Wells of Living Water Commentary - Genesis 3:14-19

The Curse and the Cure Genesis 3:14-19 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. We have for today a curse without a cure. When God spoke to the serpent He pronounced a curse upon him, which neither in the Garden, nor subsequently throughout the Bible, has any promised cure. We read of the deliverance of other beasts of the field, and then comes this solemn statement, "And dust shall be the serpent's meat." From its proud and lofty height the serpent, the most subtle of all the beasts of the field, was cursed... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 3:15

THE EARLIEST GOSPEL‘I will put enmity between thee and the woman,’ etc. Genesis 3:15 I. The first time Prophecy opened her lips, it was to pronounce these words. To our first parents they were full of hope and consolation. In some mysterious way their loss was to be repaired; a Deliverer was to be provided. This promise was all their Bible. What, in truth, is all the rest of Scripture but the development of this great primeval promise of a Redeemer? II. Never for an instant was this... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 3:1-24

Man’s Establishment and Fall (Genesis 2:4 to Genesis 3:24 ) TABLET II. Genesis 2:0 and Genesis 3:0 form a unit distinguished by the fact that God is called Yahweh Elohim (Lord God), a usage repeated, and constantly used, all the way through (apart from in the conversation between Eve and the serpent), a phrase which occurs elsewhere in the Pentateuch only once, in Exodus 9:30 where it is connected with the thought that the earth is Yahweh’s. It thus connects with creation. This distinctive... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 3:14-15

‘And the Lord God said to the snake, “Because you have done this, cursed are you beyond all cattle, and beyond all wild animals. On your belly you will go, and dust will you eat all the days of your life. And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed. He will bruise your head, and you will bruise his heel.” ’ Did the author really think that the snake had once had legs, which were now removed? Of course not. Otherwise what about the harmless worm? That too... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 3:1-24

Genesis 3:1-Jeremiah : . Among the animals formed by Yahweh, in His first attempt to provide man with a companion, was the serpent; at that time either a quadruped or holding itself erect. It was eminent among its fellows for cleverness. In antiquity serpents were often regarded as mysteriously gifted with wisdom or cunning, sometimes as good but more often as evil. It is a mistake to think of it here as an incarnation of the devil; the ability to speak and reason is quite commonly... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Genesis 3:15

Vers. 15. Though now ye be sworn friends, leagued together against me, I will put enmity between thee and the woman; and the man too, but the woman alone is mentioned, for the devil’s greater confusion. 1. The woman, whom, as the weaker vessel, thou didst seduce, shall be the great occasion of thy overthrow. 2. Because the Son of God, who conquered this great dragon and old serpent, Revelation 12:9, who came to destroy the works of the devil, 1 John 3:8, was made of a woman, Galatians 4:4,... read more

MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH.—Genesis 3:13-21THE GENERAL RESULTS OF THE FALL OF OUR FIRST PARENTSI. The result of the fall of our first parents is an eternal enmity between Satan and humanity. “And the Lord God said unto the serpent, because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field: upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life; and I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Genesis 3:1-24

Genesis 3:0 Consider: (1) some of the consequences, and (2) some of the corroborative proofs of the fall. I. Beside and behind the outward consequences, there were inward results far more terrible. A disease had appeared on earth of the most frightful and inveterate kind. This disease was (1) a moral disease. The grand disease of sin combines all the evil qualities of bodily distempers in a figurative yet real form, and turns not the body, but the soul, into a mass of malady. (2) The disease is... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Genesis 3:14-15

Genesis 3:14-15 Several important difficulties suggest themselves in the text. I. The scientific difficulty. The serpent really bears no trace of degradation; its structure is as beautifully adapted to its place in nature as that of the lion or the eagle. Neither can it be said to eat dust: its food consists of the small animals which are its prey. II. The moral objection. Why was the serpent punished for what he did not do? Shall God visit the craft of the devil on his helpless and unconscious... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Genesis 3:15

Genesis 3:15 I. The first intention of the work of Christ upon this earth is a declaration of war: His warfare and our warfare; the warfare of persons and the warfare of "seeds"; of the two great principles of good and evil. II. Christ did bruise and crush the serpent's head his strength, his being, his whole vitality. He fought alone in each great single combat. When the cross was reared against the power of the arch-enemy the crushing was complete; and when He, Conqueror over the conquered... read more
