So I’m so glad you’re all here this morning. And the title of my message this morning is the seed of the woman. That’s found in the book of Genesis. And this is the first time I’ve ever tackled this topic, but it’s certainly a worthy topic, the seed of the woman. None of us realize that women have seeds. We thought they had eggs and the men had the seeds.
But in Genesis three, talks about the seed of the woman. And I hope that if you’ve had some questions that those questions can be addressed even today. I wanna begin by just making a statement. When the enemy showed up in the Garden of Eden to address the woman, he was after the man, but he went after the man through the woman. And when he went after her in a charming, delightful way, he charmed her. And she said, when the Lord said, what have you done? She says he was so charming.
He beguiled me, he tricked me. He was so good at it. And so I just want you to know what he was up to? He knew that these two people, Adam and Eve, were gonna be very, very special in days to come. They were the mother and the father, you would know, of God’s children. And what Satan wanted to do is get their eyes off of God and on the devil, and it worked. So this morning, I want to take you through a little bit of a passage.
I want us to look in the book of Genesis. So in Genesis chapter two, it says, then the Lord took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden. So, you know, in my mind, I see Adam laying on a beautiful garden area in Eden, and the Lord does his work there, but it says the Lord took the man, and it says it a couple of times in this story.
So I don’t know how to work all that out. If you have an answer, I’d love to hear it. The Lord took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to tend and keep it.So the garden in the first place was not a place like we toil. I worked on the farm. I know what it is to work with cows and horses and pigs.I know what it is to work on the harvest. I’ve worked very, very hard at that, and I learned some good things on the farm, but it’s hard work. Tending to the Garden of Eden was not hard work.
Adam didn’t have to plant anything. He didn’t have to reap anything. He could just go and enjoy it and tend to it. We don’t know exactly what tend means. Doesn’t really matter, but it was a simple task, but because of the fall, because of their sinfulness, because of their shameful independence of God, the whole earth became cursed. That’s a proper word. That’s what the Lord said to Adam. Because of you, the ground is gonna be cursed. There’s gonna be thistles.
There’s gonna be trouble. You’re gonna have to work by the sweat of your brow to get a meal coming forward. But originally, it was put in the garden to tend it. And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, of every tree of the garden, you’re free to eat. You’re free to eat. I wanna pause just a moment. It says in verse 16, and the Lord God commanded the man. Where’s the woman? She’s not there yet. He commanded the man, every tree is free for you to eat.
But the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you’ll not partake. In the day that you eat it, you shall surely die. Because the woman was not standing there, that means that Adam had the responsibility of when she was brought to him. She, by the way, was taken out of him first. I’ve said this in this pulpit many times. When God made Adam, simultaneously, he was making the woman.
Because everything that the woman was composed of came from him. So that when the Lord brought him this woman, he exclaimed, she’s bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh. Somehow, Adam immediately understood how this process had taken place.
So God took from him the woman and brought him back this woman. His responsibility, then, I believe, was to educate the woman and to share with her, if nothing else, we’re welcome to eat anything that we want in this garden, but we’re not to experience evil. We’re not to even go anywhere near that tree of darkness, despondency, and rebellion. If we ever partake of the tree, we’re claiming our independence. We know everything, apparently, except we don’t know good and evil. And somehow, God doesn’t want us to know good and evil.
Little children, I believe I experienced this. I can’t remember it, but surely, I asked my mother why, on many occasions, and she said, “‘Cause you’re my son, that’s why.” But I wasn’t, no, you can’t go to see Mickey Mouse at the theater. Our preacher said, if the rapture takes place and you’re sitting there enjoying Mickey Mouse, you’re going to hell. I was actually tough. I cried, please, mommy, please let me go and see Mickey. I was enthralled with Mickey.
No, you’re not allowed. Why? “‘Cause I said so, that’s why.” So here’s Adam saying to Eve, do not go near that tree. God knows something and he doesn’t want us to know it. And you know, there’s just something in all of us, when you’re told, don’t touch. If you’d never said anything, I wouldn’t bother, but as soon as you said, don’t touch, dear God, I wouldn’t touch it. Well, it’s beautiful. It’s wonderful to touch, but you’re not allowed to. This is the most delightful fruit, but don’t you taste it. They had the understanding that to touch that tree was independence, it was rebellion, and it was not done out of love for their creator.
