  • I AM the resurrection and the life: Introduction

    After Adam’s fall, his dominion over the earth was forfeited to Satan—the serpent of lies. Soon thereafter, God’s sure promise was given, “And I [The Lord God] will put enmity between you [Satan] and the woman [kingdom of God], and between your offspring and hers; he [the Christ child] will crush your head, and you will strike his heel”…

    A commonly held belief among many Christians today is that the woman in John’s vision of Revelation 12 represents the Christian Church (God’s people) and that the moon under her feet, is symbolic of the old covenant which was done away with at Christ’s death.
