In the beginning, at the garden of Eden, when Satan deceived Eve, Adam and Eve disobeyed God and have committed sin. So, God cursed Satan, Adam, and Eve. In "Genesis 3:15 God tells Satan, ... I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel." It is the curse that God gave to Satan. It has two functions; one is to Satan and the next is to the Seed of the woman. Seed of the woman is born of a virgin, and he was the man Jesus. Satan was to "bruise his heel," and Jesus must 'bruise' his head. Satan killed the man Jesus on a wooden cross and bruised his heel. The first part of the curse is fulfilled. The cross that killed Jesus was a weapon of Satan, and so the wooden cross is not the cross of Jesus Christ; but it was the cross of Satan. It is strange and weird that Christians love, adore, and even worship the cross, instead of hating the cross that killed their Lord and Master. But, it is proof that God has given the churches to Satan to receive the worship of Christians as in 2 Thessalonians 2:3&4, {"3 ..., and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God."} and Satan shows it by raising the cross as his victory flag and is raising it in all over the churches, and God allows it also. So, Satan not only deceive Christians, but he is making a fool out of them.
But God raised him to life, lifted him to heaven, made him Lord, Christ, begotten Son, and God again, as he was God before. Now, he is God Almighty, and Satan could not prevent any of these; that is, Satan could bruise only his heel, but not his head. And the next portion of the curse was that "it shall bruise thy head." That is, Jesus Christ must bruise the head of Satan. His head represents him, and his works, including his followers, both angels and people; all included. Jesus Christ bruises his head in a few steps, and so, it is a continues process. He began this as soon as he was crucified. Satan was expelled from heaven to earth immediately. On the earth, Jesus Christ is destroying the works of Satan systematically by his power and Spirit, and Jesus calls this operation as the 'Cross of Christ', and he uses his people also. In the future, Satan will be bound in chains and will be shut in the bottomless pit for one thousand years by an angel. Then Satan will be released from there and will be cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, to be tormented day and night for ever and ever. Further, Jesus Christ will gather all, who are with Satan, being evil and disobedient, and throw them all also in the lake of fire with him. And so, Satan and his crew, all will be destroyed in its entirety forever; that is, Jesus "shall bruise the head" of Satan. So, it will be also fulfilled.
Jesus told a few very important things to Nicodemus; in that Jesus told him about his future crucifixion also. In "John 3:14 Jesus says, ... as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:" The reference is in Numbers 21:5-9. {" 5 And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loatheth this light bread. 6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died. 7 Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray unto the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people. 8 And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live. 9 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived."} What happened was, People grumbled against Moses and God. Verse 6 says, God punished them by sending "fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died." So, the people came to Moses and cried out. God told in verse 8, to raise a serpent upon a pole, and verse 9, says Moses raised a serpent of brass, and those who got bitten by serpents, if they looked upon the serpent on the pole, they have lived. This represents the crucified Jesus in the new testament. It is also important to know the follow-up of the incident. After the event, people started to burn incense and worshipped the serpent and the pole. So, God sent King Hezekiah to destroy the pole and the serpent. That is in 2 Kings 18:3-5. {" 3 And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that David his father did. 4 He removed the high places, and brake the images, and cut down the groves, and brake in pieces the brazen serpent that Moses had made: for unto those days the children of Israel did burn incense to it: and he called it Nehushtan. 5 He trusted in the LORD God of Israel; so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor any that were before him.:"} King Hezekiah destroyed the entire groves and broke the brazen serpent in pieces. Verse 3&5 says that God applauded king Hezekiah as the best king ever, and he was like king David.
Please note that Christians keep the cross and the crucifix in our churches to worship. But God destroyed both of them in the Old. Most Catholics, orthodox, and such churches, burn incents to the cross and to the crucifix of Jesus. Others may not burn incents, yet they have put up the cross in their churches, and on the steeple on their churches also. If we follow the will of God, we must destroy all the images of the cross from churches. Further it is the cross of Satan, by which Satan killed Jesus. We are foolish and ignorant to reverence and even worship the cross. It is Satan worship, and it is shame.
