He actually did it himself in the book of Genesis. Genesis 3:15 says, And I will put enmity between you and the woman and between your offspring and her offspring. He will crush your head, and you will strike him in the heel." A heel wound can be recovered but a head wound is deadly. Satan wounded Jesus in the heel but very soon Jesus will crush Satan's head destroying him for ever.
The word enmity used in the Bible is the state or feeling of being actively opposed or hostile to someone or something. Genesis 3:15 says, "And I will put enmity(opposition or strife) between you and the woman and between your offspring and her offspring. He will crush your head and you will strike him in the heel."
In Genesis 3:15, after Adam and Eve had listened to the devil, God made this prophecy about the Messiah and his role in righting the wrong: (NIV) "And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel."
To understand the scripture found at Genesis 3:15, there has to be an identification of the players mentioned. Genesis 3:15 says, "And I will put enmity between you and the woman and between your offspring and her offspring. He will crush your head and you will strike him in the heel." Satan the Devil was who God was speaking to, hence the "you" mentioned is Satan. The "woman" is revealed as God's heavenly organization of spirit creatures. Satan would have "offspring" or those opposed to God's spirit directed organization on earth. The offspring of the woman would include Jesus Christ and his loyal followers. Jesus would give a death dealing blow to Satan and his followers by removing them permanently or "crushing his head." Satan would essentially "strike" Jesus in the heel, killing Jesus, but only to have God resurrect him three days later and give him immortality.
