Genesis 3:1 · Ryan Swale

A lot of them have this serpent imagery woven throughout them. Not only serpent imagery in several of them. Psalm 83 would be another example where it says that they lay crafty plans. That’s the same language from Genesis 3.1 with the serpent being the most crafty. But not only is there serpent imag

Genesis 3:15 · Camden Bucey

That’s an important point. And as well as the first gospel promise in Genesis 3.15. I was wondering if you could elaborate maybe on this connection and how it shapes the way Christians should understand these psalms.

Genesis 3:5 · Will Wood

The interesting thing is that this is almost an exactly parallel statement with what the serpent promises in Genesis 3, verse 5. The serpent says, God knows that when you eat, your eyes will be opened, you will be like God. And then in 3, 7, the result of the fall, their eyes are both opened, and th

Genesis 3:21 · Will Wood

So whatever’s going on in Genesis 3, verse 21, has to have a priestly context. And in order for Cain or able to offer up any sort of sacrifices in Genesis 4, this priestly reinvestiture has to be in place. So when the offering of the ground is offered up, it may be associating it with the fig leaves

to know in his RD 192, says that Genesis 3.9 is God using anthropomorphic language to summon Adam and Eve. And he says the idea that God did not know where Adam and Eve were, this is Bavinck’s language, is quote-unquote absurd. It’s absurd because God knows the most minor and insignificant details,

then you do see how Zechariah 1a speaks to the secret of the covenant. Then you see how it explodes upon the entirety of Scripture. So what does Klein do?

And it’s not a line that’s ruling as kings, like, you know, they’re still in the image of God, even though they’re fallen. But they’re a line bearing the promise, as we talked about, Genesis 3.15, that seed promise that God will send forth from the woman, one, an individual, who will crush the head

Genesis 3:15 · Rita Cefalu

This is the line hearkening back to that Genesis 3.15, the promised seed. Abel was killed. He was a good seed. Cain killed him. But God has now replaced that seed with Seth. And then Seth’s son Enosh is kind of maybe a play on Enoch a little bit. But even more importantly, the Enoch of Adam’s geneal

Genesis 3:15

And he is revealing to us the wonder and the beauty of his ultimate plan. It starts in Genesis 3.15, which is the promise of the seed of the woman who would crush the head of the serpent.

Genesis 3:15 · Bill Dennison

I want to challenge my colleagues in this discussion to really think of the Christ and culture issue in terms of the redemptive historical contrast of biblical revelation. And what I’m thinking here is, with respect to the Genesis 3.15, with the seed of the woman versus the seed of the serpent.

Genesis 3:15 · Bill Dennison

Indeed, I agree with him that the Lord is the Lord over all in blessing and in judgment, but we must keep still the very core of the history of biblical revelation at the forefront of this antithesis that Van Til talks about himself incorporated from Genesis 3.15.

Genesis 3:15 · Rob McKenzie

After the fall. Let’s back up a little bit, though. What do we learn from Genesis 3.15?

Genesis 3:15 · Robert Tarullo

Well, let’s see. Genesis 3.15 is in the midst of the discussion of the fall, right? It’s at the curse being stated by God. And we have there in the New American Standard. This is what I have in front of me. And I will put enmity between you and the woman and between your seed and her seed. He shall

Genesis 3:15 · Rob McKenzie

But this is one of the way of thinking about this as Genesis 3.15, as the first gospel, as seeing this and seeing that expanded throughout all of scripture is something that was very different for me coming to the Reformed faith. Because, of course, we – dispensationalism, as I was taught, eschatolo

Genesis 3:15 · Rob McKenzie

And we see that in some Ezekiel, some Daniel, mostly in the book of Revelation. But to see in the Reformed world, we talk about eschatology starting here in Genesis 3.15.

