The Infinite God Almighty Protects His Covenant Seed of Faith.

It is an unseen fact of reality that the Creator of the fabric of  time, could see in the flow of His creation of time that the corruption of sin would be birthed in Satan's lustful spirit.  Satan's lust for power would foment his rebellion against His Maker, and then Satan's stealthy influence would infect Elohim's creation of Man, male and female with Man's own rebellious mind.   The Word of God is Perfect TRUTH,  and will only give birth to lasting Perfection IN His Eternal WORD of TRUTH. 

Now, if God's Gift of Faith would be received and would flourish in the free will of sinners,  then they would know the TRUTH and God's Covenant TRUTH would free them from sin's consequences of eternal death.  Freedom is found IN Yeshua haMashiach for the Lord Jesus Christ is God's Perfect Lamb, and He would be God's Perfect Man conceived in the undefiled Genetics of the first Man/Adam.  The first Adam was of the earth, and sinned against Eternity, bringing death to all of man kind, but the last Adam was from above, and being  of the Spirit of His Father, Jesus would give LIFE to all that believe IN Him.  For the TRUTH of God to be Eternal TRUTH, then the WORD of TRUTH, would be conceived by God's Holy Spirit of Life within the womb of a virgin woman, and would be Yahweh God's Only Begotten Son, Yeshua/Jesus the Messiah.  TRUTH is manifested in these last times as God's Sacrificial Lamb that would be born to die as the innocent genetic Son of Adam through the Hebrew virgin Mary.

1. Witness that mankind's thoughts of independence are a stumbling block to Faith in God's Word.  Abram would spend 10 years in Canaan without receiving God's promise of a seed from his own loins and that of his wife Sarai.  Abram, misunderstanding God's promise, presumptuously heeded the word's of Sarai, who said: Behold now, the Lord has restrained me from bearing:  I pray thee, go in unto my maid [Hagar]: it may be that I may obtain children by her.  And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai: ^{(See Genesis 16 verse 1 thru 4.)} And Abram went in unto Hagar, wherein she conceived a son from her generational seed, whose name would be Ishmael, from whom would come a multitude of peoples and a nation.  And Abram was eighty six years of age when Hagar bore his son Ishmael.  Mind you again, Hagar was an Egyptian woman, and not of the lineage of Shem, but would be of the lineage of Ham's Son Mezraim: Therefore her hybrid xx chromosomes could not bring forth a pure generational seed that would produce God's Promise of the Messiah, Who had to be born of the truly pure genetic XY image of the first Adam/Man.  Although Abram's pure XY sex chromosomes of humanity determined the sex of his offspring, it was the mother Hagar's ovum seed, of one of the paired xx chromosomes that made her a female, that produced the hybrid variant from the renegade angelic incursion into the DNA of humanity. Thus the child Ishmael became male xY having the hybridized x chromosome of his mother Hagar.

   Now when Abram was ninety nine years of age, the Lord God appeared unto him again, and changed Abram's name to Abraham, meaning a father of many nations, and said to him: I will establish My Covenant between Me and thee, and thy seed after thee in their generations, for an Everlasting Covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.  And I will give unto thee and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan for an everlasting possession: And I will be their God.  And God said unto Abraham: Thou shall keep My Covenant therefore, thou and thy seed after thee in their generations.  This is My Covenant, which you shall keep between Me and you, and thy seed after thee.  Every man child among you shall be circumcised.  And you shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, and it shall be a token [proof] of the Covenant between Me and you. ^{(See Genesis 17  verse 7 thru 14.)}

   Furthermore: God said unto Abraham: As for Sarai thy wife, thou shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be.  And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: Yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations: Kings of people shall be of her.  Abraham, before hand had become a man of faith, having been birthed in the promises of God, but now he stumbles at those promises, when the Lord God said that his wife Sarah, even at the age of ninety would conceive, and bare his promised son, of God's own election.  Abraham, in seeing himself in old age, and Sarah his wife being 90 years, and seemingly being past child baring age, prays to God: O that Ishmael might live before thee! After all, according to Abraham's previous understanding of God's Word, his son Ishmael by the Egyptian woman Hagar, was his son from his own loins.  But God said to Abraham: Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and you shall call his name Isaac:  And I will establish My Covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.  ^{(Genesis 17 verse 18 thru 19.)} With that covenantal promise of God, the circumcision of every male child in Abraham's household was established, being a token in the flesh of the covenant between God and Abraham. ^{(See Genesis 17 verse 10 thru 12, and verses 24 thru 27.)}

   After God's Covenant is established with Abraham, and Abraham's agreement is sealed in his circumcision, then God restored Sarah's ability to conceive, and she bore the Covenant son of Abraham at the appointed time, and they named the child Isaac. So then Isaac, the seed of promise or that of the seed lineage of faith in God's original Covenant in the Garden, would be heir to God's Covenant promise to Abraham, and likewise his seed bearing faith in God's Salvation forever. ^{(See Galatians 4 verse 28.)} The seed of the Covenant promise would pass through the circumcised genitalia of Abraham, and his circumcised offspring, until the Messianic Promise was conceived in the womb of a generational virgin daughter of Abraham.  Abraham's seed that produced Ishmael did not pass through circumcised genitalia, and Ishmael, even though a son of Abraham, could not be of God's Covenant plan, for he was born of the Egyptian Blood of Hagar, a daughter of Mizraim, a  hybrid son of Ham.
     

