The Revelation of the Seed of God – Part 1

June 7, 2026

Therefore, when He came into the world, He said:

“Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, But a body You have prepared for Me.”

Christ Jesus, Hebrews 10:5

When you open a massive, multi-volume architectural plan, you cannot understand the purpose of the first shovel hitting the dirt unless you have already seen the blueprint of the finished skyscraper. You cannot comprehend the tedious, meticulous preparation of the foundation unless you know exactly what is designed to inhabit the top floor.

Today, we are stepping back to the absolute beginning of the divine design. We are going back to Genesis. But we are not going back with a blind fold on. We are opening Part 1 of this teaching with the full, staggering foresight of where this entire cosmic story lands.

We are going back to the moment a prophetic spark was struck in the wreckage of the Garden of Eden—Genesis 3:15—where God declared that the “Seed of the woman” would one day crush the head of the serpent. For thousands of years, the religious world has read that verse and thought it was merely a promise about a solitary, historical man who would show up to fight the devil.

But from the very beginning, the Supreme Architect was planning something infinitely larger.

The promise of the Seed was never just about a single, localized Savior walking the dusty roads of Galilee. The ultimate destination of the blueprint was reproduction. The Architect’s true goal was to take that single, perfect grain of wheat, preserve it through seventy-seven generations of human history, and then break its outer hull open at the cross and resurrection so that it could multiply into a global, spiritual harvest.

Before the first generation of Abraham’s biological line was ever formed, God already had the end of the age in view. He saw the day when the single physical Seed would become a spiritual reality. He saw a permanently transformed Trinity. He saw a corporate Son—a vast, global New Spiritual Man where Christ is the Head and a born-again Church is the living, breathing Body, carrying the literal, unadulterated DNA of the Father!

Every boundary line under the Mosaic Law, every person throughout Israel’s history, and every drop of blood shed on an old covenant altar was a highly secure, heavily guarded legal runway built for one specific purpose: to safely deliver the life of God into the spirit of man.

Today, as we look at the origin of the Seed in Part 1, I want you to look at it through the lens of the final harvest. Do not just see an ancient promise. See the foundation of your own spiritual identity. See the beginning of a supernatural bloodline that is operating on a strict, unyielding countdown clock. This clock is ticking down to the final second of the last hour of grace, when the Farmer returns to gather His identical corporate crop into eternal glory.

The following teaching will explore a profound parallel within the Biblical narrative, tracing a single, golden thread from the dawn of creation to its ultimate spiritual fulfillment. This is the story of The Seed—a journey that spans six thousand years, sixty-six books, and every act of God recorded in the Scriptures.

At the heart of this revelation is the understanding that the human form was not merely created for its own sake but was engineered by the Creator as a specialized vessel of clay. From the biological foundations established on the third day of creation to the incorruptible spiritual seed brought forth by Christ’s resurrection, the human body, its biological systems, and its history have served as the vital environment for the seed’s preservation and viability.

God is revealing His purpose and plan, which He ordained before the ages for our glory and is now revealing to His sons through His Spirit. Before the physical universe (matter, space, and time) was brought into existence, the glory of His sons was already secured. There is nothing random in this world. What we perceive as random is actually a sophisticated tapestry of a pre-ordained plan that transcends time. If there is nothing random, then every encounter, every delay, and every trial is a setup for the glory that is to be revealed in us. Rest in the fact that the way was already found and paved before time began.

The Pulpit Breakdown on an Average Sunday

60% – 70% New Testament Topical/Epistles: The vast majority of modern sermons are drawn from the New Testament Epistles or topical series (marriage, finances, anxiety, leadership) that use New Testament verses as proof texts.

15% – 20% The Gospels: Focused primarily on the localized, earthly ministry of Jesus.

15% – 20% The Old Testament: Usually limited to familiar narrative character studies (David and Goliath, Daniel in the lions’ den) or a brief seasonal look at the Prophets during Advent.

Modern religion treats the Old Testament like an outdated, dusty history book that was rendered irrelevant by the New Testament, rather than realizing it is the inseparable engineering blueprint for the New Covenant. They try to understand the roof of the house (the Epistles) without ever looking at the foundations of the Seed. I was always told that the God of the New Testament is a different God in the Old Testament.  A God of grace and love as opposed to a God of judgement and anger. How can this be when I read that God does not change in Malachi 3:6 “For I am the Lord, I do not change;” That’s not only a definitive statement, but He also says it in the last Old Testament book before Matthew in the New Testament. It’s as if He knew that the world would think that within a few pages He would change.

