When Adam and Eve sinned against God in the garden of Eden, the first prophecy given to mankind revealed God’s Plan to redeem mankind from the curse of sin.
“I will make you and the woman
enemies to each other.
Your descendants and her descendants
will be enemies.
One of her descendants will crush your head,
and you will bite his heel”. (Genesis 3:15)
This prophecy spoke of the second part of the Triune God named Jesus. Many prophecies after this in which there are over 300 throughout the old testament scriptures are referring to Jesus.
“He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together” (Colossians 1:15-16).
He was the long awaited Messiah of the Jews. Described in scriptures as “the Lamb of God”(John 1:29), He would be the savior of Mankind from the curse of Sin. He is also described in the Holy Scriptures as
“Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6).
His sacrificial death on the cross bore the sin of the entire human race for ALL TIME. He lived a perfect life and His Perfect life would be exchanged with the sinful lives of those who would trust in Him for their salvation as the payment for the penalty deserved.