Genesis 3:15 · Lane G. Tipton

And that means that the organic and revelatory process begun in Genesis 3.15 after the fall has moved to what we can call its revelatory climax. Now, that’s not to say the incarnation apart from suffering and glory is the climax,

Genesis 3:15 · Nick Batzig

If I were a Jew in the Old Testament and I was raised to sacrifice, I was raised to observe everything God had spoken in His Word, how would I have, how would I have been expected before the Lord to understand those sacrifices in regard to the redemption that God had promised back at Genesis 3.15, r

Genesis 3:15 · Bill Dennison

the present evil age and the age to come, has some type of anticipatory relationship all the way back to Genesis 3.15, between the seed of the woman and the seed of the serpent. And there’s only the two kingdoms, the kingdom of God and the kingdom of Satan. And so that’s the continuation of this unt

Genesis 3:15 · Glen Clary

Right. Well, the events in Genesis 4 have to be interpreted against the background of Genesis 3, and that would be a great place to start. And maybe just to begin today, I can point out three verses in particular from Genesis 3 and make a few comments about them. The first one is Genesis 3.15, where

Genesis 3:15 · Glen Clary

the proto-euangelion. And it’s in Genesis 3.15 that God says to the serpent, and he’s pronouncing a curse on the serpent. And he says to the serpent that he will put enmity between the serpent and the woman, and between her offspring and his offspring. And the offspring of the woman will crush the h

Genesis 3:15 · Camden Bucey

proclivities or persuasions. The gospel’s there. The gospel’s present and promised in Genesis 3.15, but it’s carried on all the way through. Genesis 4, all the way to the end in Revelation. And this is God’s overarching plan of salvation revealed progressively onto his people from age to age, really

Genesis 3:15 · Tom Schreiner

isn’t it remarkable when we get these stunning promises starting with Genesis 3.15? And then we think of the promises made to Abraham about land, seed, and a blessing. So we begin with Old Testament theology. Well, the whole book of Genesis is about the fulfillment of the promise of seed, and perhap

Genesis 3:15 · Camden Bucey

is still found organically in the Old Testament in Genesis 3.15. It isn’t just something tacked on. What do you think about that? I mean, what about the organic nature of Revelation and how does that come into play in terms of how Christ hyper-fulfills or surprisingly fulfills the Old Testament prop

Genesis 3:15 · Tom Schreiner

Yeah. Yeah. Well, if I’m understanding your question, I would say we have to say that we have a mystery revealed but also a prophecy fulfilled. So we have both dimensions there. And if you push too hard a mystery revealed, you can lose that other strand, which is we have a prophecy fulfilled. And I

Genesis 3:15 · David Murray

They weren’t just reading their national history. They weren’t just reading a book of law. They weren’t just reading about ritual and some nice stories. They knew this was a book that was to teach them about who God was and how God saved. The whole Old Testament has this forward-looking momentum fro

Genesis 3:15 · David Murray

Yeah, I think it’s important to see that the normal, the usual way that God deals with sinners is through his Son. True from Genesis 3.15 onwards, as Jonathan Edwards makes clear, that we must always deal with God through a mediator.

Genesis 3:15 · Lane G. Tipton

and he is exposed in his nakedness, that this is a deliberate allusion to Genesis 3. Noah becomes naked like Adam, and he does so through sin. That’s one point to grasp here. Genesis 3.15 is in the background. Adam and Eve have sinned against God. They are exposed as naked in God’s side.

Genesis 3:15 · Lane G. Tipton

Yeah, and your mastery of Rahner and Roman Catholicism has really drawn your attention to this, right? Because this is something that’s very distinctive of the Reformed tradition and of Protestantism. And is it, Camden, don’t you think, it goes back to the Genesis 3.15 promise that I will create enm

Genesis 3:15 · Lane G. Tipton

This will be done for the descendants of Shem, for Abraham and his seed. And so this is covenant promise now, and it’s almost as though we’re watching the seed that was sown in Genesis 3.15 begin to blossom, to use Voss’s imagery.

Genesis 3:15 · Rob McKenzie

Yes. Except not as a dispensation. Not as a dispensation. No. That is correct. Even the dispensation of innocence. I mean, we’re still feeling the effects. I mean, that we broke it, but then we still have Genesis 3.15. It’s still connected with that. So, all the dispensations, in some sense, have a

Genesis 3:15 · Lane G. Tipton

And calls those who follow him their father. They are his seed. And that’s a direct allusion, or an indirect allusion to Genesis 3.15. And so this is, it’s clear that you have both a serpent and the person of Satan present and utilizing that serpent in order to achieve the subtlety of temptation.

