So as they were reading this today, I read also v. 14-16. Now 15 is the basis for the whole theme of the bible essentially for witnesses, I am not sure but other religions must believe the same.
Snake=satan
Woman=Gods organization
Seed=Jesus
If I got that somewhat correct. But when you read 14 for instance, its talking about god judging the snake, not some spirit creature, he's saying the snake is gonna eat dirt etc, then he talks in 15 about bruising in heads and heels and seeds, then 16 talks about how its now gonna hurt like hell when a woman has a baby. So God is basically going person to person saying whats gonna go wrong for them, snake, woman, man and so forth, it reads like the allegory it really is, what I can't fathom is how much meaning was put into verse 15!!!!!! just out of the blue this short nonsense lays out the salvation for mankind??? Why would god need to be covert, and not just say "here is what I am gonna do..." so silly