So what is the purpose of the Old Testament and why should born-again believers even care?

Once you perceive the Bible through the lens of the seed, you can never unsee it. Every character and every story is revealed as a purposeful stewardship of the life that was to come—the one who would break down every wall and birth an entirely new species. Open your eyes to the scale of the architecture. Let’s look at the blueprint from the beginning. This is The Revelation of the Seed, Part 1.

Definition of ‘seed’:

Hebrew – descendants, seed, offspring, family, seminal, children, descendant

Greek –  something sown, i.e., seed (including the male “sperm”) 

Genesis 1:1-31 The creation of the cosmos the beginning God (Elohim – emphasizes the authority required to speak the world into existence and set the seed in motion) created the heavens and the Earth. 2The Earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. 3Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. 4And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. 5God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day.

6Then God said, “Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.” 7Thus God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament; and it was so. 8And God called the firmament Heaven. So the evening and the morning were the second day.

9Then God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear”; and it was so. 10And God called the dry land Earth, and the gathering together of the waters He called Seas. And God saw that it was good.

11Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth”; and it was so. 12And the Earth brought forth grass, the herb that yields seed according to its kind, and the tree that yields fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 13So the evening and the morning were the third day. 

This is a profound parallel in the biblical narrative. The third day of creation (bringing forth the seed) aligns perfectly with the third day of the resurrection (bringing forth the spiritual seed). They line up structurally to show they are part of the same master plan. On the third day of creation, God commanded the Earth to bring forth the seed, establishing the biological foundation for life and identity within itself. By Christ’s rising on the third day, he transformed the seed from a mortal, earthly body into an incorruptible spiritual seed. Just as God brought life out of the waters, God commanded the Earth to bring forth Christ, the new spiritual Seed – the resurrection, bringing forth spiritual life out of death and planting the seed of Christ Jesus, the Word, to birth spiritual sons.

14Then God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years; 15and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth”; and it was so. 16Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also. 17God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth, 18and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19So the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

20Then God said, “Let the waters abound with an abundance of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the face of the firmament of the heavens.” 21So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters abounded, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 22And God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.” 23So the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

24Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, each according to its kind”; and it was so. 25And God made the beast of the earth according to its kind, cattle according to its kind, and everything that creeps on the earth according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

26Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

God grants man dominion over the living creatures on the Earth, but the seed, as we will see in the following verses, is presented as a separate gift only for food to support life. This places it in a category of provision rather than governance. God keeps the source of life under His divine jurisdiction and the seed’s inherent biological power to replicate itself according to its kind under His divine design.

 27So, God created man in His own image; in the image of God, He created him; male and female He created them. 28Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

The seed is missing from man’s dominion.

29And God said, “See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the Earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food. 30Also, to every beast of the Earth, to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the Earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food”; and it was so. 31Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So, the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

Genesis 2:1-25 Creation of the covenant

1Thus the heavens and the earth, and all the host of them, were finished. 2And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. 3Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made.

4This is the history of the heavens and the Earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God (Yahweh Elohim – used throughout Genesis chapter two to shift from the distant, Powerful Creator of the universe to the personal God who relates directly to humanity) made the Earth and the heavens, 5before any plant of the field was in the Earth and (before any herb of the field had grown. For the Lord God had not caused it to rain on the Earth, and there was no man to till (abad – ah-VAHD literally means to serve, work, or cultivate. This is the exact same root word used later in the Old Testament to describe the rigorous service performed by the Levitical priests inside the Tabernacle).) the ground; 6but a mist went up from the Earth and watered the whole face of the ground. 7And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life.

Resolving the creation Blueprint: The Universal vs. the specific. The creation of Adam on the eighth day.

To see if the text structurally supports the idea that God rested on the seventh day, came back on the eighth day, and then worked to form Adam, Eve, and the Garden, we have to look directly at the Hebrew vocabulary and the shifting of the divine names between Genesis 1 and Genesis 2.

When you look past traditional Sunday school teaching, there is a massive structural shift in the text that strongly supports this exact sequence. Here is how the deep study of Genesis reveals this “Eighth Day” creative work:

1. The Separation of the Names (The Corporate vs. The Covenant)

The first major clue is a dramatic shift in how God identifies Himself.

