The Serpent’s Seed
MATTHEW 13:24-30
24 ¶ Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. At harvest time, end-time, they came to know that there were two seeds planted in Genesis. Genesis is the seed book – Genes – what is planted in Genesis in seed form comes to harvest in Revelation at the end of the world in matured fruit form.
27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
MATTHEW 13:36-40 - Interpretation
36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.
37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
Referring to Lucifer - Satan
EZEKIEL 28:13
13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God;
I JOHN 3:11-12
11 ¶ For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
12 Not as Cain, who was of (begotten of) that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.
Before we start - We must remember - Truth is written yet hidden in the scriptures
LUKE 10:21 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.
Hidden from the wise – God doesn’t write things plainly in the bible like a novel -story, He hides the real truth by how he wrote it so that it has to be revealed, yet it is written, but written in a way that hides the real truth from becoming common knowledge, he reserves the true revelation for his own.
The Serpents Seed – Did he have a Seed, an offspring?
GENESIS 3:14-15
14 ¶ And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, (The serpent did something) thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
We see from these scriptures that the serpent has a seed on earth, just as sure as the woman had a seed in the virgin birth of Jesus Christ (the only time a woman had a seed outside of male instrumentality).
The Two Trees
GENESIS 2:9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
Notice the last two trees were not declared as “out of the ground.” They were different. What or who were these two trees?
Men are referred to as trees in the Scripture
JEREMIAH 17:7-8a
7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.
8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters,
LUKE 3:9
9 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
MARK 8:23-24
23 And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought.
24 And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.
Remember, Lucifer – Satan was in Eden (EZEKIEL 28:13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God;), Satan was this tree of the knowledge of good and evil, while Christ was the Tree or person of life.
GENESIS 3:1-7
1 ¶ Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast (Beast not Reptile) of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, (She miss quotes the word, God did not say that she could not touch it) lest ye die.
4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
6 ¶ And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. (covering their reproductive parts, guilt had been realised)
Woman’s judgement – Sorrow in Conception
16 ¶ Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
Look were the judgement was focused – conception in the passing of seed – how is seed passed? Through a sexual act. The punishment was directed to the place of the crime.
Man’s Judgement – Earth Cursed
17 ¶ And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
When anything is cursed by God it results in Death – Our bodies eat from the produce from a cursed ground, therefore we age and die)
Serpent’s Judgement – Changed Form
GENESIS 3:14
14 ¶ And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
The serpent in his original form was an upright creature that looked like a man – he was designed between the animal kingdom and the human specie, he could talk, he could walk, and his DNA or seed could mix with man and produce offspring - a new hybrid specie that wasn’t apart of God’s original creation – God had forbidden this - this new specie would not be apart of God's oridginal thought and therefore not a part of God - anything that is not a part of God will eventually die.
The serpent’s change into a snake as we know it today was a result of the curse, he had a complete body change into a snake, the very shape that he was changed into attests to the original sin and how his seed came into the earth.
GENESIS 4:1-2
1 ¶ And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD. She thought that she had a man from the Lord. (All life has to come from the Lord) But you see, once she had been deceived by taking the word of Satan instead of the Word of God, she then thought that whatever she said was right. She believed that Cain was from God. She accepted the devil's lie as the truth of God. That is exactly what we have now. Churches set themselves up as fountains of truth but yet the truth is not in them.
2 And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
Notice - One act by Adam and two children born. Who did the other act for the other child? Because Cain was of the wicked one, not of Adam (I JOHN 3:12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one), then he had to be the son of the serpent – The Serpent's Seed.
GENESIS 4:25
"And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth..."
Notice the exact way the record of God sets forth the account of the births of Cain, Abel and Seth.
There are THREE sons born from TWO acts of carnal knowledge by Adam. Since the Bible is the exact and perfect Word of God, this is no mistake but a record for our illumination. Since THREE sons were born from TWO acts by Adam, you know POSITIVELY that ONE of those three WAS NOT the son of Adam. God has recorded this in this exact manner to show us something.
