Gen 11:3-9. The two SEEDS
In the Garden, two seeds were prophesied to come from man. One was the seed of the serpent whose nature was implanted in man when they listened to his voice and obeyed him. The other was the seed that was prophesied to come from the woman that would crush the serpent\’s head, which was Christ. With the first two sons born, we see the beginning of the nature of each of these seeds. The Bible is the history of the development of these two seeds in men, and God\’s dealings with them. One brings forth Christ, and the other, when it is fully matured, brings forth the antichrist. This story of the Tower of Babel is a profound revelation of the seed that will bring forth the antichrist. This is the root of that which becomes “Mystery Babylon” in the Book of Revelation.
We tend to think of the serpent only in its most blatantly evil nature. However, the tree whose fruit brings death is the knowledge of both good and evil. The good side of the Tree of Knowledge is just as deadly as the evil side, and far more deceptive. Satan\’s most deceptive guise is when he comes as “an angel of light” (see 2 Cor 11:14), or what could have been translated, “a messenger of truth.” Satan has always been able to do more damage to the truth when he works through religious men, which is why the most religious men of the time were the greatest opponents of Christ. However, the true nature of such religious men can usually be discerned as those who tried to build the Tower of Babel. We have seen how the first black President of the United States of America was religiously singing Amazing grace he was also rejoicing with gay people.
- The number 7 represents perfection, fullness and completion or completeness.
- God instituted the Sabbath on the 7th day of the week as a day of rest to signify His perfect and finished work of creation. (Gen 1:31; 2:1-3; Heb 4:4) Jesus accomplished a perfect and finished redemption on the cross on the 6th day of the week (John 19:30-31; 17:4).
- Sabbath means to cease, desist, “rest”. Adam and Eve’s first day on earth was in God’s Sabbath rest, so also is man’s salvation found in “rest” by faith in Christ’s accomplished perfect work of redemption on the cross and not by works of any kind.
- Pray that you will get a revelation of and enter into the rest that remains with the people of God.
- Pray that you will learn to do all things in Sabbath rest. (Exodus 20:8-11, Hebrews 3:7-4:11).
