The first messianic prophecy:
"And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring a and hers; he will CRUSH YOUR HEAD and you will [merely] strike his heel.” (Genesis 3:15 NIV)
and break down all the sons of Sheth." (Numbers 24:17 ESV)
Moses said when God comes, Israel will be saved and tread on her enemies:
Happy are you, O Israel! Who is like you?
A people saved by YHVH,
the shield of your help, the sword of your triumph!
Your enemies will come fawning to you,
and you'll TREAD UPON THEIR BACKS" (Dt 33:29)
Deborah also sang of God coming, and His victory over Sisera, commander of the Canaanites. She celebrated Jael, who:
"...struck Sisera;
she CRUSHED HIS HEAD;
she shattered and pierced his temple.
Between her feet
... where he sank,
there he fell—dead." (Jdg 5:26–27)
the hairy crown of him who walks in his guilty ways". (Psalm 68:20–21 ESV)
filling them with corpses..." (Ps 110:5–6 ESV)
for their evil is great." (Joel 3:13)
Selah (Hab 3:13).
"...the sun of righteousness shall rise with healing in its wings. You shall go out leaping like calves from the stall. YOU SHALL TREAD DOWN THE WICKED. They'll be ashes under your feet, on the day I act, says the LORD" (Mal 4:2–3)
"The God of peace will SOON CRUSH SATAN UNDER YOUR FEET. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you." (Romans 16:20).
"he sat down at the right hand of God, waiting from that time UNTIL HIS ENEMIES SHOULD BE MADE A FOOTSTOOL FOR HIS FEET. (Heb 10:12–13).
From his mouth comes a sharp sword to STRIKE DOWN THE NATIONS, and he'll rule them with a rod of iron. He will TREAD THE WINEPRESS OF THE FURY OF THE WRATH OF GOD Almighty. (Rev 19:15–16)
From Genesis to Revelation, Jesus is repeatedly and consistently identified as the One who is COMING to CRUSH His enemies. Jesus is both the Coming One and the Crushing One. Maranatha. -Joel Richardson
