This message, part of a study on the seven dispensations, focuses on Genesis 3:15, which it calls the central promise of the whole Bible: the seed of the woman will bruise the serpent's head. It follows that promised seed from Genesis to Revelation. The line runs through Seth, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Judah and David, and the lesson shows how the serpent tried to cut it off at every step, from Cain's murder of Abel to Herod's slaughter of the children. It also explains why the Bible records its genealogies and defends the virgin birth as the fulfillment of 'made of a woman.' It ends at the cross, where Christ destroyed the devil through death and rose again as conqueror.
