2. DRAMA OF THE AGES FLY THROUGH HISTORY WITH THE ANCIENT BOOK 6. A WAY OUT IS OFFERED

3. Finally they answered the call and in response to God asking them what they had done, they blamed each other and indirectly blamed God as well.

4. Adam, who before he sinned thought he loved Eve more than life itself, now blamed her, and she blamed the serpent and God for creating the serpent.

5. Solemnly God pronounced a curse on the serpent, from then on it would crawl legless upon the earth.

6. But in the curse there was a cryptic prophecy. The very first Messianic promise.

7. "And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel." Genesis 3:15

8. Now why didn't they die on the spot? Because the mysterious plan of Salvation, a secret known only to the Godhead, was immediately implemented.

9. The plan was that the Creator Himself would be the surety for the fallen race.

10. As soon as there was sin, there was a Savior! He was the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

11. The Creator was now on death row so they could have a second chance to choose to obey.

12. Someday the Creator would be born as a child of a woman. He would live a life of perfect obedience, then die as a law breaker.

13. He would be the seed of the woman that would crush the serpent's head.

14. Anyone who chose to accept the provision could be forgiven of their past sins, and chose to return to perfect allegiance through the Divine power made available.

15. God gave an object lesson to help them understand.
