You have got to be kidding. Jesus is the enmity? You post a diatribe that starts with that nonsense and you expect anyone to read the rest? What absolute and utter nonsense.

Wow. I've never heard THAT one. I would ask for clarification, but I think you're right, CB, why go any further than 'This refers to Jesus (the "emnity")'??

CB ="You have got to be kidding. Jesus is the enmity?"

The Enmity to the Devil? YES! Hello!

en·mi·ty/ˈenmitē/

The state or feeling of being actively opposed or hostile to someone or something.

Synonyms:

hostility - animosity - antagonism

No offense. But reread about the enmity.

Gen. 3:15

And I will put enmity

between you and the woman,

and between your offspring[a] and hers; he will crush[b] your head,

and you will strike his heel.”

- we see from the very beginning that God gives Mary a unique role in salvation history. God says "I will put enmity between you and the woman, between your seed and her seed." This refers to Jesus's seed (the "emnity") and Mary (the "woman"). The phrase "her seed" (spermatos) is not seen elsewhere in Scripture.

This is addressed to the serpent/devil. The seed is Jesus in his role as the messiah of the future. Also showing regain of paradise lost in the future.
