A new seed is coming forth |
Romans 8:17 | And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. |
18 | For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. |
19 | For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. |
What does this mean?
There is an interesting verse of scripture in Isaiah 53
Isaiah 53:10 | Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. |
Jesus never married, He had no natural children yet Isa 53:10 tells us He would see His seed and prolong His days on the earth through this seed.
Psalm 22 is a messianic Psalm that means that this Psalm is prophetic of the crucifixion of Jesus and redemptive work of Jesus at Calvary.
Note: verse 1. The words which Jesus would speak while He was hanging on the
Cross. “My God why hast thou forsaken me?” this was written long before Jesus came to this earth.
Then verse 22 says this. A seed shall serve Him and it shall be accounted to Him as a generation.
It was a shameful thing for a man in the days of Jesus to die without having any children to carry on His family seed. Yet the bible said Jesus would see His seed.
In Mathew chapter one it states that there were 42 generations from Abraham to Jesus. See verse 17.
However if you carefully count the generations as described in Mat 1, you will find that there are only 41 not 42 generations.
There is a missing generation, where is that generation?
Psalm 22:30 | A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation. |
31 | They (this seed) shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this. |
This 42nd generation is about to come forth in the earth in its fullness.
There is a seed coming forth in the earth which Satan fears for this seed spells the demise of his rule in the earth.
Psalm 102 gives us more insight into this
Psalm 102:13 | Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come. |
16 | When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory. |
18 | This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD. |
28 | The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before thee. |
The whole of creation is waiting for the coming forth of this seed, this generation in the earth. There will be a generation of people in the earth in these last days who will truly manifest the life, power, and nature of Jesus. This generation the seed of the Lord Jesus will move throughout the earth in such power and glory bringing a living Christ to a dying world. They will prolong the days of Jesus in the earth; the world will again see Jesus walking this earth in His seed, His sons. The best is yet to come.
Romans 8:29 | For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. |
Hebrews 2:10 | For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. |
God will never be satisfied until He sees the image of His son Jesus in us.
Hebrews 2:10 | For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. |
In all things Jesus is our example; it is His purpose that we become like Him. All of life’s difficulties, disappointments heartaches, serve to fashion us more and more into His image. God is love and as we become love we start to be conformed into His likeness, for that’s what God is, love. It is not the circumstances of life that changes us, but how we reacted to them. Hard times can either make you bitter or better, the choice is yours, we prove ourselves by our responses to life’s adverse circumstances.
Romans 8:18 | For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. |
19 | For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. |
Romans 8:29 | For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. |
James 5:7 | Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. |
8 | Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. |
