If not the Christ, then what are you saying that Genesis 3:15 is talking about...?

Love Love Love:
The Universal Father:
First and last—eternally—the infinite God is a Father. God is a Father in the highest possible sense of that term. He is eternally motivated by the perfect idealism of divine love and tender nature that finds its strongest expression and greatest satisfaction in loving and being loved.
Selflessness is inherent in parental love. God loves not like a father but as a father.
The First Father is universal spirit, eternal truth, infinite reality, and father personality—a transcendent reality. But God is even more. He is a saving person and a loving Father to all who enjoy spiritual peace on Earth, and who crave to experience personality survival in death.
The existence of God is utterly beyond all possibility of demonstration, except for the God-consciousness of the human mind and the presence of the God-Spirit that indwells the mortal intellect—and is bestowed as the free gift of the Universal Father. It is not there by right of possession, but it is designed to be so for all those who choose to survive the mortal existence.
Faith Faith Faith.

Sorry Guys. I am really trying to get at this. I am just really busy right now. The founder of my firm announced, last week, that he is shuting down operations in a little over a year and retiring. He deserves it; been working for 50+ years now and it's now time for him to enjoy the wealth he has built up. He has more money than he could spend and his health has been ailling in the last couple of years.
I already had an exisisting offer as a partner at the firm my father and two colleagues started up a couple of months ago but the prospects of working with my hot head father again in this life time just was not very appealing at the time. One of my father's partners really wants my protege. Kind of a long story but my father and he (same partner) have been sort of like serogate fathers to him since his father passed while we were in Jr. High (they were all military officers together that served at various postings at the same time). Kind of the unsaid thing was that he was going to leave when he got his GenCert and go to their firm.
This coupled with a trainee screwing the pooch on some work in Panama City and having my daughter full time with my wife back in class it has left me with little time to say grace much less screw around on the net as I am accustom to doing most of the day. :(
Poptart, to answer your question. If I recall correctly, and I may not be because I haven't had time to look into it or even google the entire verses surrounding it for any context, but if memory serves it was reffering to the first two points you made bout enmity between Satan and Eve's seed but nothing to do with a messianic prophecy.
Early I stated the prophets who made prophecies concerning the Messiah and I believe that I left Micah and possibly Isaiah off. My bad.
Keep on my ass about this...
