The Serpent Seed IV – The Seed of the woman.

In the sermon, three kind of believers, the prophet laid out for us that there these three characteristics which categorise or segmenting our attitudes and faith towards God. A believer, an unbeliever and a make believer. If you likened a believer to be a dove, an unbeliever to be a crow, then a make believer would be a crow trying to put on peacock feathers. On the outside, he may look like a peacock, but the inside nature is still that of a crow. Stunning words but simple and true. The bible replete with these categories. Simeon, Anna and the eleven disciples would be the believers. Judas, the scribes and Pharisees would be the make believers and the Roman soldiers or even Pontius Pilate would be the unbelievers. We note that the make believers are the most dangerous of the three for they deemed the killing of the believers as a means of eradication much like the genocides, or ethnic cleansing (see how these murderers would make murders as cleansing?). This started in the garden with Cain being the first murderer of the righteous Abel.

The make believer would be one who use reason to try to probe into God's mind using his/her own feeble mental faculties. The believer would say Amen to every Word, but the make believer would accept only part of the Word and choose to ignore or add to the Word of God to satisfy his/her own comfort regardless of what the Word says. We also should note that God had never accepted the religious offers of these make believers starting from the offering of Cain. Many asked why did God not accept Cain's offering? Was his offering not as sincere as Abel? And wasn't Cain's offering cleaner and beautiful in contrast to Abel's messy and bloody slaughter of an innocent lamb? Why he brought before the altar of God, the best of fruits and flowers of the season. I believe you caught it by now. God looks at our character, our faith, not external beauty. Yes, it was not fruits but blood which should be the correct sacrifice because of what happened in the garden of Eden. The blood line was mixed. So Cain's offer was without revelation but Abel knew and his offering signified this knowledge (I rather say, revelation than knowledge) of why they were banished from the Tree of Life.

The Dove has no gall (bitterness towards anyone or anything), it survives on clean food,  but the crow can stomach rotten food and eat the dove's food as well. Therein lies the battles of the twins from Genesis to Revelation. Had they been real twins, they would be alike, but they are not real twins, because they have two different fathers but the same mother. And science give that a long name too, so that you can't remember what it was, but it was mixed parentage all the same (see The Serpent Seed I). Yes, the bible clearly tells us the serpent has a seed. Let's read :-

Gen 3:15
(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.

The reasoning mind will start to question this and assume that God is using a metaphor to describe the serpent seed because they cannot understand what is this enmity “between thee and the woman”? So they reject the second statement, that of the seed of the woman and the seed of the serpent. We know the seed of the woman was literal, none other than Jesus Christ. And the seed of the serpent would be literal too. The make believers would side-step it and say this part was just a metaphor to describe the hypocrites. Well we know the seed of the serpent was literal too, none other than Judas Iscariot, the son of perdition, born to perish. He struck once at Jesus by betraying Him to the authorities...Why, Judas, why? Were you not also His disciple? A believer? Now how could a believer do that to his Lord and Master, a betrayal? Because Cain was of the wicked one and Abel was righteous and innocent, wasn't the enmity between the serpent and the woman, as pronounced by God true, when Cain slew Abel? And if we know Jesus was the seed of the woman, (it shall bruise thy head) and thou shalt bruise its heel (Judas one time betrayal was enough to bruise the heel of the seed of the woman, causing Jesus to be lifted up from the earth, by which He would draw all men to Him). This inspires me to speak on the next article, The Serpent Seed V - The bruised serpent.

Joh 17:12
(12)  While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.

"None of them is lost," what wonderful confirmation to the believers. He keeps us because we belong to Him. Hallelujah!. You know Paul spoke of another son of perdition, who makes himself God, sitting in the temple of God calling himself God! A man pretending to be a deity. A religious man. Not just a businessman or a smart man, but all of it. One would be very blind to not able to identify who this man is today. Some authors taking advantage of the ignorant, tried to proclaim the coming of a superman, not from Krypton, but someone who would rule the economic world because of the mark of the beast, forbidding to buy and sell (to trade) if they do not take that mark in their foreheads or in their right hand.  These authors intentionally lied to their readers, when they ignore that this person sits in the temple of God. And worship too... a religious man speaking words of wonders (lying wonders) that the believers knowing these three colours of the apocalypse culminating in persecutions of the true seed of God and death follows his ride. White, Red and Black, mixing to become Pale and the rider of this Pale horse has a name, Death. God is the Tree of Life, certainly not Death. Partaking of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil was death. And that is Satan. Now you see who that AntiChrist rider was? Satan incarnated in a man. A false prophet mixes of the trinity of colours. Three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the dragon, the beast and the false prophet. O yes, this rider will gather the kings of the earth to the battle of the great day of God Almighty (Rev 16:13).

