The Promise of Messiah: Genesis 3:15
I [God] will put enmity [hostility/hatred) between you [serpent/Satan] and the woman [mankind], between your [Satan] seed and her Seed [Messiah/Redeemer]; He [Jesus] shall bruise your [Satan] head, and you shall bruise His [Jesus] heel.

When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting pon Him. And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, this is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. (Matthew 3:15-17)

According to the analogy, people are on a journey. They can only go two directions. One direction is hell. The other direction is heaven. When you are born, you start out facing the direction of hell because of Adam’s sin. When you get ol...
