But the message of the coming Savior actually appears much earlier in Scripture. The first announcement of the birth of the Lord Jesus in the Bible was spoken in the Garden of Eden.<\/p><p data-start=\"601\" data-end=\"1151\">When sin entered the world through \u201cone man\u2019s disobedience,\u201d and \u201cdeath through sin,\u201d and thus \u201cdeath spread to all men, because all sinned\u201d (Romans 5:12), none of this took God by surprise. In fact, He had the plan of salvation prepared before the foundation of the world. Yet as soon as sin entered\u2014placing mankind at a distance from God\u2014He made a promise. This promise appears in our verse, declaring both the suffering of Christ on the cross (\u201cyou shall bruise His heel\u201d) and His ultimate victory over Satan (\u201cHe shall bruise [crush] your head\u201d).<\/p><p data-start=\"1153\" data-end=\"1651\">This promise is woven throughout Scripture. Galatians 3:16 tells us, \u201cNow to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He does not say, \u2018And to seeds,\u2019 as of many, but as of one, \u2018And to your Seed,\u2019 who is Christ.\u201d This promise was given again through Isaiah: <em data-start=\"1416\" data-end=\"1552\">\u201cTherefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel.\u201d<\/em> (Isaiah 7:14). The name <em data-start=\"1577\" data-end=\"1587\">Immanuel<\/em> comes from the Hebrew words <em data-start=\"1616\" data-end=\"1627\">Immanu-El<\/em>, meaning \u201cGod with us.\u201d<\/p><p data-start=\"1653\" data-end=\"1948\">This promise even included the very place where the Savior would be born: <em data-start=\"1729\" data-end=\"1936\">\u201cBut you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, who are too little to be among the clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for Me One who is to be Ruler in Israel, whose coming forth is from of old, from ancient days.\u201d<\/em> (Micah 5:2)<\/p><p data-start=\"1950\" data-end=\"2250\">Our verse reminds us that the coming Christ would crush Satan\u2014and this is exactly what happened at Calvary, when the Lord Jesus destroyed \u201chim who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and [released] those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage\u201d (Hebrews 2:14\u201315).<\/p><p data-start=\"2252\"