I would urge you, the reader, take hold of the Seven Church Age book and read it cover to cover. This paraphrase of the sermons, of the Seven Church Ages and the Seven Seals, Jezebel Religion and the Token is the only book to tell us these truths.

2Th 2:3-4
(3)  Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
(4)  Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

There was another man in the old testament who was born son of perdition though these words was not used on him. No, it was not Saul, the king who was later promised to be with Samuel in the Paradise of God, heaven's gate not being opened because the Redeemer, the King of Glory  had not come and risen, hence the promise of Jesus to the believing thief on the cross to His right, Today, thou shalt be with me in Paradise (the same place Samuel and all the old testament saints were, until He rose from the grave and many graves became opened and the old testament saints arose to follow Christ to the heavenly gates. Paradise being done away with till the full Restoration in the Millennium and beyond. Revelation 22 speaks of a new heaven and new earth, a new Paradise. I digressed here, but let us get back on track on the serpent seed and the seed of the woman. It was Esau even before he was born.  Because Paul told us in Romans  9:-

In the same chapter, Paul told us about Pharaoh being raised up for the same purpose to declare His Name throughout the earth by virtue of his conflict with God's prophet of the hour, Moses. And Moses was brought up in the same palace, an adopted brother. See the twins again. Jacob and Esau, Pharaoh and Moses. In heaven it was between Michael (Christ, the anointed Archangel, not Melchizedek nor Jesus Christ, but simply Christ, which means the anointed) and Lucifer.

Many able minds will interject and try to give you details that women have natural aversions (fear and avoidance) of a snake but in reality, some women keep snakes as their companions even using them for circus acts with snakes writhing around their bodies, the snake usually a python such as a boa constrictor (dicing with danger). Yes, some women are fascinated with snakes because of its beauty and graceful movements. We cannot help but notice that some of the sensual dances were actually mimicking these snake like movements, such as the swaying and twisting of the belly dancers, a common sensual dance from Egypt to Turkey. These dancers even dressed in the fascinating colours and patterns of these snakes.

The curse did not take that away, though some snakes do have vestiges of the two legs and you can find plenty of such information in today's world wide web or internet (see picture). This was what the theologians want us to believe, that the enmity between the serpent and the woman was this aversion after the curse. What was the snake before the curse, who was called the serpent? Snake can't talk and neither can they reason and articulate God's Word and intentionally lied about the truth. That serpent definitely demonstrated it was able to talk, reason and even coated (not quote) God's word and added some enticements for the woman, Surely you shall NOT die, he said, for God knows that you would be wise like Him, knowing good and evil. Yes before God spoke to it to curse it, the serpent could articulate, could reason and could hear human speech. And the serpent said unto the woman, "Ye shall NOT surely die;  for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil". (Gen 3:5)

That remark sank home onto the woman, because it was appealing to her eyes, her mind and finally her flesh, her reasoning casting a doubt on God's Word. She wanted that fruit, the serpent offered, because she was always looking for a better deal... Alas, a deal that would throw the whole mankind into chaos and evil and causing God himself to descend and intervene by His own death on the Cross to atone for our sins. Taking the penalty of sin was not a vicarious act, meaning God sent another to take His place.  No other persons or animals could be the atonement but God Himself. He could not  leave it for others because His children had stepped outside of His Word. And the consequence of that disobedience, unbelief throws the whole creation out of cater, the heavenly angels hide their faces, because of the wrath that is to come. The law giver Himself got to take the punishment to free them. He thread the winepress of the wrath of God.

It was God condescending to become a human being, through the spotless, sinless body flesh of God called the Son. It was God's only begotten Son).  A human temple,  of the invisible God. They thought He was bragging when He said, “destroy this temple, and I will raise  it up in three days!” They called Him mad, because they could not understand His parables. They were not metaphors but truths. For we offer true worship when we worship in spirit and in truth. Now you see why the make believers try to change the very text of the Holy Scriptures to suit their own theology? They tell you they have a better version and then passed you a book with coated words.

Manny Pacquiao, the fame boxer in the Philippines running to become a senator spoke from the bible in truth and see what the unbelievers and make believers tried to do to him? Brother Branham said, if the sodomites are accepted today, God is obligated to raise up Sodom and Gomorrah. Now they are saying maybe Manny's head was damaged in boxing. Lying wonders in action again though of a truth, if he go on as a boxer, one day, it might be like Cassius Clay taking that punch from another boxer Ken Norton in 1973 (click on the link) suffering a broken jaw and permanent damage.

