Regarding Genesis 3:15

REGARDING GENESIS 3 verse 15.

Sharing my notes from what was taught by the late Teacher Evangelista (of the website thename.ph) during one of his Bible study sessions:
This is about God's word to Satan in Genesis 3 verse 15.

15 And I will put enmity
between you and the woman,
and between your offspring and hers;
he will crush your head,
and you will strike his heel.”
Genesis 3:15 New International Version.

God said that Satan can "strike the heel" of the descendant of Adam and Eve. This means Satan can also deceive the descendant of Adam and Eve.

The mere fact that God gave Satan the capability to test or deceive the descendant of Adam and Eve, shows that the chosen one is just a man, prone to being deceived and capable of committing wrong but also has the power of overcoming it.

The question is, who is the descendant of Adam who was destined to crush Satan or the serpent's head or overcome their deception but can also be deceived and can commit wrong?

To learn the answer to the question, we must know first the real identity of the serpent in Genesis 3:15. Let us read Revelation 12:9

"The great dragon was hurled down - that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him."
Revelation 12:9 NIV

“that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan,"- Confirmed. The serpent in Genesis 3:15 is none other than Satan.

Now that we unmasked Satan's identity, we can now know who is the descendant of Adam and Eve that he needs to deceive. Let us read Luke 4:3.

The devil said to him, "If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread."
Luke 4:3 (NIV)

Satan/Devil was challenging Jesus to turn the stone into bread. Therefore it is #Jesus who is the descendant of Adam and Eve.

We thought, as we were made to believe by the Churches and religious preachers, that Jesus overcame Satan in this event in Luke chapter 4, however, we did not give attention to what was written in Luke 4:13.

"When the devil had finished all this tempting, he left him until an opportune time."
Luke 4:13 (NIV)

"he left him until an opportune time"-As we can read, the temptation did not end there. Satan or the Devil came back to Jesus at an opportune time. This is what religions did not teach us.

What did Religions not tell us about Jesus? Aside from not telling us that Satan came back to deceive Jesus a second time.

They also did not tell us that Jesus was capable of committing wrong.

Let us read God's words in 2 Samuel 7:12-14

Be informed about the real word of God as to why He had sent Jesus:

“When your days are over and you rest with your ancestors, I will raise up your offspring to succeed you, your own flesh and blood, and I will establish his kingdom.
II Samuel 7:12 (NIV)
​
The promise was given to David - a descendant will come from his bloodline. What would be the work of the descendant?

“He is the one who will build a house for my Name,
and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever...”
II Samuel 7:13 (NIV)

The first choice was King Solomon - a “real son” or descendant of David. King Solomon built the house with the Name of God. (1 Chronicles 22:9-13)

What was the promise of God?

“I will be his father, and he will be my son. WHEN HE DOES WRONG, I WILL PUNISH HIM WITH A ROD WIELDED BY MEN, WITH FLOGGINGS INFLICTED BY HUMAN HANDS –
II Samuel 7:14 (NIV)

“WHEN HE DOES WRONG” – the descendant of David would be punished. King Solomon was not punished by “the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men", (I kings 11:1-13, v.41-43). We do know that Jesus was punished in that manner.

In the said verses: 2 Samuel 7:12-14 (NIV) – we can read that God speaks of a coming offspring of David and not a literal "son of God" as the religions preach.

And in:
You will be with child and give birth to a son
and you are to give him the name Jesus
He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High.
The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David.
Luke 1:31-32 (NIV)

"will be called" – as you have read it, Jesus was only a son or a descendant of David not a real “son of God", he was just a man.

“The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David.” – It is very clear; it is David that Jesus was descended from - meaning that he (Jesus) is not a real Son of God as the religions had preached.

Was Jesus, the descendant of King David punished by the rod and floggings of men?

All the people answered, "Let his blood be on us and on our children!"
Then he released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and
handed him over to be crucified.
Matthew 27:25-26 (NIV)

Indeed, Jesus was flogged by men, as God stated in His prophecy in 2 Samuel 7:12-14 - “I will be his father, and he will be my son. WHEN HE DOES WRONG, I WILL PUNISH HIM WITH A ROD WIELDED BY MEN, WITH FLOGGINGS INFLICTED BY HUMAN HANDS."

It is time to open OUR EYES and UNDERSTAND what God clearly said--Did God say in His prophecy that the descendant of David (who is Jesus) - will be flogged by men for the sins of mankind or for his (Jesus) own wrongdoing?

Are the religions and the Apostles right in preaching that Jesus was flogged for our sins when we read God’s own words in 2 Samuel 7:12-14?

No, because God clearly said that such floggings will happen to David’s descendant (Jesus) once he commits wrong.

Since Jesus was punished with the floggings of men because of him committing wrong, it means Satan was able to deceive him just like what happened to Adam and Eve.

Jesus’ brutal and humiliating death is the undeniable proof that he failed in his mission and not for mankind’s salvation.

This also explains why the world is under all this suffering as all this time, we have been made by churches and religions to revere and worship a man punished by God with the floggings of men because of his (Jesus) wrongdoing.
