Happy Kislev! Kislev, the ninth Hebrew month, is traditionally known as the "month of dreams." It's biblically associated with supernatural activity including prophetic dreams, messianic prophecies, angelic visitations, and spiritual warfare.

In this episode, I discuss the supernatural beings that show up in Genesis 3, inspired by a work of art, 'Virgin Mary Consoles Eve" (crayon and pencil by Sr. Grace Remington, OCSO, copyright 2005, Sisters of the Mississippi Abbey), depicting the fulfillment of the Genesis 3:15 seed prophecy.