Jesus' birth was foretold, the remedy for sin, immediately offered, when God knew His children, Adam and Eve had sin and He had to banish them from the Garden and guarded them from partaking of the Tree of Life. There was only one form of Eternal Life, and that is God's own Life. Zoe. He has no beginning and no ending, the Alpha and the Omega, the all in all. So God said to the serpent, It (the seed of the woman) shall bruise thy head and thou shalt bruise it's (the seed of the woman) heal. Notice the distinction of “shall bruise” and “shalt bruise”? Shall bruise, tells us of a continuous future tense, that Christ came first to die for the Church, then He comes to rapture the Church and third, He comes to finish the transgression, to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the Most Holy according to Daniel's vision, the sixfold purpose of His coming (Dan 9).

Satan knew that, and he was watching for it. He thought once he got Him on the cross, that He will die and he would inherit, but the missing stones (refer to The Serpent Seed III) in his makeup already tell us that Satan cannot be the redeemer, because he was and still is the perpetrator of sin.

And this revelation suddenly struck home to me as I write. Yes, even at this very moment.  I had always wondered why the one who qualified to be the redeemer of the property of Elimelech (a type of the earth), the restoration of the returned Jew, Noami and took the Gentile Wife, Ruth, refused to do that and the next worthy redeemer was Boaz, a type of Christ. And Boaz was the great grandfather of the giant killers. Now I understand. Because he, the one ahead of Boaz could not be the redeemer, because sin, which is  unbelief originates from him. Satan has dirty hands and cannot take hold of the title deed to the earth. He therefore is a squatter and the day will come when he will be evicted, his kingdom destroyed by the Glory of the Lord.  That would be Satan's lot. For him to be the redeemer would make him reverse all the evil he had done and he did not want to lose that right. There is nothing good in Satan and 1 John 3:12 says Cain was of the wicked one. Certainly Adam was not wicked. How plain does anyone want before they can see the simplicity of the gospel. That is our Absolute.

See where the seed of the Serpent lead us and why God determined that the seed of Judah, which was the seed of Abraham, which was the seed of Seth to destroy the giants in Canaan. When we see that both righteous parents, Isaac and Rebekah could give birth to a Jacob and an Esau, we stopped finding for physical evidence of the seed of the serpent. We know the blood could be mixed and yet differs in types (group A, B, AB and O) and also Rhesus positive or negative. There is also a rare blood group, Type HH (an O variant) or Bombay Blood, thought to be amongst group of communities of like parentage. Yet, this is that one blood which Paul spoke of (Acts 17:26)  (In this article, I seemed to have spoken often of Paul. Am I a Paul worshipper because of that)? So when I quote Brother Branham often, some called me a man worshipper, but you should know better as you read my articles. It is all about our Lord Jesus Christ, not even worshipping Mary, the mother of God, some wants to call her that. Yet she was one of those who staggered as drunken when the Holy Spirit came upon the 120 disciples, and the bible reminded us that Mary was amongst that 120 receiving the baptism of the Holy Ghost as all believers should. None exempted. Did Manny Pacquiao understand when he said  that "Yes, every Christian must be born again" as did Jesus spoke to Nicodemus in John 3.
 

And as I share part of this article in our church service this evening, I caught what I need to write in our next instalment, the next article in continuation. The Serpent Seed V - The bruised serpent on a pole.The Lord bless you for reading this.

60-1225  GOD'S.WRAPPED.GIFT_  JEFFERSONVILLE.IN  V-14 N-8  SUNDAY_
104    That's what He was; He was a Diamond. "And He was wounded for our transgressions; He was bruised for our iniquity. The chastisement of our peace was upon Him, and with His stripes we were healed." Oh, them rays of God's love and Light reflects from Him healing power, love, resurrection. God wounded Him, and bruised Him, and chopped Him, and cut Him by a Roman sword, and a--and a--a Roman whip, until His sides was riven, and the Blood running out of His back, and was over His head, and down through His beard, and off of His feet. But what was He doing? He was reflecting love. He embraced the cross; instead of a soft, feathered pillow; a manger of straw. Instead of a little, pink gown to wear; a swaddling cloth.

105    Oh, brother, can you see what the depths of love is? I was speaking to some people in my home the other night. No one could ever tamper with how deep God's love is. That, "Oh, love of God, how rich, how pure!" That last verse, or the first verse, I believe it is, was found on the wall of an insane institution.
