Who is the woman in genesis 3:15?

Question

"I will put enmity between you and the woman between her offspring and yours"

Answer 1

The messianic prophecy fulfilled in Mary, mother of Jesus Christ. The virgin shall give birth and he shall be named Immanuel, meaning 'God with us'.

Jesus overcame the snakes deceptions when tempted like the first Adam. Jesus taught us what to say to the tempter. Jesus was without sin so bore our sins on the cross. Since he was without sin, raised from the dead, for us. We also will defeat death like Jesus did in the day of resurrection., when we are whole again, like the first Adam was before the fall. We will raise up wholly before Jesus; whole in spirit, soul & body standing before Him.

Answer 2

Hmmmm, not sure if you've heard of this, most people don't know. Supposedly there was another woman in the garden, the entire story I get fuzzy on the details. Her name was Lilith, and she was said to be the first wife of Adam, when she refused to submit and bow down to Adam, she fled and Adam got Eve. Lilith felt her and Adam were created equal, tuff woman she was. The legend goes that she created a race of evil among humans. Look her up, very interesting tale. Not saying this is true, but it's a theory many have.

This text was taken out of the Dead Sea Scrolls:
And I, the Sage,
declare the grandeur of his radiance
in order to frighten and terrify
all the spirits of the ravaging angels
and the bastard spirits,
demons, Liliths, owls and [jackals...]
and those who strike unexpectedly
to lead astray the spirit of knowledge....
11QPsAp

Next was taken from the bible:

Isaiah 34:14f
Wildcats shall meet with hyenas,
goat-demons shall call to each other;
there too Lilith shall repose,
and find a place to rest.
There shall the owl nest
and lay and hatch and brood in its shadow

Answer 3

“But the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother.” (Galatians 4:26)

“And a great sign was seen in heaven, a woman arrayed with the sun, and the moon was beneath her feet, and on her head was a crown of twelve stars,” (Revelation 12:1)

Genesis 3:15 was prophetic of God's heavenly organization, "Jerusalem above" producing the seed that would be the Messiah, Jesus, who would become our Savior and ransomer.

Answer 4

The reference is to "womankind". After listing the consequences that were going to come on the woman because of her actions, God then turns around and says he would use woman to defeat the serpent. It refers to the virgin birth of Jesus, that he would be the "offspring" (the actual Hebrew says "seed") of a woman - no man involved. That the "serpent" would "strike the heel" of Jesus - a Hebrew term that means to try to betray and deceive - but that Jesus would instead "crush his head" - a term for "totally defeat and leave powerless".

So it refers to "womankind", and finds its specific fulfillment in the individual woman of the virgin Mary.

Answer 5
