Summary/Abstract: This study focuses on a subject that presents one of the most important promises made by God and recorded in the Book of Genesis 3, 15. The hope of coming of the promised Savior can be observed constantly throughout the life of Biblical Israel, and is seen as a red thread throughout history until He appears to the world as the Son of God Incarnate.Considering the importance of the issue, I acknowledged necessary to enlarge uponthe research, focusing on three objectives: a) The fall into sin and the necessity ofthe Incarnation, b) The era previous to the "fullness of time", c) The soteriological significance of the Incarnation.In the steps taken, we have emphasized that the Mystery of the kenosis is closelyrelated to the mystery of our salvation. The Incarnation of the Savior is the center ofhistory, marks the end of an era and at the same time, the beginning of another. Thefulfillment of the promise of salvation by sending the Son of God in the world is thetemporal center of all other events in the history of salvation.