Genesis 3:19 · Lane G. Tipton

in terms of Genesis 3.19 and the curse that the Lord pronounces upon Adam. But one thing to remember, and this is critical, is that the deepest and most robust notion of death in Scripture is the loss of communion with God, who is life. That the severing of the communion bond is death. And then,

Genesis 3:15 · Nick Batzig

through the Redeemer, Genesis 3.15. But they should have grasped that. And so they’re not just leaving the land, they’re leaving Bethlehem, and they’re leaving Judah. They’re leaving the very heart of where God has promised that he’s going to put his kingdom.

Genesis 3:15 · Nick Batzig

Yeah, I also wonder if there’s not a manual principle, as Oppenheimer-Robertson calls it, where they’re supposed to be looking for the fulfillment of Genesis 3.15, the seed promise through Abraham. And you kind of see that surface, I think, with Judah and Tamar, where Onan goes in and he spills his

Genesis 3:15 · Robert J. McKelvey

From the declaration of war in Genesis 3.15 to that, which is carried all the way through the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. And he goes on to talk about the different types of histories that people were writing.

Genesis 3:15 · Jeff Waddington

I mean, one could argue, redemptive historically, going back to the fall, that polemics begin at least at Genesis 3.15, where God himself sets up an antithesis between the seed of the woman and the seed of the serpent.

Genesis 3:15 · Rob McKenzie

It takes us back to Genesis 3.15 where, you know, that the seed of the woman would crush the seed of the serpent. And if that doesn’t happen, then Adam and Eve who are now under judgment where they’ve been kicked out of the garden away from the tree of life with the angel with the sword.

Genesis 3:15 · Camden Bucey

Of course, we know that Adam sinned against the Lord and fell into a state of sin and misery as a result under God’s wrath and curse, but God communicates himself still. He continues to reveal himself to his people. And even as early as Genesis 3.15, we see this wonderful promise we call the Proto-E

Genesis 3:15 · Camden Bucey

And then a house for New Covenant people who believe by faith and not by works. That’s just not an appropriate way to think about the Bible. There’s a unity of God’s plan of salvation. That’s why in the Reformed tradition we speak of one covenant of grace, which is given in seed form all the way as

Genesis 3:15 · Robert Tarullo

Or whether, you know, you’re in the whole of the Bible as a whole. You know, you read Genesis 3.15 and there’s a prophecy. But having been on this side of the cross, you know what that prophecy means, so you interpret it that way. If you read it literalistically, you can’t read Christ there, can you

Genesis 3:15 · Camden Bucey

Genesis 3.15, is that merely just a promise of the future new covenant? And then Abraham. How does Abraham and what’s happening in Genesis 12, 15, 17, 22, how do those different events relate to conditions and or relate to the new covenant, particularly seeing how Paul talks about it in Romans 4? Ri

Genesis 3:15 · Jeremy Boothby

Yeah, so you’re right on track there. Genesis 3.15 is merely a promise. And so it is with all of the types and promises of the old covenant.

Genesis 3:15 · Jeff Waddington

Now, I think there’s the four elements before we delve into this, really the focus of the article. The four elements are, I think, are there. The idea of corporate personality. And this we could trace back to Genesis 3.15 in terms of the seed of the woman, the seed of the serpent.

Genesis 3:15 · Glen Clary

promise of redemption in Scripture, Genesis 3.15. God said that he would put enmity between the serpent and the woman and between the serpent’s offspring and her offspring. And her offspring would bruise the serpent’s head, and the serpent would bruise his heel. So God promised there to become the s

Genesis 3:15 · Glen Clary

the virgin birth is the fulfillment of the mother promise in Genesis 3.15, because it is through the virgin birth that the seed of the woman, the offspring of the woman, comes into the world

Genesis 3:15 · Ken Golden

enter God’s rest if we are sinful? And the answer is, of course, somebody shall enter it for us, shall earn it for us. And the rest of that plays out from Genesis 3.15 on to Revelation.

