Abrahams seed according to promise

Apokalupto: The seed of Abraham.

Apokalupto: Abrahams Zera (Seed) according to promise.
Genesis 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: Isaiah 46:10

Genesis 41:32 And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice; it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.

I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets. Hosea 12:10

For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not. Job 33:14

Looking back into the Old Testament we are able to see how things come together in multiple likenesses being fulfilled in the New Born Testament. Matthew 13:52 Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.

If you are familiar with my threads you might know why I phrase it thus “New Born” Testament, because it was prefigured by two brothers which was laid down in multiple foreshadows throughout the Old Testament. The youngest always gets the prize, think of Esau and Jacob, Joseph and his brothers, Manasseh and Ephraim, Cain and Abel Ishmael and Isaac, okay okay..

On an in depth and detailed showcase of the Isaac foreshadowing Christ the lamb of God, see: Topic: Religion

Moses and Jesus, the two testaments. As Christians we know these things to the point of Ad nauseam. For more information on the two covenants foreshadowed in the OT visit: Topic: Religion

Now that we are up to speed on how God shows us His will and things to come in the future through multiples and similitude’s and patterns.

God promises a future blessing through Abrahams seed.
Genesis 22:18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.

Remember how God said that He has declared the end from the beginning? Isaiah 46:10

Beginning from the seed of the woman which shall bruise the serpents head unto Jesus Christ who conquered death and sin on the cross rendering the power of Satan to no effect to all who believe on the Son of God which is eternal life.

So God promised this would happen through the seed of the woman who was then Eve, look at what happens next in the story, Eve has Cain and Abel. Anon God shows the prefigure of what’s to come and how it is to happen! Cain being the first born, the elder who kills his younger brother. These are the two testament, the Jews (elder brother) handing over Jesus (The younger brother aka New Born Testator) to be killed (which was our sacrifice for eternal life) Now remember how Cains offering was not honored by God, but that Abels was, these go together, as Abel shows us what is acceptable to God which is a sacrificial lamb, who was then murdered. Paul talks about the same things in Galatians 4:21 -31

In the above aforementioned we have the blueprints of what to expect. We know that the seed of the woman is one man who is to be killed and sacrificed because of the prototype that was just then laid before us. This type continues repeatedly in the OT. More on this blueprint is written in detail here: Topic: Religion

That blueprint which also is found in David was persecuted and chased by the very first king of Israel named Saul who is representing symbolically as the first born elder brother, David being the persecuted younger brother who is a type of the Messiah. And in fact every one of these blueprint types starting with Cain and Abel, the younger always is a type of the Messiah. And then came Solomon after David who also was meant to be a great blessing.

Everyone time we have this Messiah type,
Abel (whos lamb sacrifice was respected but the first born Cain was not)

Isaac, (Who further demonstrated that the lamb sacrifice IS a man and in whose seed the blessings would come)

Jacob, (Who pulled the wool over his fathers eyes and got the blessing from his father and his brother inheritance over his older brother)

Ephraim (Who was blessed even over his older brother Manasseh by Jacob),

Joseph (Who despite being sold into Egypt as a slave by his brothers became second to pharaoh in command and became very great)

David, (Who Saul the tried to persecute and murder David who later was chosen by God to be king)

These are all blueprints of that blessing which was promised by God foreshadowed in one person alone “in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed” that seed (Zera) singular, one man, Jesus Christ who was foreshadowed so many times is that blessing to the world which is eternal life to all who believe on His name, and we are all Children of Abraham through Jesus. Galations 3:29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Happy Holidays everyone!
