THE FIRST PROPHECY

THE FIRST PROPHECY

                The first ever Bible prophecy occurred in the Garden of Eden. In what may have been one of the most tragic moments in earth’s history.  We see Adam and Eve and God and the Nachash, the fiery Seraph standing in a circle. Adam blamed Eve, Eve blamed the Nachash, and God cursed the Nachash and told him:

                “I will put enmity between you and the woman and between your seed and her seed. He shall bruise you on the head and you shall bruise him on the heel.” Gen 3:15

                Here we see the dividing of two seeds. One seed will be the seed of the woman and the other will be the seed of the serpent.

                Well, we can write this off as a spiritual war between good and evil and this is true. We can also identify it as a war between Christ and Satan or between Christ and His people and Satan and his people and all of that is also true. But it is more than that. It is also a physical war between two physical races of people. Genesis 6 tells us how angels, called the sons of God, came down and injected their seed into the human race and this produced giants called the Nephilim. These are the giants of which all of the old legends were written, men of renown… the Titans and the demigods of the old world.

                They literally took over the human race before the flood, defiling the seed of man as well as animals until God had to destroy the earth with a flood. We see this in God’s description of Noah, for it says:

                 “This is the genealogy of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God.”

                This is to say that Noah had pure DNA which had not been defiled with Nephilim seed or blood. So what we see here is God preserving the seed line of faith and destroying the seed line of Satan with a flood. And now we know what Satan had been trying to do. He was attempting to defile the entire human race so that the seed of promise could not be born. (Today, strangely enough labs all over the world are racing to alter the human race once again… trying to “improve on God’s creation… creating trans human beings.) Satan is once again seeking to defile the seed of men and especially the remnant of her seed.

                We see Satan’s previous attempts when Pharaoh tried to kill off all the male children of Israel in Egypt. We see it when Herod tried to kill off all the male children two years and under at the birth of Christ. And even though we are told that God destroyed the entire corrupted human race in the flood, the Bible tells us that another incursion happened after the flood, so that they inhabited the land of Canaan, the land Satan knew to be the land of promise and so Israel was sanctioned by God to once again destroy this satanic race including men, women and children along with the animals, for all had been corrupted once again.

                Here we can see why God ordered them to kill every inhabitant of certain cities in Canaan. They were Nephilim strongholds and the Bible makes that very clear in telling us that there were giants in the land. The devil was attempting to wipe out the seed of the woman and that is why he set up camp in Canaan.

                So there are important reasons why God did not want His chosen people marrying outside of their own people. It was not a race war in the way we tend to think of race wars, but it was a war between the DNA of God and the DNA of Satan. And now we are given to understand that this present attempt at globalization is being carried out by the very real seed of Satan, just as before the flood and this gives us their motivation for the coming Mark of the Beast. It will be a final attempt to wipe out the remnant of her seed that obey God and who bare the testimony of Jesus which is the Holy Spirit.

                We tend not to think in terms of literal physical seed, but we must consider that when the Holy Spirit came upon Mary, she bore a physical Son who was both God and Man. Likewise when we are born again we receive that spiritual seed that begins to transform us into sons and daughters of God  (Heb. 2:10) and as Romans 8: 19-21 says: “ For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God, for the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption in the freedom of the glory of the children of God.”

                These Bible texts sometimes tell us more than tradition allows us to say, but we can understand certain things if we put the pieces together.

1.       When God, at the fall of mankind, subjected His entire creation to futility and entropy and death, He was doing a merciful thing. He was putting term limits on the reign of sin and He was placing term limits on the seed of Satan. But He was doing it in such a way so that the question of sin and rebellion will never come up again in eternal ages to come. The faultiness of Satan’s way of governing will have been entirely exposed and the overriding sacrificial love of God will have been demonstrated so that mankind will never question God’s motives again. We will never have to serve God out of fear, but we will serve Him out of spontaneous love and respect.

2.                       This is why we are seen on the Sea of Glass singing, “Great and marvelous are Thy works, O Lord God the Almighty. Righteous and true are Thy ways, Thou King of the nations…”

3.       But this text in Romans 8 also tells us that when we are glorified, all of creation will be set free at the same time. And God will be just in bringing Satan’s reign to an end. He will pour out His wrath upon Satan and his seed and He will bring the Nachash’s reign of tyranny to an end.

4.       But God warns us that as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be at His coming. And even though Nephilim blood no longer creates giants, we now understand that many of the heartless and cruel tyrants that have marked history, from pagan Rome to Papal Rome, to Hitler, to all of the Communist regimes, these have all been attempts by Satan to wipe out the seed of the woman and especially the remnant of her seed who live in obedience to God and who have His Holy Spirit.

