Hazakim
The Protoevangelium
[Timothy Brindle]
Yea
Genesis 3
Oh Eve had been captured by he who more than every beast
Was so crafty, Adam should have proceeded to smash him
Cuz he was the master over the beast and the cattle
But immediately after in verse 14 and 15 of the chapter
Behold I Am is telling them, the protoevangelium
The first telling of the gospel to redeem man from his hellish sins
They’re exiled cuz they’re sinful, you know they’re banned from fellowship
Though Eden was God’s temple, He’s holy and can’t dwell with them
Like when Yahweh promises, he tells Satan “I will put enmity between your seed and Eve’s
As done by my accomplishment”
And by enmity, this Hebrew noun that means hostility
Between the seed of the women and the serpent’s really filthy seed
Reversing the hostility cuz man is naturally hostile to God
And to turn back, really he has no ability
All of the redemptive histories contained in these few verses
Progressively redemption’s seen, He’s working out this purpose
Listen to the curses that God just made to the serpent
They run and Cain murdered and though spurned Abraham his servant
See the offspring of Eve is Abraham’s offspring
Who’s the offspring of David and Satan He’s conquering
Adam should have crushed the serpent’s head so the second Adam did when cursed instead
He was raised up to reverse the dead
He paid for it all, no accusational will fall
The serpent’s head was crushed on Golgotha, the place of the skull
[Hazakim]:
The fall came and it brought shame
Machiavellian depravity and rebellion
But unto us a child is born
Emmanuel, he shall dwell within the head of the root
The serpent getting crushed by the seed of the woman – protoevangelium!
The fall came and it brought shame (death and whole legion of hellions)
Machiavellian depravity and rebellion
But unto us a child is born
Emmanuel, he shall dwell within the head of the root
The serpent getting crushed by the seed of the woman – protoevangelium!
[Result]
Peep the footage, the redeemer was put in the fleece of a human
Being the seed of the woman
Looking to war, what it took to restore
The Lord was here before he had a foot in the door
Adam minus Lamb was Lion
To conquer man’s conqueror
This man was assigned an
Impossible task for man but captured inside of the passage you find
This man was divine
It’s first in Genesis, curtain’s lifted
A redemptive purpose given when the serpent tempted
And stirred the first person to swerve from innocence
The terms were venomous
Uncertain what he purchased with that birth certificate
The perfect sentence, a verdict ended
With earth that portended a burden, women giving birth with bitterness
But first he would curse the nemesis
To … a reverse to the wickedness
While affirming the church’s deliverance
His word is just when mercy’s given
Infinite word, the Word that’s infant
Cursed in cuffs, serpent crushed and servant bitten
The Lord planned this mission, was sure to grant provision
The Lamb’s aroma scent better than Gordon Ramsey’s kitchen
And this promise given in the garden we see a king
As we leave the scene, we see a promise made to a seed in Galatians 3:16
Shown in Genesis there’s a progress, comprehend this gracious plan
No coincidence in the promise God would give to Abraham
Grace lands on a pagan land and gets this man to have faith
In the Promised Land but it’s the Lamb who gives the Land a salvation
Occupied by those from whom a soul would make an offering
The sentence promised to Abraham but the Lord he gave this offering
Taken from the nations, promised Abraham a sign to come
Wasn’t tongue in cheek, this Son would seek from every tribe and tongue
The point is this language is proclamation
The gospel is explained from creation to consummation
