Trampling the Serpent
Type of Event: Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon
Date Recorded: December 22, 2019
Location: Westville, RSA
Topics: Christmas
There are prophecies of the Lord’s coming scattered throughout the Old Testament. Many of these are well known: “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given…” for example. But the first prophecy of the Lord’s coming is much more obscure and less well known. It is spoken by Jehovah to the serpent in the Garden of Eden:
I will put enmity
Between you and the woman,
And between your seed and her Seed;
He shall trample your head,
And you shall batter His heel.
Not your usual Christmas cheer perhaps, but this prophecy describes the purpose of the Lord’s coming: to confront the selfishness that rises like a serpent within each of us and trample it down until we can be saved from it.