The Lord God then, I want you to see this. That passage, Genesis two, up to verse 22, you shall not touch it. The woman’s not there. How do I know that? God said, it’s not good for man to be alone. I will make a helper for him. Out of the ground, the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every fowl of the air and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them. He never called one of them wife. Whatever Adam called every living creature, that from that day was its name. I’m excited to think about this.
When God created Adam, he gave him the ability to communicate so that he could communicate with God. That’s supreme. It’s good that you and I can talk, but to know that you can talk to God and you can understand him when he speaks to you, and it also provides for our social interaction. It’s an important factor. And so the Lord God says to Adam, I want you to call these animals. And Adam somehow very creatively came up with all these names.
So he gave them the name of cattle and fowl of the air. He named every beast of the field. But watch this. But for Adam, there was not found any person comparable or anywhere near him. Adam was given the responsibility. The Lord said, we are gonna look for a wife for you. And the next thing the Lord says, and by the way, here’s some choices right now. Let’s see what you call these. And all these animals passed before Adam and he’d say cow, but this isn’t my wife.
Moose, nice antlers, but no, I want nothing. He was looking for a wife. We know that because at the end of the day, he’d named all these animals, but not one of them was worthy of him.
Why? He didn’t understand the why, but he needed, he needed for that which he would embrace that it was already a part of him. When he saw the woman, he knew she’s bone to my bone. She’s flesh of my flesh. She doesn’t have scales. She used a lot of noxima, oxima. No, I don’t.
Get out of there, David. You just went down a rabbit trail, you dummy. So he names all these animals. So God takes a rib. Verse 22, the Lord God caused a deep sleep to come upon him and he slept. So the guy, he’s sedated.
Have you ever been sedated? And while he’s out, God breaks off a rib. Pastor Dave, he didn’t have to break. He could have taken it in any way he could have. Yes, he could have, but you see, this is a foreordained picture of the wounding of the side of Jesus. We came out of his wounds. We came out of what he suffered at the cross. So Adam had to suffer just a little bit so that he would have a wife. And Jesus calls us his bride. He’s the groom.
So what came out of him comes back to him. Jesus could not accept us. We were like the animals of the world that passed before Adam. No, no, no, no, no, no. We were like them. It wasn’t until God, through Jesus, crafted a bride, that’s who we are. And we came out of him. The Bible says that when he was on the cross, we were in him. Paul the apostle says, when he went into the grave, we were in him.
Just as Eve was in Adam’s person before she was birthed out of his side, so we were in Christ when he was on the cross. When he rose again from the dead, we were in him. And now we walk in newness of life. He takes the rib, and he made a woman, and he brought her to the man. Genesis 3.12. The man says, in response to the Lord, they partook of the fruit. They partook of the nasty stuff. It looked good to the eye. It was delicious to the taste. And it was gonna make her wise.
So the enemy comes along, and he says, why don’t you eat of this fruit? Well, the Lord says, if I eat the fruit, it’s gonna go bad. He says, he didn’t really mean that bad. He put a question in her mind. Are you sure? Why would the Lord even put a tree here, and it’s poison, and it’s gonna kill you? Why would God even do that? He put all these questions in her, and he was trying to let her know, you’re an intelligent woman. Let’s talk about this. He made her feel good about herself.
This is interesting. When she partook of the fruit, there’s no record that she discussed it with Adam. No record. So when she partook of the fruit, now let’s remember, Adam was first, and she came forth from him. She was subject to him. I’m not saying she was lesser, but by just the process, God created him and put him in the garden, and had him name the animals.
Then she came forth. So she was already at a different level than Adam, and she should have respected him, and should have been subjected to him. I’m going to that toward the end of the service, toward the end of my message, and I said to April, when I’m done all this, all the women might chase me out the door.