Genesis 3:15 · Glen Clary

And God made that promise first in Genesis 3, verse 15, and then he sealed that promise by instituting the sacrificial system of worship. Now, this is only intimated in Genesis chapter 3, verse 21, where it says that God made for Adam and Eve garments of skins and clothed them.

Genesis 3:15 · Glen Clary

Absolutely. So one very important thing to note here is that the law given to Adam initially as a covenant of works was his path of ascension. By his obedience to it, he would have ascended had he obeyed to the realm of the Spirit. And for the new Adam promised in Genesis 3.15, the law is still his

Genesis 3:21 · Glen Clary

And God made that promise first in Genesis 3, verse 15, and then he sealed that promise by instituting the sacrificial system of worship. Now, this is only intimated in Genesis chapter 3, verse 21, where it says that God made for Adam and Eve garments of skins and clothed them.

Genesis 3:15 · S. M. Baugh

And he will bring his purpose to an end. And so when he makes that promise in Genesis 3.15 that he’s going to bring in the destruction of the serpent and bring in the victory of the seed of the woman, that’s he’s going to, you know, bring in the enmity that results in the kingdom of God. You see tha

Genesis 3:15 · Dennis Johnson

Geerhardus Vos, that brings into view that the circumstances are not just the immediate historical events of an Old Testament passage, but the place of those events in the flow of God’s covenant working, moving toward redemption in Christ, that from the implicit promise in God’s judgment on Satan in

Genesis 3:15 · Danny Olinger

In regard to, if you go back to Genesis chapter 3 and what happens in the covenant of grace in Genesis 3.15, you have Adam and Eve who have sinned. You have the promise of the seed of the woman. And you have the serpent. And he’s saying, we’re told in Revelation 12.9 that the dragon is the serpent.

Genesis 3:15 · Danny Olinger

And the good news here is that even though the myrtles find themselves surrounded by a world that hates them, the red rider is with them. And he is going to, they will prevail through him. And so then he takes you to chapter 3, and you find in the same, you know, things that’s happening in Genesis 3

Genesis 3:15 · Jim Cassidy

Well, yeah. I mean, maybe to get overly technical, I might say that my answer would be the same, whether we’re talking about the old covenant or the new covenant, right? In the sense that we’re talking about Jesus as an intercessor for the people of God in the covenant of grace from Genesis 3.15 on,

Genesis 3:15 · Mark Jones

That justification for him takes place at the first promise in Genesis 3.15. So, and then of course it has to be applied to the conscience. So it shows that Goodwin was different from Maccovius, and Goodwin was different from Owen, and Maccovius was different from Owen, and Maccovius and Goodwin wer

Genesis 3:15 · Rob McKenzie

And He gives in Genesis 3.15, we’re given the proto-evangelicum, the first gospel. Here it is. The seed of the woman will crush the head of the seed of the serpent who will bite his heel. Now, a dispensation, a next dispensation does not have to start immediately, but it does. And it starts right at

It’s not been commanded to us not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. But Adam sinned and we are still suffering from the consequences of that sin. And as Genesis 3.15 is the prophecy of Christ, we are still connected to that. The dispensation of conscience, well, Romans 1. Our con

Genesis 3:15 · Robert Tarullo

Wait till next week, yeah. When we talk about our next time, when we talk about the dispensational promise. I am still curious about the concept of grace, though. Okay. You mentioned Genesis 3.15 just a few moments ago and how it was about the promise of Christ. Did dispensationalists see it as a pr

Genesis 3:15 · Ken Golden

we see how God circumvents, how he oversees and triumphs through the covenant of grace. Now, Genesis 3.15 and the following verses very subtly but profoundly show God’s plan that’s going to be unpacked throughout the rest of Scripture. And I think that’s very powerful language that we see in the Scr

Genesis 3:15 · Glen Clary

They overlap and they are pointing forward to the one who will bear the curse of the covenant in fulfillment of the mother promise. They ultimately go back to the mother promise in Genesis 3.15, where God promises that the offspring of the woman, the seed of the woman, will, by means of having his h

So he accomplishes redemption by means of his atoning sacrificial death.

