We gather here today
with open hearts and minds
to grow in faith and truth.
(00:53):
Welcome to Bible Bites, the podcast where we work to inspire faith one bite at a time. I'm your host, Brandy Black.
Genesis chapter three verse 15 stands as one of the most profound and hope filled verses in the entire Bible.
Often referred to as the protoevangelium
or the gospel,
(01:15):
this verse contains the very
promise of a savior,
a redeemer who would come through the lineage of the woman,
Eve.
Even in the midst of mankind's
act of rebellion,
God pronounced both judgment
and hope,
declaring war between the serpent and the woman and between their respective seeds.
(01:37):
Through this scripture,
we glimpse God's eternal plan to redeem humanity through Jesus Christ.
This episode
will explore the significance of this verse
and trace its fulfill fulfillment
through various scripture,
showing just how God's plan of salvation was in place
(01:58):
from the very beginning.
Before we dive into the word, let's open up
in prayer.
Heavenly father,
we thank you for the depth of your mercy
and the power of your promises.
In the very moment of humanity's fall,
(02:19):
you offered hope through the promise of a savior.
Help us today to better understand your redemptive plan that began in the garden and culminated at the cross.
Open our hearts and minds to the truth of your word.
Let this scripture
deepen our faith,
(02:40):
strengthen
our hope,
and fill us with gratitude
for the great salvation
we have in Christ.
In the name of your son, Jesus, we pray.
Amen.
(03:03):
Genesis
three fifteen,
And I will make enemies of you and the woman
and of your offspring
and her descendant.
He shall bruise you on the head
and you shall bruise Him on the heel.
(03:24):
Genesis chapter three verse 15 is
more than a judgment upon the serpent.
It is a declaration of divine warfare and redemptive promise.
God addresses Satan directly
and declares hostility between him and the woman and between their offspring.
Importantly, the term seed or descendant in reference to the woman
(03:47):
is singular,
indicating
a specific
individual.
This is the foretelling of the coming messiah, born of a woman who would ultimately
defeat the serpent,
Satan,
once and for all.
The reference to the bruising of the heel and the bruising of the head speaks of a mutual wounding
(04:09):
but of unequal consequence.
Satan would strike a blow against the savior
most clearly seen in the crucifixion,
but Christ would deliver the fatal blow to Satan's dominion through his death and his resurrection.
This is echoed in Hebrews chapter two verse 14
where it says, therefore,
(04:31):
since the children share in flesh and blood,
he himself likewise also partook of the same
so that through death, he might destroy the one who has the power of death,
that is the devil.
In Isaiah chapter seven verse 14, we see this promise reinforced with greater clarity.
(04:52):
Therefore, the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and she will name him Immanuel.
This miraculous
virgin birth
points again to the seed of the woman,
not of the
man, and reveals that God's plan includes both divine intervention
(05:13):
and miraculous fulfillment.
Moving forward into the New Testament in Luke chapter one
verses 26 through 35,
it records that the angel Gabriel
announcing to Mary that she would conceive by the Holy Spirit
and give birth to the son of God.
This is the direct fulfillment of Genesis
(05:35):
three fifteen
and Isaiah
seven fourteen.
Mary's lineage traced back to Eve
shows the thread of God's promise woven through generations.
The seed had come,
not through human power or planning,
but by divine
initiative.
Paul affirms this connection in Galatians chapter four verses four and five where he
(06:01):
writes, but when the fullness of the time came, God sent his son, born of a woman,
born under the law,
so that he might redeem those who were under the law that we might receive
the adoption
as sons and daughters.
This passage reinforces both the timing and the purpose of Christ's coming.
(06:22):
Redemption
was always the goal,
and Eve's lineage was always part of that plan.
