The Spirit Realm Part IV: The Seed War

Ok y'all, buckle up. If you've been intrigued by the content in this mini-series thus far (which is the overwhelming majority) then get ready to go even deeper with us today. So far, we've taken a look at the first rebellion which happened in the Garden of Eden, but now we are going to examine the second rebellion, which we are calling "The Seed War" because of the prophecy God proclaimed to satan after Adam and Eve ate from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, and fell into sin. Among other judgements, God told the serpent, "I will put enmity between your seed and the woman's seed. You will bruise his heel, but he will crush your head," (Gen. 3:15). Did you catch that? Who's seed will have their head crushed? The serpent. You mean the devil will have offspring? It would appear this is the case when one takes the Scriptures seriously and at what it says. So if you're the serpent receiving that prophecy, what would you do in order to prevent the seed of the woman from crushing your head? You'd try to wipe out the seed who comes from Eve, right? Well, after Adam and Eve are driven out of the Garden, their sons Cain and Abel are born. It's logical to believe that the devil used/influenced Cain (the ungoldy) to kill his brother, Abel (the godly). This would accomplish the devil's plan of preventing his head being crushed--or so he thought. With Abel killed and Cain having blood on his hands, Adam and Eve have another son (Seth) and the promise God made is preserved through the line of Seth. But that doesn't mean Satan and his fallen angels don't stop trying to wipe out the seed of the woman. This is where we pick up today's discussion surrounding the events that took place leading up to the flood of Noah. We are so glad you're here!