Genesis 3:15 · David Noe

And so, um, again, not speaking to Gurnall, but it’s an extended meditation on the Proto-Evangelium of Genesis 3.15. And then traces that theme through, uh, virtually every biblical occurrence of, um, holy warfare. As the Christian is engaged in conflict against, you know, the threefold enemies. The

Genesis 3:15 · Bill Dennison

It is not the antithesis of biblical revelation. The antithesis of biblical revelation is grounded in Genesis 3.15. That is where it is.

Genesis 3:15 · Lane G. Tipton

richer revelation is in continuity, in substantial continuity with what was already revealed as early as Genesis 3.15 and following. Right. Philosophically speaking, substantially. I mean,

Genesis 3:15 · Camden Bucey

experience every day, even though those of us who have been redeemed by Christ, we have that hope of future glory. And we have the comfort of the Holy Spirit still daily, each and every day we deal with pain and suffering. What do we see in Genesis 3.15 relative to the curses and human suffering? Wh

Genesis 3:15 · Lane G. Tipton

structure from Genesis 3.15. But just the second point I want to make is that addressing that very concern, and I’ll be brief here, in Genesis 3.21 and in 3.24 you get these two additional features. Number one, the Lord covers over the nakedness of Adam and Eve. He addresses, in other words,

Genesis 3:16 · Lane G. Tipton

thorns and thistles. And what you basically get in Genesis 3.16 through 19 is an adumbration of what the preacher says in the book of Ecclesiastes. That the world has been subjected to vanity, as Paul will say in Romans 8.20, to futility. And this is an enduring feature of life prior to the

Genesis 3:15 · Ryan Noha

You connected that intimately to what we know about the champion, the promised champion, of Genesis 3.15. And so, as I was reading each chapter, underneath your title, I was writing, the champion is the serpent crusher. The champion is, you know, the seed of Abraham who will bring blessing to the na

Genesis 3:15 · Camden Bucey

God has been speaking a unified message of his son from the very beginning, from Genesis 3.15. As soon as the fall into sin, God speaks about the seed of the woman. That’s Jesus. And everything we see in the Gospels is the truth in the sense of the fullness and the complete revelation and the fulfil

Genesis 3:15 · Lane G. Tipton

And Voss is saying, no, because the revelation of the gospel. Let me put it, let me put it basically. The revelation of the gospel of God’s son begins historically in Genesis 3.15 and moves organically and progressively to its consummate revelation in the incarnate and glorified Christ.

Genesis 3:15 · Danny Olinger

In regard to, if you go back to Genesis chapter 3 and what happens in the covenant of grace in Genesis 3.15, you have Adam and Eve who have sinned. You have the promise of the seed of the woman. And you have the serpent. And he’s saying, we’re told in Revelation 12.9 that the dragon is the serpent.

Genesis 3:15 · Danny Olinger

And the good news here is that even though the myrtles find themselves surrounded by a world that hates them, the red rider is with them. And he is going to, they will prevail through him. And so then he takes you to chapter 3, and you find in the same, you know, things that’s happening in Genesis 3

Genesis 3:15 · Nancy Guthrie

Well, we certainly see that God is at work preserving his people for the very purpose that we saw back there in Genesis 3.15, that he intends for this promised one to come.

Genesis 3:15 · Camden Bucey

Like that must be the way that you read Scripture. Amen. And post Genesis 3.15, well, post Genesis 3 and the fall into sin, all of that comes through the work, the person and work of our Savior Jesus Christ who died and was raised for our salvation.

Genesis 3:15 · Jeff Waddington

The antithesis is a matter of the fall and how God addresses the fall going back to Genesis 3.15. He would put enmity between the seed of the woman and the seed of the serpent and then eventually the seed of the woman would crush the head of the seed of the serpent.

