But my point is about the previous part of the verse. Clearly, there are four beings talked about: Satan and his seed, the woman (Mary) and her Seed (our Lord) -- would you agree with this?
With one caveat. Sometimes, early commentators viewed the woman strictly as Eve. In many ways, it is both since Eve as the Mother of Man had Jesus as her seed, and Mary as the Mother of the Lord had Him as her son.
