In Genesis, there is a foreshadowing of a coming savior when God promises that man will crush the head of the serpent. This promise, referred to as the Protoevangelium or the first gospel, is found in Genesis 3:15 where God addresses the serpent who had just deceived Adam and Eve. God says, "And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel." This promise is seen as a prophecy of the coming of Jesus Christ who would ultimately defeat Satan and redeem humanity.