This name change happens precisely when the text transitions away from the universal creation week. Yahweh is God’s intensely personal, covenantal name. This tells us that Genesis 1 is the universal blueprint, while Genesis 2 is a brand-new, localized covenant operation that begins after the universal week is finalized and sealed.

2. Genesis 2:4—The “Generations” Line of Demarcation

Look closely at the verse that bridges the two accounts:

“This is the history (Toledot – toh-leh-DOTE generations/origins) of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens.” (Genesis 2:4)

In Hebrew, the word Toledot is always used to introduce a completely new chapter or lineage after a major event has concluded. By placing Toledot right after the Seventh Day of rest, the text structurally signals that the universal creation is a finished book.

What follows in Genesis 2 is a brand-new day—structurally, the Eighth Day—where Yahweh Elohim steps back onto the scene to begin a specialized, hands-on project.

3. The Shift from “Speaking” to “Sculpting”

On the first six days, Elohim created universally by speaking (“And God said, ‘Let there be…'”). It was a command-driven, corporate creation.

But in Genesis 2, the type of work is completely different. God is no longer speaking things into existence from a distance; He is physically involved in the dirt:

This isn’t a repetitive retelling of Day Six. This is a distinct, localized, high-precision creation. The universal creation was finished on Day Six, God rested on Day Seven, and then on the Eighth Day (the day of new beginnings), Yahweh Elohim began intimately molding, planting, and constructing a priestly sanctuary for His Seed. He created a man to carry and ultimately receive His seed.

4. The Problem of the Cultivated Field

As we looked at earlier, Genesis 2:5 explicitly notes that this work happened when there was no rain and no man to serve (abad – ah-VAHD) the ground.

If Adam had already been universally created and settled on Day Six, Genesis 2:5 wouldn’t make structural sense. But if Genesis 2 takes place on the Eighth Day, it fits perfectly:

8The Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed. 9And out of the ground the Lord God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

10 Now a river went out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it parted and became four riverheads. 11The name of the first is Pishon (pee-SHONE):it is the one which skirts the whole land of Havilah (HAV-ih-luh), where there is gold. 12And the gold of that land is good. Bdellium and the onyx stone are there. 13The name of the second river is Gihon (gee-CHOHN); it is the one which goes around the whole land of Cush. 14The name of the third river is Hiddekel (Hid-de-kel); it is the one which goes toward the east of Assyria. The fourth river is the Euphrates.

15Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it. 16And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; 17but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”

18And the Lord God said, “It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper to him.” 19Out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them. And whatever Adam called each living creature, that was its name. 20So Adam gave names to all cattle, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam, there was not found a helper comparable to him.

21And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh in its place. 22Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man, He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. 

Adam and Eve were created for both the natural and spiritual seeds. They serve as a vital environment designed to host and perpetuate the human seed. In this biological and spiritual framework, the seed is the primary object of creation, with the human form – its organs, systems, and inner being – functioning as the specialized vessel of clay for the seed’s preservation and viability. God’s command to be fruitful and multiply confirms that the human body was designed specifically to facilitate the seed’s journey through time – to its final destiny. It will become obvious that God’s purpose and plan for His Seed, given to Adam, was for it to remain viable for 4000 years. We will soon see that the cruel God others see in the Old Testament is, in reality, a Father protecting His Seed.

23And Adam said:

“This is now bone of my bones

And flesh of my flesh;

She shall be called Woman,

Because she was taken out of Man.”

24Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.

The first declaration of union-oneness-identity. The man and Woman come together in sexual union. The born child is the literal manifestation of the one flesh. This shifts oneness from a metaphysical or social state to a physical, genetic reality. When we look at the mechanics of reproduction, the oneness is not a metaphor; it is biological fusion. During procreation, the mother and father each contribute half of the genetic blueprint. The resulting zygote is a unique, third entity that is simultaneously both parents and yet neither one of them. The DNA pairings are a permanent, inseparable tapestry of two lineages. Unlike marriage, which can be legally dissolved, union within a child cannot unmix the DNA once the child exists. The parents contribute the dust of the Earth while the spark of life contributes the soul. As we will see later, this union to oneness to identity will take on an entirely different meaning where spiritual new birth isn’t the will of the flesh but the will of God. The physical child is one because of shared DNA; the New Creation is one with God through a spiritual equivalent. This is merely a blueprint. The full expression of the new creation isn’t found in the first Adam and those who are born of him, but the last Adam and those who are born of him. In this view, God isn’t just fixing a broken human; rather, He is using the pattern of human procreation to explain how He is birthing an entirely new category of existence that can sustain a direct, unified life with Him. This new creation will have the spiritual DNA, the exact essence – identity of God the Father.

