Right in the beginning of the creation account, The Lord God clearly shows us a truth that can easily be missed. Everything God created was very good, including the ‘seed’ for the fruit bearing trees and all vegetation. All living creatures and mankind was created very good too in the image of God. And in chapter 2 verse 2 to 3 it says: – And on the seventh day God finished his work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he had done. 3 So God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it God rested from all his work that he had done in creation.
Everything that God made was deemed ‘very good’ as it was pure and Holy and therefore everything entered into the 7th day rest, what is known as the Sabbath. The Lord God is very jealous for the sabbath and expects us all to observe a Sabbath.
However, we know that Adam and Eve disobeyed God and that now sin had entered man. Man has now a seed that is one of sin – not Holy as originally created. As man continued to multiply and populate the earth, man’s corrupted seed is reproduced, and all mankind therefore is now in rebellion with God. We see in Genesis 6, verses 1 to 3 it says: – “When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them, 2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose. 3 Then the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years.” The angels or watchers from heaven looking upon earth are also now in rebellion and with fallen man, the Holy Seed of God in all creation has been affected. Therefore, God makes a judgement by pronouncing man’s days will be for 120 years. We now know that the ‘years’ here in question are based on God’s Jubilee cycles of 50 years, therefore 120 years of Jubilees equals 6000! This is 6 days of a thousand years, which is the pattern of God. We know that Christ returns to reign from Jerusalem and govern the world for a ‘thousand’ years, therefore completing a ‘week’ of 7!! This ‘7’ is the Sabbath, and only those born of the Holy Seed of God can enter! Jesus says in John 3, verse 3:-“Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” You must be ‘born again!’ Because your original self is born of a corrupted sinful seed, you are unable to enter the 7th Sabbath day, and you must be ‘born again’ of the Holy Spirit! The Holy Seed, which is an imperishable seed, not the original perishable seed of man!
Man’s days are numbered at 6. It leads to death. God’s fullness is number 7. Which seed are you? Are you of the world and cut off from God, therefore marked to die at day 6? Or have you put your trust, faith in Christ and received the seed of the Holy Spirit which leads to day 7 – the Holy Day for those who belong to God and His Son Jesus?
I choose Jesus – He is the Way, the Truth and the Life! Praise be to the precious Son of God!!!!!
