When sin first enters the world, God promises a saviour -- the Messiah -- to resolve the problem of sin and reconcile people with God
Genesis 3:15 presents the claim: When sin first enters the world, God promises a saviour -- the Messiah -- to resolve the problem of sin and reconcile people with God. The supplied fulfilment references are Galatians 4:4-5; Matthew 1:18. Viz.Bible provides contextual event/person/place links for the cited references. These support research context but do not by themselves establish the fulfilment claim.

Research sources & provenance (2)
Sources are recorded to show where a claim came from and to distinguish source authority from the Explorer's own editorial judgment. A source rating is not a claim of infallibility, and a respected Christian source may still contain interpretation-specific conclusions.

Provenance
The 374-record Master Review dataset is associated with this research work as its principal bibliographic provenance.
Methodology / framework
Used as a secondary research framework for identifying and classifying biblical prophecy claims. Scripture references and editorial classifications remain part of the Explorer review process.
Boundaries / limitations
This source is supporting research, not an infallibility claim. Individual interpretations and fulfilment classifications remain subject to independent Scripture-based review.
Viz.Bible research context (5)
These are exact Scripture-reference context matches from the retained Viz.Bible dataset. They are research context only and are not automatically treated as fulfilment relationships.