25And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

Genesis 3:1-7, 12-23 1Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the Woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?”

2And the Woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; 3but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.’ ”

4Then the serpent said to the Woman, “You will not surely die. 5For God knows that in the day you eat of it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” (the ultimate deception and lie that has progressed through time to the church as we know it today). We will revisit this in depth in a teaching titled The Seed of Satan.

6So when the Woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate. 7Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings.

12Then the man said, “The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.”

13And the Lord God said to the Woman, “What is this you have done?”

The Woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”

14So the Lord God said to the serpent:

“Because you have done this,

You are cursed more than all cattle,

And more than every beast of the field;

On your belly you shall go,

And you shall eat dust

All the days of your life.

15And I will put enmity

Between you and the Woman, And between your seed and her seed; He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel.”

This is the first documentation that Satan himself also has a seed. Jesus said to the Pharisees, “You are of your father the devil …” John 8:44

Whether it be the Pharisees in the days of Jesus or the modern churches of today, religion is the seed of Satan. Religion is the fulfillment of Satan’s words to Eve – “you will be like God” We will discuss this in teaching The Seed of Satan where we shall see the far-reaching influences of Satan’s seed in the modern-day church.

16To the woman He said: “I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception; In pain you shall bring forth children;
Your desire shall be for your husband, And he shall rule over you.”

17Then to Adam He said, “Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it’: “Cursed is the ground for your sake; In toil you shall eat of it All the days of your life.
18Both thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you,
And you shall eat the herb of the field. 19In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread Till you return to the ground, For out of it you were taken; For dust you are, And to dust you shall return.”

20And Adam called his wife’s name Eve, because she was the mother of all living.

21Also for Adam and his wife the Lord God made tunics of skin and clothed them.

22Then the Lord God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of Us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he put out his hand and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever”— 23therefore the Lord God sent him out of the garden of Eden to till the ground from which he was taken.

And so, it all began. The Bible, sixty-six books and approximately 1200 pages later, it was and still is entirely about the seed. Every story, every character, and every act of God is for the purpose of following the seed and what it took to keep it pure and viable. The Old Testament is not a collection of random stories; it is a seamless and specific document that follows His seed, the seed of the Messiah, through 4000 years of history.

Luke 3:23-38 23Now Jesus Himself began His ministry at about thirty years of age, being)  (as was supposed the son of Joseph) (“Joseph was not Jesus biological father in any understanding since Mary conceived by a miraculous intervention of the Holy Spirit before she was joined to Joseph and the text tells us they refrained from intercourse until after Jesus’ birth.

However in the eyes of the law of the time, Joseph was the father. More than just a legal guardian, by later taking Mary as his wife, he also claimed Jesus as his son. This gave him a standing in relation to the child that -in the eyes of the Jews at least- must be accounted for”), the son (son in law of Heli) of Heli (HAY-lee) (Mary’s father), 24the son of Matthat (MAT-that), the son of Levi, the son of Melchi, the son of Janna, the son of Joseph, 25the son of Mattathiah, the son of Amos, the son of Nahum, the son of Esli, the son of Naggai, 26the son of Maath, the son of Mattathiah, the son of Semei, the son of Joseph, the son of Judah, 27the son of Joannas, the son of Rhesa, the son of Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, the son of Neri, 28the son of Melchi, the son of Addi, the son of Cosam, the son of Elmodam, the son of Er, 29the son of Jose, the son of Eliezer, the son of Jorim, the son of Matthat, the son of Levi, 30the son of Simeon, the son of Judah, the son of Joseph, the son of Jonan, the son of Eliakim, 31the son of Melea, the son of Menan, the son of Mattathah, the son of Nathan, the son of David, 32the son of Jesse, the son of Obed, the son of Boaz, the son of Salmon, the son of Nahshon (nakh-shohn), 33the son of Amminadab, the son of Ram, the son of Hezron, the son of Perez, the son of Judah, 34the son of Jacob, the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham, the son of Terah, the son of Nahor, 35the son of Serug, the son of Reu, the son of Peleg, the son of Eber, the son of Shelah, 36the son of Cainan, the son of Arphaxad, the son of Shem, the son of Noah, the son of Lamech, 37the son of Methuselah, the son of Enoch, the son of Jared, the son of Mahalalel, the son of Cainan, 38the son of Enosh, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God.

