The story is basically a reference to Marduk and his slaying of Tiamat, (the serpent). He crushed her head with his heel, chopped her up and turned the pieces into the earth. The 'seed of a woman' was Marduk, (Tiamat was the mother god). The biblical writers got their "idea" from older Babylonian stories.
There you go.
The evil seed of the "serpent"......
It's descendants came through Cain.
The "older" stories are lies that are straightened out by the Scriptures, through prophetic revelation.
The "seed" of the woman is Jesus Christ.....the "good" seed in the field.
Marduk was a false Babylonian god.
He was the chief deity of the Babylonians in the time of Nebuchadnezzar.
"They" didn't slay anything, they invented the false Gods they worshiped and spread this belief around the world like a virus.
They were the first to use false religious belief in God as a motivational tool for war.
The virgin birth of a Saviour predates the Bible because it is the most important event to transpire for the entire history of the Earth.
Every prophet of God saw His coming in visions and wrote of it....since the days of Abel in the garden of Eden.
The Babylonians were of the evil seed of the Serpent and were the enemies of God, creating lies close enough to the truth to deceive all mankind by.
It is the ancient seat of the devil.
It was Babylon that first turned men from belief in the one God, the God of Noah, and Abraham, into a belief in many gods....Paganism.
In Egypt there was the same combination of mother and son called Isis and Osiris.
In India it was Isi and Iswara. (Note the similarity of names even.)
In Asia it was Cybele and Deoius.
In Rome and in Greece it followed suit.
And in China. Well, imagine the surprise of some Roman Catholic missionaries as they entered China and found there a Madonna and Child with rays of light emanating from the head of the babe. The image could well have been exchanged for one in the Vatican except for the difference of certain facial features.
It now behooves us to discover the original mother and child.
The original goddess-mother of Babylon was Semiramis who was called Rhea in the eastern countries. In her arms she held a son, who though a babe, was described as tall, strong, handsome and especially captivating to the women.
In Ezekiel 8:14 he was called Tammuz.
Amongst classical writers he was called Bacchus.
To the Babylonians he was Ninus.
What accounts for the fact that he is represented as a babe in arms and yet described as a great and mighty man is that he is known as the "Husband-Son".
One of his titles was "Husband of the Mother", and in India where the two are known as Iswara and Isi, he (the husband) is represented as the babe at the breast of his own wife.
That this Ninus is the Nimrod of the Bible we can affirm by comparing history with the Genesis account.
Pompeius said, "Ninus, king of Assyria, changed the ancient moderate ways of life by the desire for conquest.
HE WAS THE FIRST WHO CARRIED WAR AGAINST HIS NEIGHBORS.
Here is the two seeds.
MATTHEW 13:24-43