2. The Trying of Faith: But, Abraham had his faith and obedience tried severely by God, when the voice, he perceived to be of God, commanded him to go to Mount Mariah and offer up Isaac in sacrificial obedience. ^{(See Genesis 22 verse 1 thru 3.)} With what we know and what has been previously presented, we agree with the speculation of  others, that Abraham, even in being tried severely with the offering of his son Isaac, still had a trusting faith that God would raise up his only true son Isaac from death, for God's covenant promise was made to be in Isaac's generations.  Abraham, having seen Christ his Lord having been raised from the dead in glory, believed that Isaac would yet live and his seed would fulfill God's Covenant Promise.  Abraham was being obedient to the command to offer his son Isaac, but then the voice of the angel of the Lord spoke from heaven, to prevent the hand of Abraham from slaying his beloved son. ^{(See Genesis 22 verse 9 thru 13.)} The angel of the Lord called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time, And said, By Myself have I sworn, says the Lord, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thy only son: That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying, I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;  And in thy Seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed My Voice. ^{(Genesis 22 verse 15 thru 18.)}
    

3. Abraham seeks a wife for Isaac: Abraham entreating his eldest servant says: Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh:  And I will make thee swear by the Lord, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou shall not take a wife unto my son [Isaac] of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell: But thou shall go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac. ^{(Genesis 24 verse 2 thru 4.)} What is important for us to see in this scripture, is that when Abraham sends his servant, to the land of his near kinsmen, to bring back a wife for his son Isaac, Abraham is seeking to maintain the perfect genetic lineage of God's Covenant that the Lord enjoined to him.  It should also be obvious now, that the genetic blood line of the Canaanite women, is not only unacceptable but impossible to the TRUTH of Holy Yahwey God and His Covenant Word of TRUTH given in Eden.  God's Messianic Covenant can only continue in the uncontaminated genetic line from Noah's blessed son, Shem, and perhaps his brother Japheth's lineage, whose children would dwell in Shem's Tents.  Indeed the prayers of Abraham's servant were answered by God, in His all knowing election of Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel, the son of Abraham's brother, Nabor and his wife Milcah.  And so Rebekah became the select wife of Isaac. ^{(Genesis 24 verse 36 thru 51.)}  
    

4. Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to be his wife, but Rebekah would be barren of children until Isaac entreated the Lord.  At that time Isaac was almost sixty years old when he called upon the the Lord God, to intervene in Rebekah's inability to bare children.  Apparently, even as Abraham's faith was tried by the events in time, so was Isaac's and Rebecca's faith. And the Lord answered Isaac, and Rebekah his wife conceived:   And the children struggled together within her [Rebekah]; Knowing of her pregnancy Rebekah, said, If it be so, why am I thus [troubled]? Rebekah not understanding the struggle that is taking place in her womb, she enquiref of the Lord.  And the Lord said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; but the elder shall serve the younger.  And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb. Isaac loved the eldest son called Esau, but Rebecca loved the youngest son, Jacob.  ^{(Genesis 25 verse 19 thru 28.)} Perhaps Rebekah, through the prophetic Word of the Lord, understood better than Isaac that God's election of Jacob over Esau, would come to pass, to fulfill Yahweh's Perfect Word of TRUTH.  For the Eternal would through His over seeing knowledge of His creation of time, would bring forth His Eternal Covenant Salvation in the perfect genetics of the First Adam to be born in the flesh of Man as Yahweh's Only Begotten Son, Yeshua/Jesus.  ^{(See again Creation of Ishshah.)}
    

5. Jacob Have I Loved, Says the Lord: But Esau have I hated.   Let's investigate as to why is it written in Malachi that God hated Esau? ^{(See Malachi 1 verse 2 thru 4.)} For Jacob said to Esau:  Swear to me this day and Esau swore unto Jacob, and Esau sold his birthright unto Jacob.  Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentils; and Esau did eat and drink, and rose up and went his own way:  Therefore Esau despised his birthright [of the first born]. ^{(See Genesis 25 verse 29-thru-34.)} After despising his birthright, then Esau, a man after his own way further compounded his error of his corrupted heart, by consummating marriages with two Canaanite women.  And Esau was forty years old when he took to wife Judith, the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite:  Which were a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah. ^{(Genesis 26 verse 34-35.)} Of course, with the purity of the Promissed Word of of Almighty God, it is impossible for the Covenant Seed of God, to come forth from the offspring of Esau's illicit marriages to the hybrid daughters of Canaan.  Isaac's elder son, Esau, with his genetic seed will become the nation of Edom, and will serve the younger son Jacob.  And Jacob with his genetic seed will become the nation of Israel.
   
