
But God had an enemy, a creature created before the world, a creature who was one of the angels. He had rebelled against God. God struck him down, along with a host of angels who had gone to his side. Though defeated, he remained dangerous, and when God created the world, he slipped in. The result was the Fall. Satan (which means Adversary) successfully tempted Eve and led both her and Adam to sin against God. God pronounced punishment upon all three parties. He turned first to Satan who was in the form of a serpent.

The LORD God said to the serpent,
''Because you have done this,
cursed are you above all livestock
and above all beasts of the field;
on your belly you shall go,
and dust you shall eat
all the days of your life.
15 I will put enmity between you and the woman,
and between your offspring and her offspring;
he shall bruise your head,
and you s ...
