All biblical scholars and theologians cite this as an obvious prophecy of Jesus Christ ...
Really? I'll add that to my list of funny things that religious people do, because it is not
obviously anything of the sort. What it
obviously means is that people will step on snakes and snakes will bite people. Do you suppose anyone in the years B.C. ever read that and said to themselves: "Ah, I see. This means that one day God will send his only begotten son to die for the sins of the world"?
Really, if that's your idea of an
obvious prophecy one has to wonder what sort of thing you would think was obscure and recondite.
