To David David's Descendent or Seed No FUTURE Jesus Christ The First Words of the New Testament: Matt 1: 1 The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

  7. Romans 15:8 Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister …. for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers

  8. Genesis 3:15 And I will put enmity between you (serpent) and the woman, And between yourseed and her seed; Heshall bruise you on the head, And you shall bruise him on the heel. " Promise in Eden

  9. The Promise of RedemptionGenesis 3:15 CONFLICT

  10. The Mind of Fleshvs. The Mind of Spirit “For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.”Romans 8:5 “ because the fleshly mind is enmity against God…”Romans 8:7 Serpent = the thinking of the flesh

  11. Seed of the Woman = Jesus Christ “ But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law " (Galatians 4:4) “ He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed " (Isaiah53:5)

  12. How did Jesus Destroy the Serpent? “God sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh ” (Romans 8:3) The Battle was won in Christ’s Body

Hebrews 2:14 “Since then the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewisealso partook of the same (nature), that through death He might render powerless (destroy)him who had the power of death, that is, the devil” • Jesus was born with exactly the same nature as us • But he never sinned • 1 & 2 meant that when he died on the cross he was able to destroy the devil What is the Devil that Jesus Destroyed?

  14. What is the Devil that Jesus Destroyed when he died on the cross?

  16. Enmity between the Serpent’s seed and the Woman’s seed “ The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. ” (1 Cor 15:56-57)

  17. Promise in Eden: Summary • Two parties would be involved • They would be enemies • The conflict will finally be resolved by a great victory when Jesus dies

ALL Nations Blessed Israel From Nile River to Euphrates River Whole World Initially promised the land of Canaan or Israel: Gen13:14 And the LORD said to Abram.. " Now lift up your eyes and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward; for all the land which you see, I will give it to you and to your descendants forever. Promise Extended to a large section of the Middle East: Gen15:18 On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, "To your descendants I have given this land, From the river of Egypt as far as the great river, the river Euphrates: The New Testament Extends this to the WHOLE WORLD: Rom 4:13 For the promise to Abraham or to his descendants that he would be heir of the world was not through the Law, but through the righteousness of faith.

  38. “The promise to Abraham….Heir of the World” (Rom. 4:17)

  39. DESCENDENT(S) SEED LAND Inherit Forever BLESSING ALL Nations Blessed Whole World Who? Jesus Christ All those “in” Christ Primarily Refers to Jesus Christ Gal 3:16 Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He does not say, "And to seeds," as [referring] to many, but [rather] to one, "And to your seed," that is, Christ. Extends to all those who believe and are baptized into Christ: Gal 3:27-29 For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's offspring (seed), heirs according to promise”

  40. LAND Inherit Forever BLESSING SEED Jesus Christ ALL Nations Blessed Whole World All those “in” Christ = the Gospel (good news) = 1) Kingdom of God 2) Name of Jesus Abraham understood the Gospel Gal 3:8 “And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, [saying], "ALL THE NATIONS SHALL BE BLESSED IN YOU." The Gospel Consists of 2 important elements: Acts 8:12 “But when they believed Philip preachingthe good newsaboutthe kingdom of Godand the name of Jesus Christ,they were being baptized, men and women alike.”

  41. BLESSING ALL Nations Blessed The Gospel (God’s good news for us) 2. Name of Jesus Christ 1. Kingdom of God SEED LAND Inherit Forever Jesus Christ Whole World All those “in” Christ “He that believes the gospel and is baptized shall be saved” Mark 16:16

  42. Has Abraham Received God’s Promise? God promised Abraham“all the land which you see, I will give it to you(Abraham) and to your descendants(Jesus Christ & those in him)forever.”(Gen.13:14-15) However, Abraham has NOT yet received this promise: • Acts 7:4-5“[God] removed him (Abraham) into this country in which you are now living. And He gave him no inheritance in it, not even a foot of ground; and [yet] …He promised that HE WOULD GIVE IT TO HIM” • Hebrews 11:8-13“By faith Abraham.. obeyed by going out to a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; … By faith he lived as an alien in the land of promise, as in a foreign [land],dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, fellow heirs of the same promise…. These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off…”

  43. God will fulfill His Promise to Abraham when Jesus returns Abraham, along with all those believers “in Christ”, will be resurrected • Matt 22:31-32"But regarding the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God: (32) 'I AM THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, AND THE GOD OF ISAAC, AND THE GOD OF JACOB?He is not the God of the dead but of the living.“ • 1 Corinthians 15:20-23But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep. (21) For since by a man came death, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead. (22) For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive. (23) But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, after that those who are Christ's at His coming”

  44. God’s Promise to David

  47. God was Israel’s true King1 Samuel 8 [NASB] (4) Then all the elders of Israel .. came to Samuel;(5) and they said to him, "Behold, you have grown old, and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now appoint a king for us to judge us like all the nations." (6) But the thing was displeasing in the sight of Samuel when they said, "Give us a king to judge us." And Samuel prayed to the LORD. (7) The LORD said to Samuel, "Listen to the voice of the people in regard to all that they say to you, for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me from being king over them. (9) "Now then, listen to their voice; however, you shall solemnly warn them and tell them of the procedure of the king who will reign over them."

  48. A Foundation Point:The Kingdom of Israel = The Kingdom of God 1 Chronicles 28:5 "Of all my sons (for the LORD has given me many sons), He has chosen my son Solomon to sit on the throne of the kingdom of the LORD over Israel. 1 Chronicles 29:23 Then Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king instead of David his father; and he prospered, and all Israel obeyed him. 2 Chronicles 9:8 "Blessed be the LORD your God who delighted in you (Solomon), setting you on His throneas kingfor the LORD your God; because your God loved Israel establishing them forever, therefore He made you king over them, to do justice and righteousness."

  49. God’s Promise to David2 Samuel 7 [NASB] 12) When your days are complete and you lie down with your fathers, I will raise up your descendant after you, who will come forth from you, and I will establish his kingdom. 13) He shall build a house for My name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. 16) And your house and your kingdom shall endure before Me forever; your throne shall be established forever.

  50. The Promise Simple Meaning Solomon? 2 Sam 7:12-16 Yes Who? David's descendent (12) David's descendent What? God will establish his Kingdom (12) A Kingdom Yes A Temple Yes He shall build a house for God's name (13) Where? David's house & David's Kingdom, and David's throne (16) Israel/Jerusalem Yes No David was still alive when Solomon became King (1 Kings 1) When? After David's death When David's days are complete and he lies down with his father (12) No Solomon died & the Temple was destroyed in BC586) How Long? God will establish HisKingdom FOREVER (13), David's throne established FOREVER (16) FOREVER
