Did you know that Sarah was not the only one, who was barren, but also her daughter in law Rebekah, and Rebekah’s daughter in law Rachel? When the devil heard, that the seed of the woman would bruise his head, he did everything he could, to stop this from happening
And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel (Gen 3:15)
The battle against the Seed
Throughout the Old Testament and the New Testament (the four Gospels), we read about the battle of the devil against the Seed. He didn’t want his head to be bruised, and lose his authority. ดังนั้น, he came up with a plan, to prevent the Seed from coming.
The devil already succeeded in tempting Adam and Eve, and made them sin against God.
Therefore he thought, he could easily succeed with other people as well. But whatever he tried to do, he couldn’t stop the Seed from coming.
God had said, that the Seed would bruise his head.
When God has spoken, it means He has spoken, and it will come to pass. God speaks the truth, for He is the Truth. He doesn’t lie.
That’s why the Bible is trustworthy, because every prophecy has come to pass, and there are still more prophecies given by God in His Word, which shall all come to pass.
How did the devil try to stop the Seed ?
The devil first tried to kill Abel, because he was obedient to God and served Him with all His heart, จิตใจ, soul and strength. The devil thought, that Abel would bruise his head, but he was wrong. And so he continued.
Sarah was barren
Another thing, that the devil used, to stop the Seed from coming, was infertility. Sarah was barren, but God opened her womb.
Then the devil tried to do the same thing with Rebekah. And after Rebekah with Rachel, but God also opened their wombs as well. But the devil didn’t stop, but continued…
'จงเป็นเกลือแห่งแผ่นดินโลก’