I don’t care if you chase me out the door. Don’t hit me with that heavy purse. Aha. But I’m gonna say some things today that just might cause the wrinkles to go out on your face as your face starts to explode. How come, Adam, you guys have done this? And instead of saying, oh, Lord, I know this was an act of rebellion. I do love you, Lord.
Well, you see, when God created him, Adam and Eve were in love with the Lord. In love, totally in love. He loved them, they loved him back. They loved him. They were dependent upon him. Okay? They respected him and they were obedient to him. But when she reached out to that fruit, she was declaring her independence from Adam. And it’s interesting that Adam comes along, and he might’ve been not very far away, but she takes over and she says, hey, I’ve traded and it’s great. So she takes the leadership position.
She says, this is what we should do, Adam. This is what we should do. She was trying to control him. And you say, was that her purpose to begin with? Here’s my concept. If you have another concept, you’re welcome to it. I’m right, you’re already wrong, and the service hasn’t even concluded. I believe that the moment she tasted that fruit, the darkness came into her soul. And when the darkness came into her soul, she first of all tasted the fruit thinking, he won’t care, Adam won’t care. I’m just gonna check it out.
This devil, the snake, the serpent, he’s such a nice guy. We can’t understand that. We don’t get excited about snakes. But our deplorative feelings towards snakes has everything to do with the Garden of Eden. God commanded, he says, you’re gonna be on there. Everybody’s gonna hate you from now on, and women do. Well, a few men do. Depends if it’s an anaconda in the jungle. I don’t like them either. There’s a few snakes I don’t like. But when she partook of that fruit, I believe at the moment that it was in her person, her intellect was messed up. There suddenly was no longer a beautiful unity between her and the garden, right? She’s bringing about a curse on the garden.
They’re gonna get ejected. They couldn’t stay in that garden any longer. She messed with a beautiful symmetry between the garden and the man and the woman who were there to dress it and enjoy it. She now messed up her relationship with Adam. She now knew what God didn’t want them to know, and she knew ahead of Adam. So she says, I’m gonna teach him, and I’m gonna show him. She declared her independence of God. She declared her independence of the man. And she’s been independent and rebellious ever since. Thus saith the word. Sorry, ladies. This is not a happy day for the feminists if they’re tuning in.
What have you done? Instead of saying, Lord, I know I made a mistake. Can you get over this? No, he doesn’t do that. He’s already tasted of the fruit, and his mind is now corrupted.
His spirit is corrupted. There’s darkness in his soul. He’s declared his independence. He has disobeyed, and he’s forsaken his first love. And what does he say? Adam, what have you done? You know that woman that you gave me? He’s accusing her. No, he’s accusing God. This is your fault. You said, I should have married the cow. Maybe he did.
You gave her to me. You’re part of this mess that we’re in. And there are ungodly preachers today in pulpits who would even play with even that thought. Did God plan the fall? Did God, was God part of the engineering of this whole thing? That is what comes out of seminaries today. Hello? It’s her fault. Then the Lord turns to the woman, and he says, what have you got to say for yourself? She says, you know that nice fellow that you created, and you put him in the garden? He was the nicest of the whole works.
I didn’t understand the cow when the cow said moo, but I did understand that serpent when he said, you’re a wonderful lady. I’d like to share some truths with you. He’s the father of lies. He’s the father of lies. So here’s the woman saying, not my fault. Adam says, not my fault, it’s hers.
The woman says, not my fault, it’s yours. Why did you create such a nice snake? And so it goes from good to bad to ugly. This is not a movie. This is our reality. The devil tricked me, and that’s how come I ate fruit. In other words, I’m not guilty.
Do you know what? Try going out as I have done many times, especially on this side of the world. It’s the educated people. You go to, I can go to any African village and shout, buona asafiwe, which means praise the Lord. They will come like flies to honey. But you get out on any place in this country and say, you are a sinner. And they say, I am not a sinner. You don’t use that word. It’s in the word of God. All have sinned and come short of the glory of God.
