Genesis 1, the beautiful God of Life
Tells Adam, "be fruitful and multiply" (Gen. 1:28)
As a son of God-king: subdue the earth
By your offspring—through their birth
Defeat temptation at the tree with patience
Then there's life forever after this brief probation
But king Adam and queen Eve were shaken
By the deceiving schemes of Satan
Seen in Cain when, He murdered Abel
Because of fiendish cravings, evil's reigning!
Now from the womb, we are pagan
Deep enslavement, in all people/nations
But Genesis 3:15 the statement: God promises to recreate them
A Seed from Eve will crush the Head of the
Serpent to end the rule and deeds of Satan!
Now that the whole human race is ruined
By grace God will recreate a new one
This is His promise and He's faithful to it
All of Scripture displays the way He proved it
Through the offspring of Eve
God promises to conquer sin then all things redeemed
Through Seth then Enosh was conceived
Men like Enoch in this promised believed
See how the line of Seth is contrasted
With the cursed line of Cain who are all blasphemous
Consider Enoch, who descends from Seth
Through fellowship with God—He's exempt from death (Gen. 4:)
Amidst wickedness—God will choose in grace
To make through Noah a new human race
He's a "new-Adam" who is in the godly line
God tells him, "Be fruitful and multiply"
But sinners serve self as their god
Seen in the acts of that Babel squad
So the nations get scattered abroad
But through Abraham they will be brought back to God!
Although enslaved by the flesh, Satan and death
Through Abraham's seed all nations get blessed
In this covenant with Abraham we see
The promise of his new creation family
"But how, when his wife Sarah can't conceive?
And Abraham is an Old Man indeed!"
Because in Isaac's birth we see this will
Be a supernatural -resurrection humanity!
Isaac sets the pattern for a second Adam
At Mt. Moriah you can say "a resurrection" happened (Heb. 11:19):
Saved from his daddy's knife at the sacrifice
A ram's killed instead to take back his life
Foreshadowing the Offspring who's born
To be the substitute caught in the thorns
Then Isaac's son Jacob declares to Judah:
His offspring will be the Cherished Ruler!
Now that the whole human race is ruined
By grace God will recreate a new one
This is His promise and He's faithful to it
All of Scripture displays the way He proved it
Through the promise of offspring
There will be a 2nd Adam-divine-human- Son of God-King
Through the promise of offspring
There will be a second Adam-divine-human- Son of God-King
The promised offspring to conquer death and Satan
Came through Judah, Boaz, Jesse, David
Yahweh promised in 2nd Samuel 7
To David that his offspring and descendant
Would be King forever—Daniel 7
This is the divine Son of Man of Heaven
This truth's evident:
See Matthew 1:1 the very first verse of the New Testament=
Literally "The (book of the) Genesis of
Jesus Christ, Son of David, Son of Abraham."
(Βίβλος γενέσεως Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ υἱοῦ Δαυὶδ υἱοῦ Ἀβραάμ.)
It states the span of God's New Creation plan
To recreate His people before He remakes the Land
He's the seed of Judah, Ruth, and David
Whom God the Father brought out of the tomb He raised Him
As the first born of the New Creation. (Colossians 1:18)
Corporate Resurrection: Union language. (1 Cor. 15:22-23)
From every race and people group He's making
His Jew-Gentile true human nation
Although they used to hate Him, as ruined pagans
With a new human nature they're moved to praise Him!
Now there is two kinds of humans:
The offspring of God, or seed of Satan who are blind and ruined
But praise the Father for His wise solution
His Son would be fully divine and human
As THE Seed of Abe to find/pursue them
And suffer for the cosmic crimes they're doing
He paid the eternal fine that's due them
Then resurrected to apply it to them
By His Spirit who would in time renew them
By providing a justifying faith
Their abiding in the True Vine who prunes them
Now in Christ it's a lively union!
Galatians 3:16, it's simple bra ("bro")
The seed of Abraham is in the singular
It's Christ, we can see this
But 3:29, we're offspring by being united to Jesus
Children of the Spirit and of promise
For all in Christ, New Jerusalem is who their Mom is
We're resting in grace, accepted by faith
"But how did God save Old Testament saints?"
Abraham's true children from sin they're redeemed
Waiting for THE SEED Singularly (Christ!)
But they were united to Christ forgiven and free
By faith in the promise they're in Him like me
Though they were physical seed, visibly
They had new creation hearts, within they believed
In Messiah to come and not in any deeds
They were branches grafted into Him who's the Tree!
And through His Virgin birth and perfect works
The curse (is) reversed and the Serpent's merked
Just as by His Word He made the earth at first
We're reborn by his word, we're His purchased Church!
I said, through His Virgin birth and perfect works
The curse (is) reversed and the Serpent's merked
Just as by His Word He made the earth at first
We're reborn by his word, we're His purchased Church!
Now that the whole human race is ruined
By Grace God will recreate a new one
This is his promise and He's faithful to it;
All of Scripture displays the way He proved it!
Through the promise of offspring
Who offered Himself as an offering, now we're offsprings
Through the promise of offspring
Who offered Himself as an offering, now we're offsprings
