Genesis 3:1 [1] The relationship between Satan and the serpent is not made clear, but Satan is identified with the serpent later in REV 12:9, 14, 15; 20:2. It seems difficult to believe that Eve would not have been suspicious of a talking creature, but at this point in time Eve probably knew next to nothing about animals; and in any case, the serpent, as it existed before the curse (v 14), was a very different creature from the reptile that is familiar to us today.

Genesis 3:15 [5] Many consider this verse the protevangelium, the first announcement of the gospel. This is the first prophecy about the Messiah (Christ), who through His death on the cross and resurrection would ultimately defeat Satan, the power behind the serpent, with a death blow. See ISA 9:6; MAT 1:23; LUK 1:31; ROM 16:20; GAL 4:4; REV 12:17.
