THE HOLY SEED IS ALWAYS IN JEOPARDY!
by Reginald (Reggie) Lisemby
The spiritual battle that God proclaimed in Genesis 3 (Holy War is biblical and YHWH proclaimed it, not satan) is a legal one. God is bound to His spiritual laws for by them He exists and by His spiritual laws heaven and earth, all creation functions. God cannot bully His way through eternity because He is God. When Adam lost his God-image and his position as God’s Viceroy over the realm of earth that was given to him by God, God could not take it back by brute force just because God is God. God must win back the realm of heaven and earth and His monarch, Adam legally! Two-thousand years ago, Yoseph and Miriam had to obey God and “run for their lives”down to Egypt from BeitLechem since Herod was coming. Herod came and he murdered all the babies in the city of David. The seed was in jeopardy.
When the Apostle Shaul/Paul wrote to warn believers of demons, powers of darkness, principalities in hierarchy [places] he was in essence saying that spiritual beings, spiritual battle, human life and death operate by spiritual rules and laws. Be warned! Therefore, “put on the armor to stand…having done all to stand.”Satan is a roaring lion that does devour, and he is not toothless; he can hurt us. Thankfully, Yoseph listened and obeyed the angel in his dream and “got out of town”quickly. What is God telling you to do?
The “seed of woman”was promised at the beginning in Genesis 3 as God’s declaration of war, spiritual war on the serpent, the devil. Genesis 3:15 is the “Mother Prophecy”of all biblical prophecies; the verse is termed in Latin, protoevangelium meaning“first gospel.”Following that first prophecy not only did the patriarchs begin “looking”for the coming of “the Seed,”but all spiritual beings in the atmosphere began to investigate the terms of God’s war and His prescription of the coming champion.
When Cain murdered Abel, the messianic seed was in jeopardy. Yet, God gave Seth. When Satan immediately began to devise a program to clone human DNA and to intermarry and amalgamate with human women (for by woman the seed is coming) the messianic seed who must be pure human was in jeopardy. Yet, God saved Noach and his family. When Sarah was taken by Abimelech into his harem, the Seed was in jeopardy. But God cursed Abimelech’s house. When God was considering destroying the entire nation of Israel and the seed of woman was in jeopardy, Moshein the spirit of Yeshua moved upon God as mediator, and said “kill me instead!”
Two-thousand years ago, in the shadows of the dark, dank, cavity in the earth, the place where Yeshua was born, in the presence of Yoseph, Miriam, the cattle, sheep, and other things present, though unseen, the destroyer was there; he was there to kill the Seed of Woman the moment He was born (Revelation 12). The recourse God had -since Yeshua was now a man- was to move upon Yoseph to escape the Seed and his human parents out from the grasp of Herod.
Why didn’t God simply give Herod cancer, a heart attack, a stoke, or a camel-wreck and have the wretch fall off the precipice of a cliff? God does not always protect us from bullies, from diseases, from spiritual powers. We must listen very attentively to Him and obey Him. The seed of woman had been in jeopardy since Genesis 3, throughout the generations of the stories of the Holy Scriptures, and then especially what we call today, Christmas night. Yes, it was Lailah Kadosh or a holy night, but it was also a Lailah Choshech, a night of darkness!
Beloved, did you know that you were also promised? Believers in Yeshua are like Yeshua;we were foreknown, predestined, determined, known in the embryo, chosen in the birth-canal, and convicted and drawn to Yeshuain life. Thus, like Yeshua our spiritual brother, we constitute the “holy seed.” Satan is not omniscient, he does not know everything, but he knows God’s design, and he recognizes (sometimes) God’s holy seed!
