Cary Cox, from Genesis 4:1-16 (Genesis Study 14). God’s promise to send a serpent-crushing offspring through the woman is traced in the tragic account of Cain and Abel. We can look at the entire Bible through the lens of the two family lines. God’s promise runs straight to Jesus Christ, through the family of the woman. And all along the way, the serpent’s offspring – people in rebellion against God – persecute and oppose the people who belong to the Lord.
