Genesis 3:15 - He will be born of a woman

 There is this claim by Christians that Genesis 3:15 contains the messianic claim that the future messiah will be born of a woman.

But not only is there no mention of a noun "messiah" anywhere in the Torah, but that verse is simply nothing more than an etiological story that could be labeled "why are humans and snakes not on friendly terms", as well as the other snake related fables: "Why don't snakes have limbs?", "Why don't snakes talk?", and "Why do snakes shed their skin?". The latter is because the word for "clever", when describing the serpent, is the same word for describing the man and woman as "naked".

There is no "Satan" in the garden seducing the woman, just the talking snake (who had limbs). There is no mention of a Messiah because, well, the very idea of a Messiah as a redeemer of the dominated Jews is post second-temple.

Only through eisegesis, forcing an anachronistic view of the text, can one find a messianic hint.

But it's not there.

In fact, the child was supposed to crush the head of the snake's offspring. And if one wants the snake to be Satan (it isn't), Jesus never defeated him, crushing his head. 

Here's a fun tidbit...

In Genesis 3:13, the woman complained that the snake seduced her. (the Hebrew word can mean to entice, tempt, which is a form of seduction). In Genesis 3:16, after condemning the snake, God tells the woman that pregnancies will always hurt (another etiological story), and that she will be submissive and lust after her dominator. There have been many later myths written about the woman lusting after the snake, thus resulting in his phallus shape, or that the snake impregnated her with Cain. 

But like the idea of a Messiah, none of that is in the Book of Genesis, but is the active imaginations of later storytellers. 

The style of this supposed prophecy is: "non-prophetic, non-messianic, unrelated to Jesus".
