Another Midrash

Eve tempted Adam to eat from the fruit after being tempted by the Serpent, and God set forth a redemption plan, to have her seed crush the Serpent’s Head, when he bruised the Seed’s heels. That Abraham had a son, Isaac, and was called to sacrifice him, but God stayed His hand, and told Abraham He would provide the sacrifice and that Abraham’s seed would bless all the nations. That Jacob wrestled with God, and prevailed, and received the blessing that the deliverer of the World would come from his seed. That Moses led the Children of Jacob out of Egypt, and into the Wilderness, and then Joshua, his predecessor, conquered the land of Canaan after Moses died. That David, the King of Israel, was issued a decree that he would have a seed that would sit on the Throne of Israel forever. That this Seed is God’s Son, made manifest in the Flesh. That He came and lived a perfect moral example for us to follow, and set down a Law so magnificent, it is superior to 30 sages. That He died and raised from the Dead, and His followers witnessed Him raised from the dead, and died believing it, sometimes unbelievable deaths. That He will return one day, being born of Zion, and be swiftly called up to the clouds, and return with 144,000 saints to slay all the sinners of the world at Armageddon. That He will live and reign on the Earth for 1,000 years, and then defeat Satan and Death in the Battle of Gog and Magog, by consuming the hordes numbered greater than the sands of the Sea with fire. And then He will marry New Jerusalem, which descends from the clouds, and is a city more glorious than we can imagine.
