Dear @hope777,

I am enjoying this series on Bible doctrine. I would like to share with you the first prophecy of the virgin birth.

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

And I will put enmity [hostility] between you and the woman and between your seed and her seed. The same Hebrew word for “seed” is used in both cases "Zerah" can be defined as seed, offspring or semen.

Although the same Hebrew word is used for Satan’s seed as for Eve’s seed, it is important to understand that since Eve could not produce semen, the use of the word for “seed” in Eve’s case is an allusion of the “virgin” birth of Messiah.

Although Eve’s offspring would be birthed, He would be miraculously birthed. The enmity would not only be between Satan and the “woman” but between Satan’s seed and her seed.

And I will put enmity between you and the woman and between your seed and her seed; he (the coming Messiah [woman’s seed – “singular”]) will crush your (Satan’s) head.

This is the first promise given after the Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden. Theologians call it the protoevangelium–or first gospel because these words spoken by God contain the first promise of redemption in the Bible.
