Episode 456 – The First Announcement of the Gospel

Luke21 - Catholic Biblical Prophecy

In this episode of Luke21, Steve Wood explores the profound significance of Genesis 3:15, the "Protoevangelium"—the first announcement of the Gospel. He examines how this verse lays the foundation for the entire Bible’s story of redemption, pointing to the ultimate defeat of Satan through the “Seed” of the woman. Through biblical examples like David and Goliath, Jael and Judith, and the crucifixion of Jesus, Steve illustrates the recurring theme of head-crushing victory. This episode highlights how Genesis 3:15 unfolds across the Old and New Testaments, culminating in the victory of Christ and his Church. Tune in to deepen your understanding of biblical prophecy and redemption.
