Genesis 3: 14-15 So the LORD God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, "Cursed are you above all the livestock and all the wild animals! ...I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel."

Long, long ago in a land far, far away... the first couple ate forbidden fruit. God carefully explained the string of consequences for this first sin that hurled mankind into a bent towards disobedience.
To the snake Satan used, God hinted at the cross. This is mindboggling. Thousands of years before Jesus Christ's birth (yes, an offspring of Eve), this titanic showdown is alluded to.
During Jesus' lifetime, Satan repetedly tempts him, teases him and eventually crucifies He who is equally Son of God and Son of Man. Satan strikes His heel. He wounds him. He thinks Jesus is snuffed out forever.
Then from the grave, He conquers death. He lives forever. He saves mankind from their sins. Take that, oh you wiley snake, you! Stomp. Crush.
