[quote:chauchat:MV80OTIyMzc1XzkwMDQ5ODcxXzgwMzcxRjJE] But this is an example that was fulfilled in the 1st century [and still goes on being fulfilled]- [i] Gen 3:14 Then Jehovah God said to the serpent: “Because you have done this, you are the cursed one out of all the domestic animals and out of all the wild animals of the field. On your belly you will go, and you will eat dust all the days of your life. 15 And I will put enmity between you and the woman[/i] [or "Jerusalem Above", who is like Sarah, "the free woman" -Galatians] [i] and between your offspring and her offspring.[/i][i.e., Jesus Christ, prefigured by, and descended from- Isaac] [i][b] He will crush your head, and you will strike him in the heel.[/b]”[/i] [nail in Jesus' heels, at execution (?)] [i]John 16 33[b]In the world you will have tribulation, but take courage! I have conquered the world.”[/b][/i] On this last night of his earthly life, Jesus could rightly say: “I have conquered the world.” He triumphed over the world by not becoming like it, by not permitting the thinking and actions of unrighteous human society to influence him in any way. [b]By his faith, loyalty, and integrity, Jesus proved that “the ruler of the world,” Satan, had “no hold” on him.[/b] (See study note on Joh 14:30.) Jesus stated in the prayer recorded in John chapter 17 that neither he nor his disciples were part of this world. (Joh 17:15, 16) And when on trial before Pilate, Jesus told that Roman governor: “My Kingdom is no part of this world.” (Joh 18:36) [b] More than 60 years after Jesus’ trial, John was inspired to write: “This is the conquest that has conquered the world, our faith.”[/b]​—1Jo 5:4, 5.

It must be true since a Christian said so.