Finally, in Romans
chapter 16 verse 20,
we can have a look ahead there where it says, the God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.
(06:44):
This verse reminds
us that while the decisive victory
was won at the cross,
the final defeat of Satan is still to come.
The promise made in Genesis is both fulfilled
and being fulfilled,
and we, as the church,
await the full manifestation
of Christ's triumph.
(07:06):
There are many key takeaways
from these passages of scripture today.
The is that God's redemptive plan was initiated immediately after the fall.
God did not leave humanity in despair.
From the very moment of sin,
he revealed his plan to redeem us through the offspring
(07:29):
of the woman.
Our takeaway is the promise centers on a person,
a seed of the woman.
The specific mention of her descendant
points directly to Jesus Christ,
who would come in human flesh
to fulfill this prophecy.
Next, we see the virgin birth is a birth is a fulfillment of this prophecy.
(07:54):
The prophecies in Isaiah
and
their fulfillment in Luke
affirm this miraculous nature
of Jesus's birth
and
verify the divine origin
of our savior.
Next, we see that God's works works through weakness
and through humility.
(08:15):
God chose humble vessels like Eve and Mary to bring about his plan on earth,
showing that he values faithfulness
and prominence.
Next, we have the prophecy and the fulfillment validating God's word. The consistency
of the fulfilled prophecy across the scripture
(08:35):
builds our trust in the Bible
and in God's faithfulness.
Christ's victory
is both present
and his future.
Jesus
has already triumphed over sin and death,
but the full defeat of Satan will be completed
when he returns
one day.
(08:58):
Salvation is rooted in God's initiative,
not in human effort.
From Genesis to Revelation,
redemption is a work of divine grace,
not human merit.
And finally, we are part of the ongoing fulfillment
of the promise.
As Christ's body, the church continues to spread the message of redemption,
(09:23):
pushing back the darkness
with the light of the gospel.
These ideas in this lesson, in this episode,
draw us
into the heart of God's redemptive narrative.
Genesis three fifteen
isn't just about the fall.
It's about the future.
(09:44):
It tells us that God, even when angered by sin,
never
gave up
on his creation.
The promise
to Eve
was a whisper
of grace,
amidst the thunder of judgment.
God already saw the cross from Eden
(10:04):
and had already appointed Christ as the lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
We see that God's plans are neither accidental
nor reactionary.
Every detail
from the virgin birth to the exact timing of Jesus' arrival
was orchestrated
by divine wisdom.
(10:26):
Even Satan's temporary victories were permitted only to serve a greater purpose,
the revelation of God's glory through redemption.
In this episode today, it it these these scriptures remind us
of our place in the story.
Just as
Eve
was the mother of all living
(10:47):
and Mary bore the savior of the world,
we too have a role.
We are spiritual descendants,
part of
God's redemptive moment in history.
The crushing of the serpent continues
as we proclaim
Christ
crucified
and risen.
(11:09):
And as we reflect on these truths,
may we not merely appreciate the story,
but participate
actively in it.
Let us cling
to the hope
found in Jesus,
the promised seed,
and be bold in sharing the gospel
(11:29):
with a broken world that still echoes
with the consequences
of Eden's choice.
Let's close out with a prayer.
Gracious and mighty God, thank you for the promise made in the garden and fulfilled in Christ.
Thank you for the victory over sin and death that Jesus secured
(11:51):
through his life,
death, and resurrection.
Help us to live with confidence in your plan and purpose.
Give us courage to proclaim this good news to the world that is in need.
May we walk in faith knowing
that just as you kept your promises in the past,
(12:12):
you will bring them to completion in the future.
In the name of Jesus, the seed of the woman and the savior of the world, we pray.
Amen.