Preachers say that Jesus loved sinners so much and so, he embraced the cross with love. It is a lie of the devil. Please read Matthew 26:36-44. {"36 Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder. 37 And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy. 38 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me. 39 And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. 40 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour? 41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. 42 He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done. 43 And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy. 44 And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words."} It was just before his crucifixion. Jesus says in "37 he began to be sorrowful and very heavy. 38 My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: 39 Jesus fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: ... 42 He went away again the second time, and prayed, ... 44 ..., and prayed the third time, saying the same words." Jesus was scared and was afraid of the cross, and he tried his best to escape the cross, he begged God the Father to remove the cross from him three times repeatedly, then he had to submit because there was no other option given to him. And the cross killed him mercilessly. This cross was the murder weapon of the Romans, the Jews forced Pilate to use it, Satan was behind it all, and so, the cross was the cross of Satan. Let us see a few things behind the screen. 1) God has made Satan as God to the world and churches and allowed him to show himself as God. That is, God himself made it easy for Satan to deceive the flimsy Christians. To study the details, please look at these links: "Obey God", & "Overcome". 2) Do Christians adore and praise Judas Iscariot, who sold Jesus for 30 coins? They will not, why, since Christians do not see any profit in the story of Judas Iscariot. 3) Christians are like a Son, who loves the killer of his own father, since he gets a huge sum from his father’s insurance. Christians love Satan and his cross since they get inheritance in heaven by the death of Jesus, and their salvation is free. And so they will have freedom to keep sinning until they die. This is the true reason why Christians love, adore, and even worship the cross that killed our Lord Jesus.
Christians ignorantly think that the wooden cross that Jesus was killed is the cross of Christ. No, that is the cross of Satan. After Jesus died, God raised him, made him Lord, Christ, begotten Son, and High Priest; and now he is God Almighty. "Revelation 12:5 says, And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne." As God, he is seated on the throne of God in heaven. As he was seated of his throne, Jesus Christ, as God, told the archangel Michael to cast Satan and his battalion out of heaven permanently not to enter again. It is in Revelation 12:7-10. {"7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, 8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. 9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. 10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night."} The first blow was given to Satan. He lost access to heaven, and he cannot even talk to God anymore. It will continue until Satan and the entire embodiment of evil, will be destroyed in hell and in the lake of fire. This will be the fulfillment of the curse of God, "it shall bruise thy head." This operation or the power of Jesus Christ, is referred to as the Cross of Christ in the new testament.
"1 Corinthians 1:17 For Christ sent me ... to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect." Here, apostle Paul says that the cross of Christ must be preached without the wisdom of words, which is theology and the interpretation of preachers. "18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God." The preaching of the cross of Christ, is the power of God that will save sinners from their sins and will take them to heaven; but foolish people will not trust the power and they will perish.
"Galatians 6:12 says, As many as desire to make a fair show in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ." That is, in order to escape persecution, because of the "Cross of Christ" they give circumcision. So, power to stand refusing to be part of the religion is called "Cross of Christ." So it is not to be crucified on the wooden cross, but to stand opposing priesthood with the power of God. If we stand with the power of God to resist the ordinances and ceremonies which is the glamour of churches, then persecution come. Verse 14 says, "But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world." Please note this: it is not the cross that Jesus died; but it is the Spirit Cross, which is the Power of God. By this Cross, the apostle is dead, that is he has nothing to do with the world, and the world has nothing to do with the apostle. The power to stand apart from the world that is given by God is, the 'Cross of Christ'.
Please read
Philippians 3:17-20.
{"17
Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us
for an ensample. 18
(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and
now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
19 Whose
end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame,
who mind earthly things.) 20
For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also
we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:"}We have two groups of
preachers. Apostle tells people to follow him because they are for
the cross of Christ, but others are enemies of
the Cross of Christ. And says, that the enemies of
the Cross of Christ are those who work for salary and remunerations, and preach for
the worldly blessings, and such. But the true preachers will preach about how we
can inherit the kingdom of God in heaven, but not to obtain the worldly things. So, the Cross
of Christ is Spirit and the power of God. The
preachers who are of the cross of Christ, will not work for money and will not
preach the things of the world,

Matthew 28:20, & Mark 16:15. Jesus Christ preached his commandments to obey, as his Gospel; it is the true Gospel to inherit Eternal life. Genesis 3:1-4 & 2 Corinthians 11:2-4. But Preachers, who are Serpents of Satan, preach the life of man Jesus just to believe, but not to live as a chaste virgin, as the gospel; it is another gospel, which cannot and will not give Eternal life.
The true gospel will convert evil people to do good and thereby they will inherit the kingdom in heaven.
John 3:19-21 say that people are two kinds, evil and true. Evil doers will not come to the Light, who is God; but people of truth come to God for their deeds to be made manifest. We have good and evil people by our standard of our society or culture. These evil people may be converted to be doers of truth by the power of God, and they may inherit the kingdom of God in heaven.
