ANTISEMITISM PART 3
THE SEED PART 2

As we continue our study on antisemitism we again look at Genesis. In chapter 11 we see that the people “…is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do [building the tower of Babel] and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.” Man was not content with worshipping Jehovah God. They wanted to be like God. Satan was behind this scheme, but God thwarted it with the confusing of their languages, which caused them to be scattered throughout the earth [Genesis 11:8).

Then we come to chapters 12-15 where Abram [later called Abraham] comes on the scene. God makes a covenant with Abraham and promises him that his seed [the promised seed] would be as many as stars in the heavens. When his wife did not conceive and she was beyond childbearing, Sarai had a carnal plan for children. She convinced Abram to take her handmaid, Hagar, and have a child with her. But this was not God’s plan.This was not the promised seed. It would cause great trouble then, when Ishmael was born, and it still causes trouble. A carnal plan never is God’s best plan.

God causes Sarai’s womb to come alive, and she gives birth to Isaac. The seed of promise would continue.

Isaac then has two sons, twins, Jacob, and Esau. God would use Jacob to continue the seed of promise, and Jacob had twelve sons, one of which was Judah.

Tomorrow we will see how Satan would try to destroy that seed of promise in Egypt.