53 out of above 77 names were permanently written into the eternal Old Testament text as a legal trail of breadcrumbs.

The Father left a massive, undeniable paper trail for 4,000 years so that when the countdown clock finally hit zero and the promised Messiah was going to the cross, any legal scholar in Israel could walk into the temple, pull the registries, and verify that Jesus of Nazareth possessed the exact, unpolluted biological documentation required to be the Last Adam.

———————————————–

The Old Testament isn’t a separate story; it is the physical blueprints that legally validated the arrival of the Incorruptible Seed. 1 Peter 1:23

Israel was a chosen people to be the physical and spiritual vessel for that incorruptible seed. It was a functional election. The choice of Israel was not an end in itself; it was a means to an end. They were the delivery system for the Messiah. To carry this specific seed through history, Israel had to remain a distinct people. This explains the strict laws given in Leviticus and the commands in Deuteronomy. Deut. 20:16-18 16“But of the cities of these peoples which the Lord your God gives you as an inheritance, you shall let nothing that breathes remain alive, 17but you shall utterly destroy them: the Hittite and the Amorite and the Canaanite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite, just as the Lord your God has commanded you, 18lest they teach you to do according to all their abominations which they have done for their gods, and you sin against the Lord your God.

The instruction to destroy the nations in Canaan is one of the most challenging and debated aspects of the Old Testament. Many walk away from God today citing the cruelty of God found in these verses. “How could a loving God so brutally kill so many nations? It is just random murder”

It is primarily found in books  Deuteronomy and Joshua are often framed as a holy war. It is a stark reminder of the environment the Israelites were entering in the Promised Land. In this place, the seed had to be strictly guarded against contamination by surrounding practices to remain holy.

To understand why this command was given, we have to look at the specific reasons provided in the biblical text, which tie directly back to the seed and the preservation of the lineage we have been tracing.

In Leviticus 18:21, the command “You shall not let any of your descendants pass through the fire to Molech” is a direct prohibition against one of the most extreme forms of idolatry in the ancient Near East: ritual child sacrifice in fire. For the Israelites, this prohibition was about more than just preventing the murder of their children; it was about identity and holiness. In the context of the genealogies we have been looking at in Luke, this law in Leviticus takes on even more weight. If a family in the lineage of the Messiah had “passed their seed through the fire,” that biological line would have been extinguished. Protecting the descendants from Molech was not just a moral law; it was a preservation of the lineage that would eventually lead to the birth of Jesus.

If Israel had fully intermingled with the nations practicing child sacrifice (Molech), the specific line from Abraham to David to Mary would have been physically extinguished or spiritually corrupted. The Law (Torah) acted as a hedge or a schoolmaster to keep the people focused on the coming Messiah. Once again in Galatians 2:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

These were the stewards of the seed.

The Patriarchs: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob carried the promise. Galatians 3:16-19 16Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He does not say, “And to seeds,” as of many, but as of one, “And to your seed,” who is Christ. 19What purpose then does the law serve? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was appointed through angels by the hand of a mediator.

If the Scripture explicitly says the law was only added until the Seed should come—then I have to ask this: Why does the modern church insist on dragging our people back under Old Testament laws today?

The Princes: Naasson (nakh-SHOHN) and Salmon carried the seed through the wilderness and into the Promised Land. Salmon crossed the Jordan, fought in the Conquest, and settled in Bethlehem—the very town where Jesus would eventually be born.

The Kings: David and Nathan carried the seed through the height of the Monarchy.

The Remnant: Individuals like Zerubbabel carried the seed through the Babylonian Exile.

Let’s look at two biblical events where an understanding of God’s seed, the seed of the Messiah, sheds a different light on what we understand.

