Day 14 – Jesus is the Seed of the Woman, of Noah; Lust is the Seed of Satan

Noah longed for Christ, not for the fleeting lust that Ham chased!

Genesis 1:26-28 –

²⁶ Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” ²⁷ So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. ²⁸ And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

Genesis 3:15 - ¹⁵ I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.”

God created mankind, male and female, in His image to reflect Him in at least four distinct ways:

1) Morality,

2) Thinking and reasoning,

3) Relationships

4) Dominion over creation.

But mankind sinned against God, marring His image and mirroring the evil one through sin instead (Gen 3).

Yet, God showed mercy and grace to mankind, proclaiming the gospel in Genesis 3:15. After the serpent sinned in tempting Adam and Eve, and after they sinned by desiring and partaking of the forbidden tree, God said He would put hostility between the serpent’s offspring and the woman’s. From the Garden of Eden forward throughout human history, these seeds would war, but the woman’s Seed would crush the serpent’s head, though not without bruising His heel.
