Genesis 3:14-23; 4:1
Over the past few weeks we have been looking at origin texts of Scripture in the series “What Does it Mean to Be Human?” We’ve been asking where these very central things in the human experience came from. Last week we talked about the first half of Genesis 3 and how man fell into sin, how the serpent came into the garden to tempt Adam and Eve away from obedience and how the man and the woman responded to their sin by hiding. This week we begin with a passage that is less talked about, the second half of Genesis 3 and the curses that were a result.

What we see all throughout the Old Testament are signals or signposts of things that are to come. I hope this series will help you to read your Bible more carefully, and that it will help you see God and his work more fully.
There are three signals that I want to look at with you for the rest of our morning and they are:
1. The Dust
2. The Seed
3. The Bruise
THE DUST
When you look at this passage it’s interesting to see how concerned it is with dust. The serpent is, of course, is signified with the devil. We don’t have time to do an in-depth study of Revelation 12 but in that chapter the devil is explicitly called the ancient serpent who does war with the woman and her offspring. So the curse of the serpent, the curse of Satan, is that he crawls around the earth on his belly and eat dust all the days of his life. This means at least two things. First, that he would be subject to the Earth because he interfered with and deceived Eve. We see this in Revelation 12, the snake was cast down to Earth. Secondly, commentators say that the dust was a signal to the serpent, ...
