The gospel in Genesis.

[Carbon]

Genesis 3:15
I will put enmity between you and the woman,
and between your offspring and her offspring;
he shall bruise your head,
and you shall bruise his heel.”

Genesis 3:21
And the LORD God made for Adam and for his wife garments of skins and clothed them.

Curious do you see the gospel in those verses?

Do you see Calvinism in these two verses?

Talking snakes and talking bushes are not ordinary garden variety snakes or bushes.
It is not metaphor or allegory.
It is a fact that the talking snake or talking bush inbued with characteristics not found in ordinary snakes and bushes are useful clue for us to determine these manifestations were not, in fact, meant to be metaphors or allegories, but were to be factually indicative of what those specific snakes and bushes were.
Talking snake was literally Satan and talking bush was literally God. Regular bushes and snakes are just that, snakes and bushes.

So in Genesis 3:15 God is referring to Satan, the talking snake. Eve and the snake were pals when Eve ate the fruit.
God creating enmity was God giving man a conscience. Perhaps that was the knowledge of good and evil. Or perhaps just the conscious awareness of Satan.

There would also be enmity between the off spring (Christ, the son of God and children of Satan in John 8)
John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
John 8:45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.

I see the Gospel in both and while they aren't Calvinist proof-texts, they do harmonize well with, and are congenial to Reformed/Calvinist doctrine. Especially Genesis 3:21, definitely a supporting text.

Yup, Gen 3:15 is called the protoevangelium. I don't know if Gen 3:21 has a name.

But I see 3:21 as follows.....Adam and Eve sinned and as the first act of religion they tried to cover their own sin with their own means. Fig leaves. God came along in the cool of the evening and said...."those leaves won't work. The only way to cover sin is my way."
Just as Jesus is the only way to cover sin and mans religion won't work. In fact an innocent animal had to die in the garden that day.....just like innocent Jesus had to die...then Adam and Eve covered their sin with the skin of the animal. I'm going with a lamb. Just as we are saved by putting on Christ Jesus.

I see the gospel, and I see Covenant theology which is Reformed theology in both.

Gen 3:15 is the announcement of redemption through Christ, and the beginning of the Covenant of Redemption playing out in history. Everything, absolutely everything, in the OT is focused on that seed of the woman Christ, of v. 14. The NT is the advent of that Seed, Jesus, and his conquering sin and death and the promise yet to come of the utter destruction of the serpent, a new heaven and a new earth with God dwelling in our midst. The essence of the gospel is Christ the Redeemer.

Gen 3:21 Portrays fallen man attempting to hide from God by their own means, and God providing.

As to the evidence that would relate to Calvinism, that must be qualified. Not all Calvinists are Reformed---rooted in Covenant theology. Some are Dispensational. As far as I know, only Covenant theology (Reformed) is the only branch of Christianity that begins with the pre-creation Covenant of Redemption within the Godhead.

I was going to respond, but Arial nailed it. No need to repeat what she so clearly laid out.