So we are argumentative the moment we come out of the womb. The first thing I noticed that my babies could say was no. My daughter was saying no before she said daddy, no. Stubborn, unbelievable. It’s easier for us to sin than it is to walk in righteousness. The apostle Paul says that. He says, I wanna do what’s good, but it’s like a magnet, it keeps on drawing me back. You can thank Eve and Adam for that. Did you notice how I put the names in line? You can thank Eve and you can thank Adam because he is guilty also.
The Lord says of the woman, you’re in trouble with me, but he deals with the devil first. He literally did start this. So he says to the devil, so you thought you could get away with this. You thought you were gonna mess up my whole plan. Well, I’ll tell you what I’m gonna do. These are David’s words. I’m just interpreting, I’m doing commentary on the story that I’ve read. God essentially says, you’ll use the woman to bring down the human race. I’m gonna use the same woman to bring about redemption for the race. I’m gonna mess you up, devil. You were a liar and you believed your own lie. You’re gonna learn the hard way.
You are gonna learn the hard way. Genesis 3.15, the Lord says to the devil, I’m gonna put hatred. I’m gonna cause a war between you and the woman. You say, David, it isn’t God that’s causing the war.
Oh yeah. You see, when the Lord speaks into your heart and declares you justified, cleanses your heart of sin, redeems you and writes your name in the Lamb’s Book of Life, you are immediately at war with the enemy of your soul. No, there was already a war and you were already succumbing to it. You were already almost finished, but Jesus came and he paid the price and he pulled you out of the abyss. But there’s still going on a war in your members, as the word of God puts it.
There’s always a war going on. But that mention to her of there’s gonna be enmity between your seed and the devil, her seed is all humanity. But there’s more to that. It’s a double principle. It’s a double prophetic word. You see, Genesis 3.15 is the first mention, the third chapter of the entire Bible and this is the first prophetic word. There’s going to be a redeemer. And why is the devil after her seed? Who is her seed? Well, you see, God speaks to Abraham and essentially he says, look, I created all of them, but you’re mine. You are going to come forth as a jewel for my crown.
I’m gonna bless you and your seed. I’m gonna bless your seed. I’m gonna bless your family. The whole world’s gonna know your name. I’m giving you a piece of property called Israel. The prime minister of Canada doesn’t get it, but that’s his problem, not yours. The whole European union is against Israel and they’re declaring the Hamas won the war and they deserve their piece of property. But they’re wrong. They’re not gonna win.
They’re not gonna win with Judea and Samaria. They might want a few skirmishes, but at the end of the day, the devil and his minions, the devil and his seed, the devil and his seed, those who come forth from his hatred and his bitterness. When you people have dancing in the streets of Canada, Toronto, all over the world, from the river to the sea, that’s hatred. You ask them, what did the Jews do to you? They haven’t got a clue. They don’t know. They were taught in universities that the Jews are bad. And so they just swallow it. You see, when you go to university, you’re not allowed anymore to come against what they’re teaching you. There are good teachers in universities and many of them are losing their jobs because they’re refusing to play the game.
But university is no longer a place to jive back and forth and communicate and debate and come to wonderful truths and wonderful concepts. No, when you go to the university, you will learn what we’re teaching you and that’s what caused Jordan Peterson to lose his job. He said, I’m not playing the game. They said, you’re out, you’re out until you can learn to speak the way we tell you to learn, you’re finished. And now they’re even, I think they’re trying to take away even his license to even speak from his posture on what is truth. He’s not allowed to call. If you were to meet my wife, he’s not allowed to call her, her. He gotta call her it. Like, you have to learn all your pronouns.
They’ve actually apparently created a syllabus to teach him how to speak again. One of the smartest men in Canada and they’re gonna teach him how to speak. This is the works of the enemy. This is the seed of the devil coming against us. But you see, when the Lord said to the devil, I’m gonna create problems between your seed and her seed. He was talking about what’s gonna usher forth from you, not just seed as a flower produces seed, but everything that you produce.
