Genesis Introduction – The Bible Teaching Commentary

Two Lines of People: Godly and Ungodly

"God’s design was perfectly to restore all the ruins of the fall, so far as concerns the elect part of the world, by his Son; and therefore we read of the restitution of all things, Acts 3:21." Jonathan. Edwards, 535

Ungodly seed and line of the serpent.
Genesis 3:15 becomes dividing point of the two kingdoms.
Godly seed and line of Messiah.

"Rabbi Tanchuma said, in the name of Rabbi Samuel: Eve had respect [had regard, looked forward] to that Seed which is to come from another place. And who is this? This is Messiah the King." Edersheim, p. 85.
