An Ancient Prophecy That ffects You - WHO ARE THE CHARACTERS IN THE PROPHECY?

 THE OFFSPRING OF THE SERPENT

Next, let us identify "the woman"  She coild not have been Eve. Why not? Consider just one reason. The prophecy states that th offspring of the woman would "crush" the serpent's head. As we just discussed, the serpent is the spirit creature Satan, anf no imperfect human offspring of Eve's would have the ability to crush him. Something more was needed.

The identity  of the woman mentioned at Genesis 3:15 is revealed in the last book of the Bible. Revelation 12:1, 2, 5, 10.) This is no oedinary woman! She has the moon at her feet and a crown of 12 stars on her head. She gives birth to a most unusual child- the Kingdom od God. The Kingdom is heavenly. She represents th heavenly part of jehovah's organization made up of his faithful spirit creatures. - GALATIANS 4:26.