Eve had in her womb TWO sons (twins) from SEPARATE impregnations. She was carrying twins, with Cain's conception from the serpent sometime previous to that of Abel's conception from Adam.
To those who think that this is not possible, let it be known that the medical records are replete with cases where women have carried twins who were of separate ova and separate insemination with the fertilization of the eggs being days apart, and NOT ONLY SO, but some of the records show that the twins were fathered by separate males.
Worldwide coverage was given to a Norwegian mother who was suing her husband for support for herself and her twins, one of which was white and the other black. She admitted that she had a Negro lover. The two conceptions were about three weeks apart.
Why was it that the seed of the serpent had to come this way? - He wanted to get into man.
Man was created for God. Man was to be the temple of God. The place of God's rest (the Holy Spirit) was man, the temple. BEFORE the foundation of the earth the purpose of God was to share His Eternal Life with man. God wanted to live in man for eternity.
The Heart of man is the final dwelling place of God.
ACTS 7:46-49
46 Who found favour before God, and desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
47 But Solomon built him an house.
48 Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,
49 Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest? The place of his rest is on the throne of mans heart. Satan also wanted to sit on that Throne.
ISAIAH 14:12-14
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
Satan also wants to in-dwell man even as God so does. But God has reserved to Himself that right. God alone appeared in human flesh. Satan could not and cannot do that. He does not have creative powers. The only way for Satan to accomplish what he wanted to do was to enter the serpent in Eden even as he entered by evil spirits into the swine at Gadara. God does not enter animals; but Satan can and will to accomplish his ends. He could not have a child directly by Eve as did God by Mary, so he entered into the serpent and then beguiled Eve. He seduced her and by her Satan had a child vicariously. Cain bore the full spiritual characteristics of Satan and the animalistic (sensual, fleshly) characteristic of the serpent. No wonder the Holy Spirit said that Cain was of that wicked one. He was.
Luke 1:26-35 sets forth the exact account of how the Seed of the woman came into physical manifestation apart from the instrumentality of the human male.
LUKE 1:26-35
26 ¶ And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
29 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
As the Seed of the woman was literally God reproducing Himself in human flesh, so the seed of the serpent is the literal way that Satan found he was able to open the door for himself to enter the human race.
It was impossible for Satan (for he is only a CREATED spirit-being) to reproduce himself in the manner which God reproduced Himself, so the Genesis account tells how he produced his seed and introduced or injected himself into the human race. Also recall that Satan is called the "old serpent". ( REVELATION 20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years)
Before Adam ever had carnal knowledge of Eve, the serpent had that knowledge ahead of him. And that one born of it was Cain. Cain was of (born of, begotten of) that "Wicked One". The Holy Spirit in John could not in one place call Adam the "Wicked One" (for that is what he would be if he fathered Cain).
In LUKE 3:38 Adam is called the "Son of God" which he was by creation. Cain turned out in character like his father, a bringer of death, a murderer. His utter defiance of God when faced by the Almighty in Genesis 4:5,9,13,14, shows him to be absolutely unhuman-like in characteristics, seeming even to surpass any account we have in the Scripture concerning a confrontation of Satan by God.
Nowhere in the bible is Cain ever mentioned in the lineage of Adam.
GENESIS 5:1-3
1 ¶ This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;
2 Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
3 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:
LUKE 3:38 ……Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God.
JUDE 14, "And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied..."
Genesis 5 is the chapter of genealogy of Enoch. It gives that genealogy thusly, 1. Adam, 2. Seth, 3. Enos, 4. Cainan, 5. Mahalaleel, 6. Jared, 7. Enoch. Notice that Cain is not mentioned. The line of Adam goes through Seth. If Cain were the child of Adam, the law of the birthright would have given Cain the right in the lineage.
Genesis 5:3, it says that,
"Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image, and called his name Seth."
Nowhere does it say that Cain was in Adam's likeness, yet he would have to be if he were his son, If Cain were the son of Adam it would be said of him somewhere that, "Cain, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God."
