[Mr. Silverback]

Look in Genesis 3. God describes the woman’s son (Jesus) crushing the head of the serpent.

Thank you.

Not only the woman's son, the word used is "offspring".

Genesis
Chapter 315

³ I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; He will strike at your head, while you strike at his heel."

 

 

³ [15] He will strike . . . at his heel: since the antecedent for he and his is the collective noun offspring, i.e., all the descendants of the woman, a more exact rendering of the sacred writer's words would be, "They will strike . . . at their heels." However, later theology saw in this passage more than unending hostility between snakes and men. The serpent was regarded as the devil (Wisdom 2:24; John 8:44; Rev 12:9; 20:2), whose eventual defeat seems implied in the contrast between head and heel. Because "the Son of God appeared that he might destroy the works of the devil" (1 John 3:8), the passage can be understood as the first promise of a Redeemer for fallen mankind. The woman's offspring then is primarily Jesus Christ.