Genesis 3:15 · Camden Bucey

elects Abraham and decides to make a gigantic blessing that Abraham, through him, you know, the blessing of his Son ultimately would come to the whole world. Yes. And so that’s the promise of the gospel, and we see it time and time again, Genesis 3.15 all the way through the end of Scripture. A lot

Genesis 3:15 · Camden Bucey

We don’t just artificially stick Christ back onto the Old in some form of reader response theory or, as some people have done, reimagine the Old Testament in light of Christ, even if it’s inspired by the Spirit. Now, we believe that when the Lord speaks to Adam and Eve in Genesis 3.15, that’s the pr

Genesis 3:15 · Lane G. Tipton

That’s why Van Til said if you oppose a Reformed conception of reason, you are intrinsically semi-Pelagian and you reduce the effects of sin to weakening rather than blinding. So, one of the things that Genesis 3.15 and Romans 8.7 and 8 makes clear is that enmity, absolute ethical hostility against

Genesis 3:15 · Camden Bucey

The kingdom of God is upon us, and we’re living now in a different age than John the Baptist and everyone before him. But this is an organic unfolding and a progression of what began in the Proto-Evangelium, the first promise of the gospel in Genesis 3.15.

Genesis 3:15 · Jeff Waddington

And that actually what he’s doing is picking up on a way of reading scripture that has actually been around from the earliest days. And Augustine goes back to Genesis 3.15, and the curse upon Adam and Eve, and the promise of the coming Messiah. Now what he does is he points out, hey, look, there are

Genesis 3:15 · Carlton Wynne

like how did they become believers in the first place? Well, some say Genesis 3.15 has this promise of the gospel, and there’s this subterranean stream of the promise of the gospel that is distinct from all the rights and shadows of Israel, and it’s faith in that promise that does it. But our brothe

But that notwithstanding, he certainly says that from Genesis 3.15 onward, we find absolutely considered the covenant of grace, its substance and its pro

So it doesn’t end in total disaster for everybody, because there’s that promise of relief underlying the supplemented Old Cove

And, of course, you know, the antithesis can be pressed, you know, to an extreme. Like Kuyper did. Right. Right. I mean, so, I mean, we do need to grant that. But Bill’s point was merely is that the point of Genesis 3.15 and Augustine’s The City of God is that there’s the seed of the people and ther

it centers on Christ. We have to recognize that Scripture is supernatural, redemptive revelation from old to new, from Genesis 3.15 through to the new, and this organism is inborn in the Bible, and we are not to use reason or historical

But we believe that Adam and Eve were in the kingdom of God by grace because of the actions of God after the fall and promising the coming of the Messiah who would bruise the heel and crush the head of the servant. That, of course, is a reference in Genesis 3.15 to the coming of the Messiah. After t

for instance, once you look at someone who has done what Adam didn’t do, who has crushed the serpent’s head, Genesis 3.15, who has clothed God’s people with garments of righteousness, 3.21, 3.20, and who has passed under the flaming sword of judgment, Jesus Christ, what does he do? What does the Mes

It’s helpful to read widely so that we can understand these things. It is, brother. So now we have the fall into sin in Genesis 3, and that changed things dramatically, to say the least, in the course of human history. But what does Voss say about Genesis 3, verse 21, particularly with

I’m not going to read it all, but in Colossians 3.10, you have put on, same root verb found in Genesis 3.21 in the Septuagint, being renewed in the knowledge and after the image of its creator, Ephesians 4.21, you are to put on the new self created in th

But if that is true, why would acquiring the knowledge of evil make us like God? Genesis 3.22 The Lord God said, behold, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. So if Adam acquired knowledge by disobeying, how would that make him like God?

Genesis 3:23 · Lane G. Tipton

it’s in that context that in Genesis 2.9, and then later in Genesis 3.23 and 24, that you get the reference to the tree of life. And Voss says that the tree of life brings into view, and this is critical,

and wrath. But if you think back to Genesis 3.23 and 24, you remember that once Adam sinned under the covenant of works and God entered into a second covenant, the covenant of grace with him and promised a redeemer, promised a messiah, a second Adam who would bruise the serpent’s head, 3.23, 14 and
