The Twofold Curse
The Twofold Curse Genesis 3:15 Excerpt Each curse was twofold. The serpent was directly cursed; it received a physical curse and the promise that it would ultimately be crushed by the seed of the woman ( 3:15 ). God promised that he would execute his rule through the seed of the woman and Christ came as a fulfillment of that promise. The victory of Christ was a direct crushing of Satan in fulfillment of this curse, for Satan was behind the serpent in Eden ( Rom. 16:20 ; Rev. 12:9 ; 20:2 ). More Hughes, Robert B., and J.
