Though evil has ruled over mankind as a result of sin, God has also promised a Deliverer to restore mankind to life and happiness. But, though God supplied many clues to His Plan, they remained obscure and mysterious for thousands of years.When Adam and Eve were cast out of the Garden of Eden, God promised that the seed of the woman would (fatally) “bruise” the serpent's head (Genesis 3:15).
Nearly two thousand years rolled by with no evidence of any fulfillment.Then God called Abraham and promised him, “In thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed” (Genesis 22:17,18). But Abraham's heir Isaac died—and then Isaac's son Jacob died. However, after Jacob's death, his descendants, the “twelve tribes of Israel,” were called to be a “holy” and “chosen” people, “above all the nations that are upon the earth” (Genesis 49:28; Deuteronomy 14:2; 1 Chronicles 16:16,17).
