Genesis 3:1-24

v. 15: The initial focus of this judgment (on Satan) is on a general hostility between two groups of "offspring" or "seed" (the woman's and the serpent's). This would be the ongoing conflict between those who are righteous and those who are wicked. (See also verse 20.)

Then there is a shift in focus to one specific "offspring" of the woman and to the serpent (Satan) himself. This statement is the first expression of what would eventually be called the "Good News" about Jesus. It is an expression of hope: Ultimate victory belongs not to the Serpent (Satan), but to Christ.
