DIVINE PROMISES OF BLESSING 43
promised Seed . Galatians 4 :26-31 The Seed is
primarily the Son whom God sent forth from his
heavenly organization to become a man on earth
and to be subject to the great test of loyalty to
Jehovah's universal sovereignty amid Satan's
world. Under test by everything that Satan had to
bring to bear against him, the Seed would vindicate
Jehovah's sovereignty by proving true to the
death, the bruising of his heel . In fulfillment of
the divine curse upon him Satan the Devil, that
"old Serpent", would be destroyed with all his
wicked seed in heaven and in earth . The Seed of
God's "woman" would crush the wicked one's head
like that of a snake under his heel .
117111 then wickedness must be let continue . Persons
who looked ahead during 4,000 years to the
Seed and persons who became his followers must
all be tested by it for some personal share in vindicating
Jehovah's sovereignty over all creation,
including our earth. But the clearing out of wickedness
from the universe is certain . The death
and resurrection of the Seed, Jesus Christ, guarantee
it will be accomplished, and that shortly
now . This means also the deliverance of all those
who become the children of God and brothers of
Christ . "Therefore, since the young children' are
sharers of blood and flesh, he also similarly partook
of the same things, that through his death
he might destroy the one having the means to
cause death, that is, the Devil, and might emancipate
all those who for fear of death were subject
s . So what do Christ's death and resurrection now
guarantee?