So what came out of Eve simply because of all of humanity was the bloodline of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the bloodline of the Jewish, the chosen people. And so that’s how the enemy is against Christ all the way. Look at all the problems that even came in the family where the enemy poisoned the brothers of Joseph. This was the chosen family, the chosen people. And they actually came against brothers against brothers. They sold Joseph into slavery. Why? Because they became jealous of the way the daddy took care of his son. Is the daddy of Joseph guiltless? No, no, no, he was a problem. He did disregard what he should have done to try and treat the brothers on an equal basis.
But he got carried away and he did pay special attention. But then you see the devil whispered to those brothers and said, look how your brother is being treated. Look how his dad. And you see, Joseph was in the line toward the Messiah. And so you see the fight going on constantly. When the Pharaoh says, I want all the Jewish boys to be killed. That was the seed of the devil. There’s enmity between the two family lines. I’m gonna cause trouble. Nothing like my trouble, my computer quit. That’s it, the anointing’s gone. Try it again, Dave, let’s see how you do.
Maybe it’s this thing that quits. Oh, that’s wonderful. Okay, I do have to depend upon the Lord. Okay, here we go. And my notes are on the ground too. Shut that thing off. I don’t want the world to know that there’s daylight between here and here. Oh, continue sharing, fine. So the disaster that comes. I will put hatred between the man and the woman. And so this is the first mention of the redemptive plan of the Lord, speaking of her seed. So the offspring of the Messiah is gonna come against the offspring of the satanic work.
So she chose the independence of God. She chose independence from Adam. And so her independence carries on. Now there’s a unique thing that goes on. The Lord says to Adam, because you listened to the woman, was he never supposed to listen to her? Of course he was. Remember I said, was it a couple of years ago, I played a little video for you up here. A tiny little boy, and his mother’s name is Linda. Do you remember that one? I played it for you. We were laughing so hard, we were getting the service back in order because the video was of a little fellow and the mother was saying, no, you’re not allowed to do it.
And this little kid about this tall goes like, yeah, he calls his mother. He says, Linda, Linda, listen here. She says, no, no, no, you listen. No, Linda, you listen to me. It’s an amazing little thing. And you realize children learn from mom. If you say, you listen, you listen, that’s the words he’s gonna repeat back to you. And so should Adam have listened to Linda, Eve? Sure he should have, but he should have listened to the master first. The Lord said, don’t touch the tree.
Adam knew that, but he listened to the woman. And the Lord says, you’re gonna pay dearly for that because this woman and every woman that proceeds from you is gonna try and act out what she did with you in the garden. She tried to manipulate you and it worked. You better check this out. And it was a sinister spirit that was in her that caused her to do this. So the Lord says to Adam, she’s gonna continuously try and usurp authority over you. And she’s gonna cause family troubles to go on because you listened to her. It’s gonna be endless, the Lord says. And it’s gonna go on and on and on. So I’m just thinking about all these wonderful movements that the women have come up with. Feminism. Feminism is the spirit of Eve.
She won’t listen to Adam. She won’t listen to God. She says, that’s what you need to do. And the Lord said, her spirit’s gonna continue on. I told you you’re not gonna like this. Don’t throw your purse. But you watch enough of that stuff. I can’t handle it, but there’s a program on TV. Why would a man like me even watch a program called The View? Oh, I got a response. Do you watch that? No, I would vomit. It’s sick. Those women, listen, listen, listen, Linda, listen. Those women hate men. Pastor, that’s a little strong. No, no, no, no.
These are quotes. All men are useless. That was said on The View or on that table. All those pretty ladies with them, they’re useless. All they wanna talk about is sports and cars and all men stuff. But they’re missing a point. There’s been a poll taken across America and the women were asked, do you need a man? And one third of the women of America said, I can do without a man. But they asked the men, could you do without a woman? And the majority said, I need my wife. So you see, the women of The View are missing the point.
They’re trying to push this and it’s not going very far. But masculinity even in this country is being pushed down. Pastor, those are strong words. Let me tell you a story from our house. This goes back many years. This is not a new idea. Here’s the story. Our son was about five, five and a half years of age and he’s in his first year of school. He comes home one day, he’s coming home from kindergarten and the kid is despondent and he doesn’t even wanna go back to school anymore.
