Genesis 3:15 is established the “God-ordained relationship” between “the Son of Man” and “Lucifer,” “the false light,” — “Cain’s spiritual father” before “the Law” was established by God through Moses.
“And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy SEED and her SEED. It shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise HIS heel.” (Genesis 3:15).
“The seed of Satan,” that is, his spirit of evil for machinations of wickedness in people who do wrong, demonstrates that those wrongdoers are acting in his “image and likeness,” rather than in God’s own “image and likeness.”
Satan exploits the sinfulness of Human Beings, which he was accountable for, in the first place, in order to “carry out” on the Earth, “the plan” that he could not bring to fruition in Heaven while he was an angel or “cherub” in service to God. That is, Satan attempted, but failed, in usurping the sovereign authority of God in the heavenly realm; but apparently, partly succeeded “in supplanting it” on Earth, in the lives of Human Beings, even before “the Law.” And after “the Law,” preceding the birth of Christ as well. Many times, too many to mention, God had to “discipline” the “children of Israel” for their continual rebellion against His sovereign authority, the “spirit of rebellion,” “the Seed of wickedness” as propagated by Satan’s hate-filled wickedness.
But God always “kept a Remnant” of faithful Israelites in order to fulfill His plan of Salvation for Humanity.
First, as a “Serpent” in Eden, Satan had deceived Adam and Eve to cause them to commit the “sin of disobedience.”
But, when Christ came on the earth as “the Son of Man,” while being also “the Son of the living God,” Satan altered his approach or changed his plan. He “saw and opportunity and took it.”
Then, Satan, figuring he’d “kill two birds with one stone,” conspired to “tempt Jesus” who had sojourned in the Desert without food and water for 40 days. For Jesus was both Son of Man and Son of God. Jesus rebuked him and he went away, waiting for a “more opportune time.” (Matthew 4:1–11).
Meanwhile, Satan continued to exploit the sinfulness of Humankind, as allowed by the manifestation of God’s will in sinners’ lives. Human Beings on the Earth, were Satan’s “winning ticket” to materialize his lust for power as he continuously attempts to alter or change what would otherwise could not take place “in the heavenly realm.” He failed in dethroning the Majesty of God’s Omnipotence and was cast out Heaven, for once and for all.
But, Jesus had been preparing Himself for “such a time as this.” Jesus, the Son of Man, was not only “fulfilling all righteousness” on Earth by submitting to being baptized by John the Baptist; but He was also commended and approved as “the Son of God” in whom “God is well pleased,” stated by God, during two separate occasions. (Matthew 3:17 and 17:5; John 1:32).
Jesus had already been baptized by the Prophet John the Baptist, on the one hand, and on the other hand, God had already confirmed the mission of Christ on the Earth when He said, “And Jesus, when He was baptized, went up straight way out of the water; and lo, the heavens were opened unto Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon Him. And lo, a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” (Matthew 3:16–17; Matthew 17:5).
But, still, Satan could not help being “utterly inane.” He had to try! He cannot create anything original himself, for he, himself, was an angel, “a cherub,” created by Almighty God. Satan is indeed the author of evil and the contriver of wickedness.
God’s plan was a mystery, hidden, not only from Satan, but also unknown to the people whom he would use against the righteous.
And thus, as the infallible Word of God tells us in the Holy Bible:
“But we speak of the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory, Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of Glory.” (1 Corinthians 2:7–8).
A Human Person cannot simply “self-create!” And the inanimate Universe cannot simply “spew-out” the Human Mind from nothing; nor can it impart a spirit to a “living soul” which Human Beings own.
In addition, biologically speaking, there is the first Law of Bio-Genesis: That it takes “the living cells” of others, of both the Human male and the Human female, of both a Man and a Woman, as “parents,” to begin our existence,” to begin Human life at “fertilization,” to which we refer as: “Conception!”
Were Humans to have started as “little babies” in the jungles and forests of Earth natural environment, who would have cared for them, feed and clothed them, protect them from wild animals and the elements? No adult Humans would have existed then! Thus, fails again, the theory of evolution, in providing “a godless alternative narrative” to account for the “creation” of the Universe and of Humankind in it.
The Universe was “not too bright” or “not too smart” in “creating” its own nemesis — Evolutionists believe that so-called “climate change” and “global warming” are destroying the Planet and Humans are responsible and accountable for that feat of self-destruction.
But Jesus, Son of Man and Son of God, conceived by the Holy Spirit, approved of God and to be worshipped by Human Beings as “a miracle worker” and Savior of Humanity, not only annulled and cancelled this “covenant with death,” but also ensured us “Continuum living” by giving us access to both “life abundant” and eternal life. (Isaiah 28:14–19).
For, Jesus, “the Emmanuel of God,” means “God is with us!” (1 Corinthians 13:9–13; Revelation 22:3–5). Jesus is “the light of the world” (John 9:4–7) that casts out all anxieties sprouting from “darkness,” “doubt,” “blindness,” and “fear;” for perfect love casts out fear. (John 9:35–41; 1 John 4:16–21).
“Then Joseph, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily. But while he thought on these things, Behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife; for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.” (Matthew 1:19–20).
That was to fulfill the prophecy of Isaiah, the Prophet. (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23).
Jesus was both perfect Son of God and the “Seed of Woman,” or, the Son of Man. In fulfillment of the Scriptures, Mary had descended from Adam and Eve, “mother of all the living,” and ultimately, from the Tribe of Judah; along with Joseph, the husband of Mary, also son of Jacob his father; and of course, Jesus, who was also from the Tribe of Judah.
But Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit; for Mary was a virgin. (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23–25).
So, we did not exist before we were conceived in our mothers’ wombs, before we were born! Where were we, then?
What constellations of events and activities “configured” in order to arrive at our present stage; to arrive in our times?
During which epoch, or age of Human living, — like “the state of the Union,” so to speak, — or “State of Human Society” do we enter into existence?
At what point in “the state of Human Living” — “in the annals of Human History;” — do we receive “the gift of life?”
In which historical times, in “the History of Humans,” do we encounter life, or come into being from conception to birth?
We are born into a world, during a certain period of Human History, “state of which,” we know absolutely nothing!
Secular historians have divided the history of Humankind into different “ages,” but apart from God’s immanence and omniscience, e.g., “the stone age;” “the bronze age,” etc. . .
However, as little