The flood

Genesis 7:1-5 1Then the Lord said to Noah, “Come into the Ark, you and all your household (Noah and Noah’s sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons), because I have seen that you are righteous before Me in this generation. 2You shall take with you seven each of every clean animal, a male and his female; two each of animals that are unclean, a male and his female; 3also seven each of birds of the air, male and female, to keep the species (their seed) alive on the face of all the Earth. 4For after seven more days I will cause it to rain on the Earth forty days and forty nights, and I will destroy from the face of the Earth all living things that I have made.” 5And Noah did according to all that the Lord commanded him.

Why Noah and his family? Noah was righteous, but God was not out to protect every righteous man alive at the time. The answer lies in Noah’s son Shem. The ark and every animal on board was specifically for Shem and his wife. At that moment Shem and his wife were the most important two people alive.

Genesis 9:8-9 8And God spoke unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying, 9And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;

The Ark was much more than a lifeboat for animals—it was a divine necessity to preserve the specific, untainted lineage that would eventually lead to the Messiah.

If that seed had been lost or corrupted by the world as it existed before the flood, the entire redemptive plan would have been halted. The Ark functions as a protective womb for the promise made in Genesis 3:15 (the “seed of the Woman”) – a protective womb to isolate the specific, untainted lineage of Shem.

The Ark wasn’t just saving humanity in general; it was specifically protecting the Messianic line that ran directly through Shem. By the time of the Flood, the lineage of the “seed of the Woman” (from Genesis 3:15) had narrowed down to this one man. If Shem had not been on that Ark, the line of Abraham, David, and ultimately the Messiah would have been extinguished. After the Flood, Noah specifically says, “Blessed be the Lord, the God of Shem.” Shem becomes the spiritual inheritor. The protection of the seed transitioned from the Ark’s physical wood to Shem’s physical life.

The seed of the Messiah was the priority. Still, the Creator protected the entire environment needed for that seed to flourish. The Ark ensured that when the door finally opened, Noah and Shem wouldn’t step out into a sterile, dead world. By bringing “seven of every clean animal,” the Ark provided an immediate source of food and sacrifice for the new world without risking the extinction of a species. The animals weren’t just passengers; they were the infrastructure. They provided the labor (for future farming), the clothing (wool/hides), and the biological diversity needed to serve the ongoing seed of the Messiah.

The three sons of Judah.

Genesis 38:1-30 1About that time, Judah left his brothers and settled near a man named Hirah, an Adullamite. 2There Judah saw the daughter of a Canaanite man named Shua (SHOO-uh), and he took her as a wife and slept with her. 3So she conceived and gave birth to a son, and Judah named him Er (ayr). 4Again she conceived and gave birth to a son, and she named him Onan (OH-nan). 5Then she gave birth to another son and named him Shelah (seh-LAH); it was at Chezib (kez-eeb’) that she gave birth to him.

Judah was the designated carrier of the tribal birthright—the physical cargo of the Seed was resting in his loins. By stepping outside the covenant line and taking a Canaanite wife, Judah compromised the biological purity of the container. The first three sons born (Er, Onan, and Shelah) were a genetic mixture.

6Now Judah acquired a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name was Tamar. 7But Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; so the LORD put him to death.

Er was so wicked that the Father put him to death (v. 7). The container was corrupted, and God stepped in to prevent a polluted lineage from carrying the pure seed forward.

8Then Judah said to Onan, “Sleep with your brother’s wife. Perform your duty as her brother-in-law and raise up offspring for your brother.”

9But Onan knew that the offspring would not belong to him; so whenever he would sleep with his brother’s wife, he would spill his seed on the ground so that he would not produce offspring for his brother. 10What he did was wicked in the sight of the LORD, so He put Onan to death as well.

Onan treated the divine sperma as worthless baggage. By deliberately spilling the seed on the ground, he refused to act as a protector of the line. He chose to preserve his own inheritance over the reproductive purpose of the Father, and for that structural treason, God executed him (v. 10).

11Then Judah said to his daughter-in-law Tamar, “Live as a widow in your father’s house until my son Shelah grows up.” For he thought, “He may die too, like his brothers.” So Tamar went to live in her father’s house.

12After a long time, Judah’s wife, the daughter of Shua, died. When Judah had finished mourning, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite went up to his sheepshearers at Timnah. 13When Tamar was told, “Your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep,” 14she removed her widow’s garments, covered her face with a veil to disguise herself, and sat at the entrance to Enaim, which is on the way to Timnah. For she saw that although Shelah had grown up, she had not been given to him as a wife.

