This is a great message. God had provided a descendant who would put an end to the serpent, the symbol of hostile people who try to keep God's children from eternal life, by tempting them into sin. In connection with the consequences, God made a far-reaching promise to Abraham. The promise to him was that his offspring would take possession of the gate of his enemies. In practice at the time, this meant that you had defeated the enemy and determined who could enter the city and who had to leave the city. In the promise to Abraham, it means that the enemies of God and his children have been defeated and that the promised Kingdom has come. The new King not only determines who enters that kingdom, but also the former kingdom of king death on and off. Thanks for sharing
