How many times have you heard "If I only had a list of what I could do and what I can not do I would be ok?
We had that. It was called the law.
Throughout human history, man has always found some excuse not to do right.
I contend that in the course of human events, GOD is eliminating every possible excuse we would try to have for not serving Him. These are called "dispensations"
the first was "innocence" then we had "conscience" followed by human government, promise, and the Law. I believe we are presently in the dispensation of Grace and this will soon be followed by the Kingdom during which Jesus will rule in person as the King of Kings but people will still sin. (this although satan will be chained for 1,000 years so no one will be able to say "the devil made me do it"
In each of these, every excuse we can use will be rendered null and void thus the only hope for redemption has and will always be a right relationship with GOD through adoption as HIS child. See the link below

Even before the actual creation of men, a message was already voice out by God.. Here are some message of God. in Genesis:
Gen 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
Gen 1:4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
Gen 1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
Gen 1:6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
Gen 1:7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
Gen 1:8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
Gen 1:9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
Gen 1:10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
Gen 1:11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
Gen 1:12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
Gen 1:13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.
Gen 1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:

Exactly! The message came to Eve to ignore the command of satan to leave the fruit alone. Because she listened to the Spirit of truth we can now know the difference between good and evil. This is the same message delivered by Jesus when He said "the kingdom of heaven is within you." The god of the old testament lacks the fruit of the Spirit because he is evil. Jesus never said He was GOD.

It is mentioned in Genesis 3:15. One of the decendents of Eve will crush Satan, but Satan will bite back. This decendent is Jesus who will win the battle by paying for our sins and there by permantely defeating Satan. Although Satan has been defeated he is still trying to draw people away from God by tempting them. Also read Isaih 50 - 51. This is the prophecy of the Messiah.

Because God gave the Jews a chance to live righteously through Moses. The Jews failed. So God promised them a savior from sin, which is Jesus Christ. He is the sacrifice that defeated sin and death.

Good question......
Well the message was given right after Adam.
Genesis 3:15 KJV: And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
The seed of the woman(Jesus) would crush the seed of the devil.
The first Adam fails. Christ the second Adam crushed the devil at the cross, went to hell took the keys and redeemed man. Whoever believes will be saved.

God was revealing his plan to Adam and Eve right after they sinned in the Garden of Eden. This scripture is referring to Jesus defeating Satan.
Genesis 3:15, "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 heal.

God promised a Savior as part of His salvific plan of mercy and that plan being sensible and intelligent had to follow a certain course and period of time,Genesis is pretty clear on this.

Perhaps because humans need the witness of history to understand God's power, our depravity, and His divine mercy.
If I told you I was a millionaire would you believe me? But what if I took you on my yacht and fed you lobster, would you believe me then?