GENESIS 43:33 And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright,…. Geneology in scripture is traced through the firstborn. Cain was Eve’s firstborn, but not Adams firstborn. Eve was the mother of all living. - Gen 3:20, But Adam was not the father of all living.
I JOHN 3:12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.
Our opening scripture reading.
MATTHEW 13:38
38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
The Seed of God and the Seed of the Serpent are both identified by the way they responded to truth. The spirit of the Serpent’s Seed cannot receive truth.
JOHN 8:40-45
40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
It was an Animal that had caused the fall in Eden, so let animal life be shed. God killed two Lambs and used their skins to cover Adam and Eve in order to restore fellowship. God also accepted the blood of bulls and goats down through the Old Testament, but one day he would send the great sacrifice, the Lamb of God to take away the sin of the whole world, all of those previous sacrifices had only pointed to that one supreme sacrifice.
The original sin was deception, a false seed word spoken and conceived in the womb of Eve’s mind. The carnal act that followed between the serpent and Eve was the manifestation or out working of that false seed word that was planted in the womb of her mind.
PROVERBS 30:20 Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness.
In Eden the serpent was an upright creature. He was the closest specie to man. He was almost man. Satan took advantage of the serpent's physical characteristics to use him to beguile Eve. Then God destroyed that pattern of the serpent. No other beast can now commingle with man.
The carnal act that took place between the serpent and Eve resulted in the shedding of blood, the life is in the blood, and when blood escapes from the body it is symbolic that life will eventually leave the body. Women have suffered in the shedding of blood because of what Eve did, they are reminded of this every month, and they suffer in this area of conception (Child Birth) according to what God said she would.
It was a blood sin and therefore it needed to be a blood sacrifice, that is why Jesus had to be virgin born to by-pass the original sin, than he had to shed his innocent blood to pay the penalty of death for the innocent blood that was shed in Eden that is what caused the death man.
A hybrid is what comes of two species mixing. The result is no longer pure like the original. It is mongrel.
When Eve allowed the beast to mingle his seed with hers she produced a creature called Cain that wasn't pure human. He was of the WICKED ONE. He hated God and would not obey the Word and persecuted and killed the righteous. He set himself up above the Word of God. The nominal church, too, has departed from what she originally was. She is also a hybrid, setting herself above the word of God.
Now when the church becomes hybridized, can it produce pure Christians? It can't. The life or seed that brings Christians to birth is not in them. Like brings forth like.
Now each seed, though different, will utilize the same earth, nourishment, moisture, and sunshine, but it will bring forth after its own kind. Notice the history of the Cain line. Notice the history of the Seth line. Only one difference between them--the original seed.
It was the serpent's seed that brought forth Cain. It was Adam's seed that brought forth Abel and Seth. Those seeds went through exactly the same process, but the children were different for they were from different seeds.
MATTHEW 23:33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
Generation = 1) that which has been born or begotten - 1a) the offspring….(Offspring of Vipers – Snakes)
With the mix in Eden came Satan’s spirit into man. Once something is no longer pure, as directly from God, Satan has a right to attach himself to it.
EPHESIANS 2:2-3
2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
Because of the fall, Satan has dominion over every child born of a woman. Therefore both God’s elect and the seed of the serpent have the same spirit working in them at natural birth.
3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
The new birth puts God’s children under the dominion of the Holy Spirit. Mistakes can now be put under the blood.
The Seed of God are manifested by the new birth.
GALATIANS 4:6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
The Seed of the Serpent are manifest just as Jesus said in John 8:37
JOHN 8:37 I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.
Two fathers means two seed lines.
How are the seed of the serpent manifested? “My Word hath no place in you.” Jesus said of them. The same thing we saw in Cain in response to God’s Word, when it was given to him in Genesis 4:9 to 16.
From this side of the flood, this Old Testament shadow takes on a spiritual aspect. The seed is not traced by genealogy. It is traced by predestination.
ROMANS 9:7-8
7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
8 That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but *the children of the promise are counted for the seed.
EPHESIANS 1:4-5
4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
JOHN 10:14, 26-27
14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
The Serpent’s Seed
