Cursed Ground and Coming Seed: Genesis 3:14-24
Cinematic retelling of the curses and the first gospel promise
This is vivid retellings.
So the LORD God said to the serpent: "Because you have done this, cursed are you above all livestock and all wild animals! You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life."
The serpent—once perhaps the most cunning of creatures—was cursed to the lowest. Crawling in the dust, despised among animals. The sentence was permanent.
But then came the first gospel, buried in a curse:
"And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel."