15When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute because she had covered her face. 16Not realizing that she was his daughter-in-law, he went over to her and said, “Come now, let me sleep with you.”

“What will you give me for sleeping with you?” she inquired.

17“I will send you a young goat from my flock,” Judah answered.

But she replied, “Only if you leave me something as a pledge until you send it.

18“What pledge should I give you?” he asked.

She answered, “Your seal and your cord, and the staff in your hand.” So he gave them to her and slept with her, and she became pregnant by him. 19Then Tamar got up and departed. And she removed her veil and put on her widow’s garments again.

Tamar was not acting out of lust; she was acting out of an intense, desperate revelation that the Seed must be preserved at all costs. When Judah refused to give her his third son, Shelah, she took matters into her own hands to extract the seed directly from the source.

Before she allowed the seed to enter her vessel, she demanded three absolute legal proofs of identity from Judah:

20Now when Judah sent his friend Hirah (hee-RAH) the Adullamite with the young goat to collect the items he had left with the Woman, he could not find her. 21He asked the men of that place, “Where is the shrine prostitute who was beside the road at Enaim?”

“No shrine prostitute has been here,” they answered.

22So Hirah returned to Judah and said, “I could not find her, and furthermore, the men of that place said, ‘No shrine prostitute has been here.’”

23“Let her keep the items, Judah replied. “Otherwise, we will become a laughingstock. After all, I did send her this young goat, but you could not find her.”

24About three months later, Judah was told, “Your daughter-in-law Tamar has prostituted herself, and now she is pregnant.”

“Bring her out!” Judah replied. “Let her be burned to death!”

25As she was being brought out, Tamar sent a message to her father-in-law: “I am pregnant by the man to whom these items belong.” And she added, “Please examine them. Whose seal and cord and staff are these?”

26Judah recognized the items and said, “She is more righteous than I, since I did not give her to my son Shelah.” And he did not have relations with her again.

Tamar cared more about protecting and securing the lineage of the Seed than Judah did.

The Birth of Perez and Zerah

27When the time came for Tamar to give birth, there were twins in her womb. 28And as she was giving birth, one of them put out his hand; so the midwife took a scarlet thread and tied it around his wrist. “This one came out first,” she announced. 29But when he pulled his hand back, and his brother came out, she said, “You have broken out first!” So he was named Perez. 30Then his brother came out with the scarlet thread around his wrist, and he was named Zerah.

The story of Judah in Genesis 38 is the pivotal moment where the Messianic line was nearly lost and then dramatically preserved. The lineage was in a state of total crisis.

Tamar took a desperate and controversial risk to ensure the seed did not die out. Through her encounter with Judah, the lineage bypassed the stagnant Shelah and returned directly to Judah himself. Genesis 49:10 10The scepter shall not depart from Judah, Nor a lawgiver from between his feet, Until Shiloh comes; And to Him shall be the obedience of the people.

The bible is not a random collection of stories. Every biblical character and story exists for the singular purpose of following and keeping this seed pure and viable for 4,000 years.

Conclusion to Part One: The Vessel and the Promise

We have traced the movement of the seed from the moment Elohim spoke it into existence on the third day of creation to its strategic preservation through the most turbulent eras of human history. We have seen that the human form—from the dust of the ground to the union of one flesh—was engineered by divine design to serve as a specialized vessel of clay, a protective environment for a lineage that could not be allowed to fail.

Through the structural seal of Noah’s Ark, the birth of Perez, and the functional election of the nation of Israel, God acted not as a distant judge but as a Father fiercely protecting the viability of His Firstborn’s seed. The Law, the tabernacle, and the strict boundaries of the Promised Land were never ends in themselves; they were the delivery system for a biological reality that had to remain pure for 4,000 years.

However, the biological carrier was only the beginning of the mystery. As we have seen, once the seed was planted through the death and resurrection of Christ, the “middle wall of separation” was broken down, transforming a mortal, earthly body into an incorruptible spiritual identity.

In Part Two, we will move beyond the physical preservation of the lineage to explore the far-reaching influences of the spiritual seed in the modern world. We will examine the birth of an entirely new category of existence, a New Creation species that shares the very essence and identity of God, the Father.

The blueprint has been laid; now, we prepare to see the full expression of the Last Adam.
