In earlier posts, we have referred to two seeds, mentioning in particular the "promised seed" of God imparted into Eve. This seed is of a different blood line than that which now flowed in her veins -- which as a result of the sin of disobedience to God’s Word had been polluted. Eve's bloodline had been polluted.
But the critical message does not start and end there. Indeed, we need to also have an understanding about Abraham -- for he also was promised that in his seed (singular) would all the nations of the earth be blessed. (Galatians 3:16) Remember the miracle of Abraham? Upon reaching 100 years of age he was no longer capable of naturally producing offspring. At the same time, Sarah's womb was sealed.
But the promised seed came forth anyway. How? Because with God, nothing is impossible! In fact, the scriptures state that the things that God has promised, He is also able to perform, and the situation between Abraham and Sarah is a prime example. There is no shadow of the Lord turning away from His promise. Therefore, our Lord God simply opens Sarah’s womb, resurrecting Abraham's natural capabilities. At the same time, note that God implanted into Abraham the promised male seed of a pure blood line. (Matthew 1:1-16)
As a consequence, Isaac was the offspring from Abraham's natural resurrected seed. However, Isaac was NOT the seed of promise. Still, in Isaac's seed bank dwelt the seeds of promise. Therefore, a new genealogical tree is presented in the Biblical record commencing with Abraham. The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham -- Abraham begat Isaac, and Isaac begat Jacob, and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren, etc., according to Matthew 1:1-16.
In other words, from Abraham, the seeds travel from Isaac into Jacob, and so on until the time of the appearing of the "promised" seed, establishing the promised bloodline of the seed of the Spirit of God who appears as the ONLY BEGOTTEN SON of God.
Note that the original scriptures state "begotten" -- NOT begat OR the "one and only Son" as more recent revisionist translations of the Bible indicate. (John 3:16, 18; John 1:14, 18; I John 4:9)
And, as the Word openly declares, "But when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth His Son, made of a woman, made under the Law, to redeem them that were under the Law that we might receive the adoption of sons -- and because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father." (Galatians 4:4)
For this child who was veiled in a body of flesh was in reality the Spirit of God manifested in flesh, being clothed in the womb of a surrogate. (Matthew 1:21; John 1:1-18; Colossians 1:12-18)
"And without controversy, great is the mystery of godliness; God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory." (I Timothy 3:16)
This is the secret that remained hid in the bosom of the Father until the fullness of time. Not God eternally co-existent in three persons -- as today's religious culture would have you believe -- but one God -- our heavenly Father who loved us enough to become as one of us -- so that you and I might receive His gift of salvation. (John 1:1-18; Isaiah 9:6)
Yes, the two seeds of promise which were implanted into Eve and into Abraham arrived in Mary’s seed bank. These two seeds brought together by the Holy Ghost. The fetus being the child of His holy Spirit clothed in flesh -- the flesh of Adam’s sinful race of which flesh Mary herself was clothed -- because Mary’s flesh had Adam’s sinful blood flowing in her veins.
The good news however is that even though we have all fallen short of the glory of God, we can be redeemed and made anew through the precious blood of Jesus Christ -- shed on the cross. We can be part of His promise to us that confirms we are no more a servant but sons and daughters of the Most High King when we believe in Him.
Therefore, trust in the living God today -- who IS the one and only Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe. (I Timothy 4:10) Let His Spirit speak expressly to you through His Word. Don't be deceived by those who come as wolves in sheep's clothing preaching another gospel that does not align with the Word. Trust Jesus the Christ today.
And let grace be unto you and peace too from God our Father who is the Lord Jesus Christ. One Lord, one faith, one baptism. (Ephesians 4:5-15)
