2. Genesis 3:14 The LORD God said to the
serpent, “Because you have done
this, cursed are you above all
livestock and above all beasts of the
field; on your belly you shall go, and

life. 15 I will put enmity between you
and the woman, and between your
offspring and her offspring; he shall
bruise your head, and you shall
bruise his heel.”

and in you all the families of the earth
shall be blessed.”

earth be blessed, because you have
obeyed my voice.”

star shall come out of Jacob, and a
scepter shall rise out of Israel; it shall
crush the forehead of Moab and
break down all the sons of Sheth.

establish the throne of his kingdom forever… 16
And your house and your kingdom shall be made
sure forever before me. Your throne shall be
established forever.’ ”
17. Isaiah 7:13 And he said, “Hear then, O
house of David! Is it too little for you
to weary men, that you weary my
God also? 14 Therefore the Lord
himself will give you a sign. Behold,
the virgin shall conceive and bear a
son, and shall call his name
Immanuel.
18. Matthew 1:20 b “Joseph, son of David, do
not fear to take Mary as your wife, for
that which is conceived in her is from the
Holy Spirit. 21 She will bear a son, and
you shall call his name Jesus, for He will
save his people from their sins.” 22 All
this took place to fulfill what the Lord
had spoken by the prophet: 23 “Behold,
the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,
and they shall call his name Immanuel”

death were subject to lifelong
slavery.

down, that ancient serpent, who is called the
devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole

heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now the
salvation and the power and the kingdom of our
God and the authority of his Christ have come,
for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown
down, who accuses them day and night before
our God.