   When Isaac had grown old, and not knowing of the certainty of the day of his death, he calls Esau forward, and asks him to prepare a meal of venison so that Isaac may bless him, as the first born of his genetic lineage.  However, with the help of his mother Rebekah, Jacob deceives his father Isaac into giving him his blessing, and the rights of the first born. ^{(See Genesis 27 verse 6 thru 19.)} And Isaac blesses Jacob the younger son, thinking it is his son Esau, saying:

   See, the smell of my son, is as the smell of a field which the Lord has blessed:  Therefore may God give you of the dew of heaven and of the fatness of the earth, and plenty of grain and wine.  Let peoples serve you, and nations bow down to you. Be lord over your brothers, and may your mother's sons bow down to you. Cursed be everyone who curses you, and blessed be everyone who blesses you!” 

   After Isaac gives his blessing to Jacob,  and Jacob leaves,  then Esau comes to his father with his prepared meal of venison, expecting the blessing of the first born that he had previously forfeited to Jacob by his own choice.  Then learning that the blessing was already laid upon Jacob, Esau begs for a blessing from his father.  Isaac answers Esau: 

   “Behold, away from the fatness of the earth shall your dwelling be, and away from the dew of heaven on high.  By your sword you shall live, and you shall serve your brother; but when you grow restless, you shall break his yoke from your neck.”

   These words were not what Esau wanted to hear from his father Isaac, for instead of a blessing, the words were a complete reversal of Isaac's blessing given to Jacob.  Now because of Isaac's first born blessing given to Jacob, and nothing of a blessing coming to Esau, Esau swore to kill his brother, Jacob.  Rebekah hears of Esau's desire to destroy his brother Jacob, and warns her son Jacob to flee to her brother Laban's house in Haran.  Then Rebekah said to Isaac: I loath my life because of the daughters of Heth [a Hittite giant of the family of Canaan]:  If Jacob takes a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these which are of the daughters of the land [of Canaan], what good shall my life be to me?  And Isaac hearing the heart of Rebekah, called to Jacob and blessed him again saying: God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful and multiply thee that thou may be a multitude of people; and give thee the blessing of Abraham, and to thy seed with thee that thou may inherit the land wherein thou art a stranger, which God gave unto Abraham.  And of absolute significance, Isaac also commanded Jacob not to take for a wife of any of the daughters of Canaan, but to go to Pandanaram to the house of Laban, his mother's brother and take a wife from one of Laban's virgin daughters. ^{(See Genesis 27 verse 42 thru 46, and chapter 28 verse 1 thru 5.)}
   
   Esau, in hearing of his father Isaac's displeasure with the Canaanite women, then went to the family of Ishmael, the son of Abraham by Hagar, the Egyptian woman, and added to his existing wives, Mahalath, the daughter of Ishmael. ^{(See Genesis 28 verse 6 thru 9.)}  Now it should be apparent that Esau's marriage to the daughter of the bond woman was not a sign of repentance, but only deepened the curse that he had brought upon himself and his family;  If Edom [that is the people of Esau] says, “We are shattered, but we will rebuild the ruins,” the Lord of hosts says, “They may build, but I will tear down, and they will be called ‘the wicked country,’ and ‘the people with whom the Lord is angry forever.’”^{(Malachi 1 verse 4.)} The first born son of Esau was Eliphaz, whose concubine was Timna, and she bore to Eliphaz, his son Amalek.

 

6. Jacob marries the virgin daughters of Laban, and Laban is a grandson of Nahor, Abraham's brother: The full story of Jacob and his wrestling's with his own life and family, as well as God's call to him to be faithful, are there for you to read, starting in Genesis 28 and ending in Chapter 50. For our purposes, we will look only to God's generational election of Jacob, that maintains the generational seed of God's original Covenant Promise in the Garden.  God will see to it that the seed of a Woman taken from Adam would continue from the first generation of Adam until the 10 generation of Noah, and the beginning after the flood with Noah's son Shem, and extending to that of Abraham's generational seed of faith, through Isaac and Jacob, and then to King David, and ending in the womb of the Jewish virgin, Mary, who will bear the incarnate Son of God, becoming the Son of Man, Christ Jesus.  Jacob, whose name was changed by God to that of Israel, meaning God Strives, had a total of twelve sons, from Laban's two daughters, Leah and Rachel, and their Egyptian handmaids Zilpah and Bilhah respectively.   The sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun: The sons of Rachel; Joseph, and Benjamin: And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid; Dan, and Naphtali: And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's handmaid: Gad, and Asher: these are the sons of Jacob, which were born to him in Padanaram. ^{(Genesis 36 verse 23 thru 26.)}

    

7. God's Covenant Trail of TRUTH continues:  Leah, Jacob's first wife. bares Jacob six sons.  The fourth son of Leah and Jacob is Judah, in whose genetic seed, we will see God's Covenant Word continue in the chapter titled, Tamar, that comes after the following chapter of The Biblical Women in God's Covenant.  It is impossible for The TRUTH of God to be hybridized by satanic intervention.