That's podcasting2pointorg/apps.
Here at Bible Bytes, we operate this podcast under the value for value model. Our goal is that each week when we put out our episodes, we are providing value to you. And then in turn, you would provide value back to us. And under this model, we have that in three forms. We call those time, talent, and treasure.
(12:57):
Time is as simple as taking the time each week to listen to the episodes as they come out. It could also be taking the time to share an episode with someone else that you feel could be touched in some way or could learn from it, or maybe even it be a way for them to be channeled toward Jesus,
and they feel that calling and they accept him as their savior.
Talent will be offering to assist us in some way with creating the show. We have different cover art for every episode. You can assist with that. We have
(13:25):
ideas and things you can submit in for scripture, for lesson topics, things we can look at with those, as a way to kind of direct things. You could even step up and write an entire,
episode of the show. Script it out, plan it all out with us, and get it going. And even if you chose, you could even step up, and we would happily allow you to record and be a part of the show.
(13:46):
The last area is in treasure, and the idea of treasure is something that is, in this case, financial. It does cost money to produce the show.
It is supported
mostly
from directly from myself, but if you if you choose to, there are ways you can provide support to us that is financial.
One of those is by listening to the modern podcast app. In those apps, you can set up a wallet
(14:09):
that is filled with Satoshis. Satoshis are very small amounts of Bitcoin, and you can choose to stream
Satoshis to the show. In doing so, you would choose the amount you stream per minute. If you wanted to stream 10 sats a minute, that's perfectly acceptable. If you're getting a lot of value and you wanna stream 500 sats a minute, that would be amazing too. It's all up to the value you feel you're getting from the show.
(14:33):
You can also send in a boost. A boost is a one time pledge to support in an amount of Satoshis from one of those apps. You can also send it a boost to gram. A boost to gram would be a boost, but have a message attached to it, and you use that message to provide encouragement, to make suggestions. You can use it to even send us prayer requests,
that we can share on this on the show.
(14:53):
There's also,
on our web page, our website, there's a page there, the value for value page, where you can go to the bottom of the page, and there is an embedded widget there from PayPal. You can use PayPal
to send a one time pledge of support, or you can make a an ongoing pledge of support and share that,
with us,
for the value you're receiving.
(15:13):
There's also links there for Albi for Strike. Those are two ways you can do that as well with some cryptocurrency
things.
Those are acceptable as well. And we have a link there for Auphonic. Auphonic is the tool we use to process our audio before we put it out. And if you want to, you can purchase one time credits on Auphonic for us. That'll help us,
(15:33):
in assisting to create the broadcast or create the podcast.
If you wanna learn more about the value for value model and what it is we're doing with it here on the show, head over to our website. You can hit that at bible-bytes.com/vforv.
That's bible-byteswithay,bytes.com/theletterv,thenumberfour,
(15:55):
and theletterv.
We hope that you would if you have prayer requests, you would willingly share those with us so that we can lift those up with our audience together, and and hand those off to the Lord.
We've had some prayer requests going on recently, that have been long term ones. We're gonna keep those going. Remember my mom and dad, we've discussed that in the future in the in the past. Remember our friends, Greg and Kim as well.
(16:20):
Continue to remember. I haven't I didn't mention him last week, and I don't know if I did the week before, but, Tim Kolek, a gentleman who was a strong influence on me as a youngster,
growing up in the church. Let's remember him
and his his battle he's going through health wise and his wife as she's there to support him and help with everything.
(16:40):
Remember,
my my wife's I'm sorry. My my father's cousin as he's recovering from having a a an amputation of a toe,
and the things he's going through with that and the healing and things, and maybe it'll help him to he can
heal and and be and be successful in returning back to normalcy,
(17:01):
in his life.
We've had some pretty horrendous
rain and storms here the last few days, in my in my area, and wanna remember everybody who's been affected by that. Lots of flooding has occurred.
People were, you know,
removed from their homes. The cause of everything had to be evacuated.
People couldn't get back to their homes.
So we have
(17:23):
those people we wanna remember,
as we go through this as well and continue to remember me, still adjusting the medication and things with with everything. I think I'm starting to do pretty well. Starting to, you know, watch my my blood glucose and see where it's at with the help of a a constant,
glucose monitor so I can see where that's at and see what how foods and drinks and different things affect me, so that I can I can make better choices and decisions with managing that?
(17:51):
But as we do each week, let's go ahead and take these requests and lift them up to the Lord in prayer before we talk about our next episode.
Heavenly father, we thank you again for this opportunity to share your word through this podcast.
Remember these requests
that we've shared with our audience that they're lifting up to you as well. Remember my parents, our friends, Greg and Kim,
(18:16):
Tim and his wife, Kim,
Kevin,
as he recovers things, the people who've been affected by the storms and the flooding here in our area recently and myself. And, also, any unspoken requests that those who are listening to the show may not share with us, but you know what they are. You know what the requests that need to be answered are. You have the wisdom
(18:36):
to to answer those in a way that best fits
with your will, and we trust you for that.
Ultimately, our goal in this podcast is to share your word in hopes that it helps others to learn, to grow closer to you and your son, and even for those who may not be saved to hear it and to accept him as
(18:58):
their savior so they can then spend eternity in heaven with you and him and all of us who are saved.
It's in the name of your son, Jesus, that we pray.
Amen.
Our next episode, we're gonna move on to our next woman of the Bible in our series, and that's going to be Sarah. We're gonna look at Genesis chapter 15 verses one through six as well as Genesis chapter 16
(19:23):
verses one through six. And we're gonna look at the the whole idea of faith and doubt and waiting
on God's promises.
So join us on the next episode of Bible Bites, the podcast where we work to inspire faith one bite at a time.
(20:24):
As we did last week and the week before, we're continuing by sharing,
some some worship and praise music at the end of our episodes. This week, we're gonna take a track out in the value verse from the Metro Life worship. Metro Life Church is a church with two campuses based in in Southern Florida, and this is off of the album they've put out called praise the Lord. It's a live recording, and this track is called

