THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD - PART 404

The light shines in the darkness and yet the darkness does not comprehend the light. Before proceeding let me clarify a very important point concerning the SEED of PROMISE - which SEED is the SEED of the Holy Ghost - which SEED when manifested is JESUS the Christ - who is God Himself with us - and in that SEED is the very SEED of His holy Spirit - in which dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.

Concerning the genealogy of Cain: In Genesis chapter 4, there is a short genealogy pertaining to Cain (after Adam and Eve had been put out of the garden of Eden). Cain having murdered his brother Abel went out from the presence of the Lord and dwelt in an area east of Eden in the land of Nod. There, Cain built a city Enoch, named after the name of his firstborn son Enoch. In verses 20-22, we read the details concerning the capabilities of Cain’s offspring.

Concerning the SEED of PROMISE genealogy: In Genesis chapter 4 verses 25-26, we read that Adam knew his wife again bearing him a son called Seth who then bore a son named Enos. Note here that men began to call upon the name of the Lord. In chapter 5 verse 1 this is the generations of Adam. Neither Cain nor Abel are mentioned here. We immediately went from Adam to Seth to Enos.

The promised SEED was imparted into Eve. God spoke concerning the promise that the SEED of a woman would bruise the serpent's head. The promised SEED did not travel from Eve into Cain or Abel but rather the promised SEED traveled from Eve into Seth and from Seth into Enos, continuing on to Noah and then into Sarah.

As we also know from reading the scriptures, Sarah was barren. But God had promised to Abram that in his SEED (Christ) would all the nations of the earth be blessed. God planted into Abram the SEED of promise in which all the nations of the earth were going to be blessed through faith.

In Luke chapter 3:23, we read the genealogy of the promised SEED (which promised SEED is the Christ) tracing the genealogy all the way back to verse 38 where we read the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam. Note that there is no mention of Cain or Abel. Why is this? Because the promised SEED did not travel into either of them.

In Matthew Chapter 1:1, we read the book of the generation of JESUS the Christ the son of David, the son of Abraham. Here we follow the travels of the now two SEEDS of promise as they traveled from Abraham and Sarah into Isaac and so forth until the two promised SEEDS were brought together by the Holy Ghost into the womb of a surrogate mother Mary.

All of the afore-mentioned refers to the ministry of the Holy Ghost down through the ages. Hidden from the wise and prudent but revealed now unto babes in Christ. Treasure these things in your heart for salvation is from the Lord our God who has become our Saviour!
