What is the very first prophecy in the Bible?

Answer 1

It is found at Genesis 3:15. To appreciate its significance, consider the various elements of the prophecy itself. The one addressed at Genesis 3:15 is the Serpent—not the lowly snake but the one who used it. (Revelation 12:9) “The woman” is not Eve but Jehovah’s heavenly organization, the mother of his spirit-anointed servants on earth. (Galatians 4:26) The Serpent’s “seed,” is Satan’s seed, his offspring—demons and humans as well as human organizations that manifest the traits of Satan and that show enmity toward the “seed” of the woman. (John 15:19; 17:15) The woman’s “seed” is primarily Jesus Christ, who was anointed with holy spirit in 29 C.E. The 144,000, who are “born again . . . from water and spirit” and who are heirs of the heavenly Kingdom with Christ, are a subsidiary part of that seed of promise. These began to be added to the woman’s seed from Pentecost 33 C.E. onward.—John 3:3, 5; Galatians 3:16, 29.
The literal serpent in Eden was used as a mouthpiece by the one whose deceit led to mankind’s loss of Paradise. Genesis 3:15 pointed forward to the time when the one who manipulated that serpent will be crushed. Then the way will again be open for human servants of God to inhabit Paradise, free from sin and death. What a joyful time that will be!—Revelation 20:1-3; 21:1-5.

Answer 2

Genesis 3:15

The Messiah would be the "seed of of a woman" come to destroy the work of the Devil. Not long after Creation, God 'prophecied' to the serpent Satan, "And I will put enmity between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel" (Genesis 3:15). The implication was that Eve's descendant would undo the damage that Satan had caused.

The "seed of the woman" can only be an allusion to a future descendant of Eve who would have no human father. Biologically, a woman produces no seed, and except in this case Biblical usage always speaks only of the seed of men. This promised Seed would, therefore, have to be miraculously implanted in the womb. In this way, He would not inherit the sin nature which would disqualify every son of Adam from becoming a Savior from sin. This prophecy thus clearly anticipates the future virgin birth of Christ.

Satan will inflict a painful wound on the woman's Seed, but Christ in turn will inflict a mortal wound on the Serpent, crushing his head. This prophecy was fulfilled in the first instance at the cross, but will culminate when the triumphant Christ casts Satan into the lake of fire (Revelation 20:10).

Answer 3

The first messianic prophecy is Genesis 3:15

Answer 4

Genesis 3:14-16

Answer 5

Maybe when God said not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil because if Adam and Eve did then they would "surely die". Another early prophecy is Genesis 3:15.

Answer 6

Gensis 3 verse 15

Answer 7

it depends on what you DEFINE as prophecy.

prophecy is not soothsaying or divining the word of God. nor is it futuretelling, or predicting the future. yet many people believe this is what prophecy is.

in its simplest form prophecy is Speaking for God when God actually speaks with His lips to his chosen prophet. if what God says included something that will happen in the future than it can be such.
The first commandment in the bible is to Marry and be fruitful and multiply. it was commanded to Adam and EVE even while Eve was called His wife. So when Adam taught ABLE, the words of God it became the prophecy and ultimately the promise of the coming messiah. was also given, SEEING that ABLE was called the first prophet.

Answer 8

It kind of depends on what you mean by prophecy. God told Noah to build an ark, because He was going to release a flood. There was indeed a flood, so that's prophecy that came true, and the first one, I think.

Answer 9

15 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."
Genesis 3:15

This was the 1st prophecy about Jesus.

Answer 10

In the beginning. Which really meant in the beginning of the Jewish genealogy of the blood line from Adam to Jesus.

It was a prophesy that it would later be misinterpreted as in the beginning of the Universe.
