Israel: The Kingdom’s 42nd Immortal Generation
Today’s Focus: The Physical Nation of Israel to the Messiah
Scripture: Genesis 3:15; Genesis 49:10; Matthew 1:1
Greetings Kingdom Citizens
Now this is about to start getting a little deep but the good thing is the Word of God lays this out clearly for us. Now we know it would be through physical Israel that the seed should come. The seed we are speaking of is Christ. The first promise of the coming of the Messiah was made to the devil.
Genesis 3:15: 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.
Now we know that the seed of Christ would come through the Tribe of Judah. Watch this:
Genesis 49:10: The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between His feet, until Shiloh come; and unto Him shall the gathering of the people be.
Who is Shiloh? The Lord Jesus Christ! So now we have the Messiah coming through the linage of the Tribe of Judah which includes David. So the Tribe of Judah is a kingly tribe. This is why when you read genealogies in the New Testament we see the one in Matthew 1:1 start like this:
Matthew 1:1: The Book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
This is stated that this testimony is to the fact that Jesus is the King. Now we know when Jesus came the “New Season” was ushered in and things changed from type and shadow to reality. Prophesies will be fulfilled as well as the Law because Jesus Himself would fulfill all the requirements of the Law. However something else happened upon the arrival of the Lord and it is one that we speak about but we really have not understood it and without understanding it, we will always read scripture and miss who God is talking to. With the coming of Jesus came the coming of the Kingdom of God and the Holy Nation. This nation has a name and we will find out what it is in a subsequent message. In the next message we will look at this “Immortal 42nd Generation”. What is it and who is it?
Peace, Love and Grace from the Father,