5.       And Jesus tells us the signs that will accompany the seed lie of faith in the last days: They will be able to cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues, they will pick up serpents, they will be protected from the enemy’s poison and they will heal the sick. In other words, they will carry on the work of Christ in the world until He comes to take us home. They will have authority over Satan.

6.       But this is also why we know that we are not destined for the wrath of God, for that is reserved for the seed of Satan and for Satan himself.

7.       It is well known that demons are the departed spirits of the Nephilim that died before the flood. Jesus had authority over them in His time and He has given us authority over them as well.

                There are many other details about the seed wars, that tradition has not allowed us to understand, but Peter gives us a glimpse in 1 Peter 3:18-22, where Jesus, upon His death on the cross, being alive in the spirit went and preached to those in prison who once were disobedient before the flood and this seems to correlate with Jesus story of the Rich man and Lazarus as well, where there were separate holding places for the spirits of those who died both before and after the flood. One of the holding places was for the seed line of faith. (It was called Abraham’s bosom) while the Bible calls the other holding place” Hades. “We don’t know a lot about these two holding places except that there was a great gulf fixed between them and one was a place of torment while the other was a place of blessing. The Rich man was able to see into the other holding place and he cried out to Father Abraham for relief, but none could be given.

                We also have reason to believe that Abraham’s bosom was emptied when Jesus rose from the dead, for Paul tells us in Ephesians 4:8:

                “Therefore it says, “When He ascended on high, He led captive a host of captives and He gave gifts to men. Now this expression: He ascended” what does it mean except that He also had descended into the lower parts of the earth?” (Just as Peter said.)

                So, we tend to avoid such statements, but they do fit into a pattern of truth that our traditions have limited us to understand. But such things may become important for us to understand in these last days, because in the coming global occupation of the earth, I believe that we will be facing and we are probably facing right now, the seed of Satan and many of them may actually have Nephilim blood in them and they certainly have Nephilim spirits in them and they are definitely in an all-out campaign to wipe out the remnant of her seed, just as it tells us in Revelation 12.  And it is not just Israel that they will seek to wipe out, but all who have become the seed of Abraham through faith in our Jewish Messiah, Yeshua (Jesus). We have been grafted into the seed line of faith through Jesus Christ who is the one SEED to whom all of the promises were made.

                We see the battle lines being drawn today. We see sides being taken. We see a whole lot of Christians who claim to belong to the seed line of faith that are nevertheless falling away and preparing to wonder after the Beast. We see them joining hands with the Pope in his bid to create a global religion made up off all religions in equal standing. But this in itself is blasphemy, for in no way can we equate Jesus with the other gods who never created us or died for our sins, or who will come again to receive us unto Himself. So if we want to be among those who are caught to meet Him in the air, we must be a part of the Remnant of her seed, who keep the Commandments of God and who bear the testimony of Jesus which the Bible tells us is the Holy Spirit. And not only that but this Holy Spirit identifies Himself as the Spirit of Bible Prophecy… so we need to pay heed to Bible Prophecy too, while we’re at it, for it is an outline of our Lord’s agenda in bringing the reign of the seed of the serpent to an end.

                I apologize for writing a little too long and a little too deep at times, but I am really writing to those who hunger to know and to understand these last days. Jesus is soon to move from His role as our High Priest to His role as Judge and King and today the false church is teaching that God is just a big Teddy Bear, who never judges and who is forever tolerant of sin. Such teaching is both false and dangerous.

                But the message of the Bible is that the hour of His judgment has come… that the seed line of Satan and all those who become his seed are going to be judged and thrown into the lake of fire. It also teaches us that there is only one way out of the kingdom of Satan and that is to enter by faith into Christ’s death and to be born again by the power of His resurrection… to become citizens of Christ’s kingdom…to come out and to be a separate people who live in a different kingdom, who serve the God of heaven… who have been redeemed by the precious blood of Jesus, who are putting away sin from their lives because grace gives us the power to do so. And grace also empowers us to take authority over all the works of the enemy.

                We see the lines being drawn and so we must know that we have a decisive choice to make. We must respond to the first prophecy given in the Garden of Eden by choosing which seed line we will belong to and that choice changes everything. It will soon make us public enemy number one, for the Devil has gone forth seeking whom he may devour and he is out to annihilate the Remnant of her seed and that is what we are if we belong to Jesus.

                Being a true Christian is not for wimps. In fact we must be courageous and strong in these last days, for Paul tells us I Ephesians 6:

                “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God that you may be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore, take up the full armor of God that you may be able to resist in the evil day and having done everything to stand firm.” Ephesians 6:10-13.

                There is no time left for marshmallow messages. We are in an all-out war of the seeds and we are either in one camp or the other.
