The protected seed

0 Conversations

Here is the evidence that one of the themes of the bible is the creator’s protection of the seed of the promise
========================================
(Genesis 3:15) And I shall put enmity between you and the woman and between your seed and her seed. He will bruise you in the head and you will bruise him in the heel.”

(Genesis 12:7) Jehovah now appeared to Abram and said: “To your seed I am going to give this land.

(Genesis 15:13) You may know for sure that your seed will become an alien resident in a land not theirs, and they will have to serve them, and these will certainly afflict them for four hundred years.

(Genesis 15:18) On that day Jehovah concluded with Abram a covenant, saying: To your seed I will give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates:

(2 Samuel 7:12-13) then I shall certainly raise up your seed after you, which will come out of your inward parts; and I shall indeed firmly establish his kingdom. He is the one that will build a house for my name,


(Psalm 89:3-4) I have concluded a covenant toward my chosen one; I have sworn to David my servant, 4 ‘Even to time indefinite I shall firmly establish your seed, And I will build your throne to generation after generation.

(Acts 3:25) You are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant which God covenanted with your forefathers, saying to Abraham, ‘And in your seed all the families of the earth will be blessed.



(Galatians 3:16-18) Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. It says, not: “And to seeds,” as in the case of many such, but as in the case of one: “And to your seed,” who is Christ. Further, I say this: As to the covenant previously validated by God, the Law that has come into being four hundred and thirty years later does not invalidate it, so as to abolish the promise. For if the inheritance is due to law, it is no longer due to promise; whereas God has kindly given it to Abraham through a promise.