I don’t wanna go there. So his mother drills down and says, Davy, what is your problem? I don’t wanna be a girl. Well, you don’t have to be a girl, you’re already a boy. My school teacher wants me to be a girl. What are you talking about? She’s making me play with dollies. I’m not allowed to go with trucks. You know, they’d have sandboxes with trucks. I’m not allowed to play with the boys. I have to play with the girls’ toys, she says. And what about the girls? They have to play with my toys. The girls are playing with the boys’ toys and the boys have to play with the girls’ toys. My wife goes over to the school.
She’s a little person, but don’t mess with her. I have all the bruises. She goes to the school and she confronts the teacher and the teacher is one of these. She’s a typical Eve. She says, Mrs. Forrest, you have to understand something. It’s our responsibility to give the kids a broad view of life. I’m putting words in the teacher’s mouth. I wasn’t there, but I’m remembering generally what the teacher told April. We’re giving the children a general, you know, a nice landscape. They need to understand that when they become men, they need to appreciate what the women go through and the women, when the husband comes home, they have to appreciate where the men have been. They’re gonna learn that in kindergarten as they’re playing with an Easy-Bake Lovin’ Oven with holding a dolly. They’re gonna learn all about motherhood.
No, no, no. And so April said, you’re not gonna have my son if you’re gonna try and turn him into a girl. Ain’t gonna happen. The other thing, by the way, that happened was that I went to a school meeting. Parents were invited and they were telling us how they’re gonna teach children about sex. Our children, our son is five, our daughter is maybe seven, and they’re gonna teach them about sex.
And I’m not gonna go on and on and on about that, but I mean, pretty soon it involves condoms. It involves all kinds of things that Bill Clinton brought into our attention. Like, it just goes on and on and on and on and on. Because you see, these children need to be taught. Doesn’t matter what the word of God says. You can defy God. It’s not gonna go well. You can defy God. You can defy the order of God. And the little boy, here’s another story. I might get cut off the internet for this because it’s called hate speech, I suppose. Does the truth really have to be labeled as hate speech?
This is a true story. Friend of mine, pastor. Pastor of Nova Scotia. I won’t mention the town. I don’t want him to go into handcuffs. They can come and get me. He has a lady from his church come to his office and she’s beside herself. She says, what’s the problem? My son doesn’t wanna go to school. This kid is like grade six, grade seven. Probably not that far. It couldn’t have been that far because here’s what happened in the classroom. All the children were given a box, a brand new box of crayons. This actually happened.
Everybody got a box of crayons. And the children were all told, take a crayon out of the box. Any color that you want. You take a crayon out and you draw a nice little picture for me. A picture of anything that you wanna draw. Just draw a picture for me. Pick a crayon. Then she went around and she’s looking over the kid’s shoulder. When she came to a certain little boy, she said, you know, you are a little girl because you chose purple.And girls like purple. Boys don’t like purple. You’re a little girl. I hope you’re happy about that. You’re such a cute little girl. The kid came home and said, I don’t wanna be a girl, mommy.
This is feminism. This is feminism. This is the problem. He charmed me. He convinced me. He moved me. In Luke’s gospel, chapter one, in the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, God sent an angel to Gabriel, the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. This is so interesting. The Lord says in the garden to the woman, your seed, your seed. But all the way through the Old Testament, I’ve studied the genealogies over the years. It’s very boring, but I have found gold in there. The genealogies never say, she begat, she begat, be she begat.
You’ve read them, haven’t you? Be honest. You slip over all those chapters. You never read those names, which are unprecedented. Come on, come on. You admit that. But I slow down and I start reading them things. It’s a great, it’s not good education. It’s just hard on your brain and it’s good for your brain. It says, he begat, he begat, he begat. It’s all about the man’s seed. But the Lord says to her, your seed. So the word seed there is a little different from the genealogy seed.
He begat, she begat, out of her, out of Eve. And now in reality, the woman that Eve is being spoken to about, your seed is gonna be Mary. Joseph is not even mentioned in Genesis.
