HAVE FAITH IN GOD'S PROPHETIC WORD!

"We have the prophetic word made more sure." -2 PETER 1:19.

JEHOVAH was the Source of the first prophecy ever recorded. After Adam and Eve sinned, God told the serpent:  "I shall put enmity between your seed and her seed.  He will bruise you in the head and  you will bruise him in the heel." )(Genesis 3:1-7, 14, 15) Centuries would pass before those prophetic words were fully understood.

That first prophecy held out real hope for sinful mankind. The Scriptures later identified Satan the Devil as "the original serpent." (Revelation 12:9) But who would be God's Promised Seed?