Welcome to Bible Bites, the podcast where we work to inspire faith one bite at a time. I'm your host, Brandy Black.
Genesis chapter three verse 15 stands as one of the most profound and hope filled verses in the entire Bible.
Often referred to as the protoevangelium

(01:37):
Through this scripture,
we glimpse God's eternal plan to redeem humanity through Jesus Christ.
This episode
will explore the significance of this verse
and trace its fulfill fulfillment
through various scripture,
showing just how God's plan of salvation was in place
(01:58):
from the very beginning.
Before we dive into the word, let's open up
in prayer.
Heavenly father,
we thank you for the depth of your mercy
and the power of your promises.
In the very moment of humanity's fall,
(02:19):
you offered hope through the promise of a savior.
Help us today to better understand your redemptive plan that began in the garden and culminated at the cross.
Open our hearts and minds to the truth of your word.
Let this scripture
deepen our faith,
(02:40):
strengthen
our hope,
and fill us with gratitude
for the great salvation
we have in Christ.
In the name of your son, Jesus, we pray.
Amen.
(03:03):
Genesis
three fifteen,
And I will make enemies of you and the woman
and of your offspring
and her descendant.
He shall bruise you on the head
and you shall bruise Him on the heel.
(03:24):
Genesis chapter three verse 15 is
more than a judgment upon the serpent.
It is a declaration of divine warfare and redemptive promise.
God addresses Satan directly
and declares hostility between him and the woman and between their offspring.

indicating
a specific

This is the foretelling of the coming messiah, born of a woman who would ultimately
defeat the serpent,
Satan,
once and for all.
The reference to the bruising of the heel and the bruising of the head speaks of a mutual wounding
(04:09):
but of unequal consequence.
Satan would strike a blow against the savior
most clearly seen in the crucifixion,
but Christ would deliver the fatal blow to Satan's dominion through his death and his resurrection.
This is echoed in Hebrews chapter two verse 14
where it says, therefore,
(04:31):
since the children share in flesh and blood,
he himself likewise also partook of the same
so that through death, he might destroy the one who has the power of death,
that is the devil.
In Isaiah chapter seven verse 14, we see this promise reinforced with greater clarity.
(04:52):
Therefore, the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and she will name him Immanuel.
This miraculous
virgin birth
points again to the seed of the woman,
not of the
man, and reveals that God's plan includes both divine intervention
(05:13):
and miraculous fulfillment.
Moving forward into the New Testament in Luke chapter one
verses 26 through 35,
it records that the angel Gabriel
announcing to Mary that she would conceive by the Holy Spirit
and give birth to the son of God.
This is the direct fulfillment of Genesis
(05:35):
three fifteen
and Isaiah
seven fourteen.
Mary's lineage traced back to Eve
shows the thread of God's promise woven through generations.
The seed had come,
not through human power or planning,
but by divine
initiative.
Paul affirms this connection in Galatians chapter four verses four and five where he
(06:01):
writes, but when the fullness of the time came, God sent his son, born of a woman,
born under the law,
so that he might redeem those who were under the law that we might receive
the adoption
as sons and daughters.
This passage reinforces both the timing and the purpose of Christ's coming.
(06:22):
Redemption
was always the goal,
and Eve's lineage was always part of that plan.
Finally, in Romans
chapter 16 verse 20,
we can have a look ahead there where it says, the God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.
(06:44):
This verse reminds
us that while the decisive victory
was won at the cross,
the final defeat of Satan is still to come.
The promise made in Genesis is both fulfilled
and being fulfilled,
and we, as the church,
await the full manifestation
of Christ's triumph.

The specific mention of her descendant
points directly to Jesus Christ,

those people we wanna remember,
as we go through this as well and continue to remember me, still adjusting the medication and things with with everything. I think I'm starting to do pretty well. Starting to, you know, watch my my blood glucose and see where it's at with the help of a a constant,

(18:58):
their savior so they can then spend eternity in heaven with you and him and all of us who are saved.

Amen.