And even in the gospels when Joseph is mentioned, he’s the other guy. He’s the good guy. And we could preach a sermon about how Joseph was faithful, how God used him, how he was kind, how an angel came. So Joseph was very responsible, but he was not in the bloodline that produced the master, the savior. The angel comes and speaks to the woman. And it’s a result of actually Isaiah chapter seven and verse 14, where it says, the Lord himself will give you a sign, the virgin, not a virgin, the virgin.
There was only one virgin being specified in Isaiah chapter seven. The virgin, Mary. Do you know that in the days just prior to Jesus being birthed in her womb, being planted in her womb, do you know that it was the desire of every young virgin in all of Israel that this prophecy would be fulfilled through them? That was the mother and the father to say to their little girls, you be pure, you be wonderful, honey. Don’t you be naughty. Don’t you carry on like your grandmother Eve. You be a good little girl because the Lord is looking for a little gal that he’s gonna treat wonderfully because a virgin is gonna conceive.
Now they can’t figure out how that’s gonna go, and that doesn’t matter. And the Lord says to her, the Lord is with you. Mary’s greatly troubled at the words and wondered what kind of greeting is this? But the angel says to her, don’t be afraid, Mary. You have found favor. You have found favor with God. You are the one he’s chosen. Eve, out of your bosom is gonna come the bloodline of the Redeemer. And Mary, you are part of that bloodline. You’re gonna play a very important role.
The devil hated that. Do not be afraid. You have found favor.You will conceive. Miraculously, she will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. He will be great.And we’ll be called the Son of the Most High. He will be great, Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of Father David, and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever. From the river to the sea, from the river to the sea, Jesus is gonna be the king of all the bodies floating in the Mediterranean. He will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever. Do you know how important the descendants are? Oh, my time’s gone.
The descendants of Abraham, Isaac, do you know they’re all gonna be raised from the dead? You say, Pastor, that’s, no, no, no, no. The moment that Jesus rose again from the dead, graves all over Israel opened up, and in Jerusalem, there were Old Testament saints walking around and saying, isn’t the love of Jesus something wonderful? There were people from the Old Testament saints who rose again from the dead. They’re all going to be raised from the dead, physically in heaven, physically in the millennium.
We’re gonna run into Abraham and Isaac and Japheth and all the rest of it, and David the king is gonna be raised up. He’s going to have a throne in the city of Jerusalem. He’s gonna be the prince over Jerusalem, and Jesus is the king of the planet. David, you’re all gonna meet David. You see, the devil’s trying to stop it. He’s trying to thwart it. So ladies, I’m not against you. I really wanna be your friend. I don’t know if I have to send you flowers this week or what I have to do, but the reason why the whole thing has just gone belly up and troublesome, Adam was guilty, of course he was.
Adam was as guilty as all, get out, but the woman led the way, and that’s just a fact. Can you handle the, of course you can handle the truth. There’s where it is, but you people have been redeemed, and we’re not like that. We’re not like our household, April respects me, and I love her, and we have mutual understandings in all kinds. Sometimes it takes years for us to come to the same conclusions. Okay, that’s how it’s gonna go, okay? But I’ve told her, and I don’t remember this has ever, I had to, had to, had to, had to happen, but if there’s no unity and we can’t come to it, it would be her responsibility to say, David, this thing is a heavy decision.
You go ahead, we can’t come together, so I will follow you. I’ll follow you. The women are to be subjective to their husbands, but in a loving way. Your wife will be subjective if she knows you love her, and if it’s your ultimate goal to please her and bring her great joy. It’s her privilege to say, not my problem, you fix it. Heavenly Father, thank you this morning for helping me to get through this very challenging, for me, a very challenging message, and I pray, oh God, that you will make it real to our hearts and our lives today.
Thank you. Thank you for what you did through the bloodline, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the rest of them. Thank you, Lord, that we are the recipients of all that you have accomplished.
Thank you, Lord Jesus, keep us true, we pray, and everyone said, Amen.
