The seed of the serpent

[JLM Lives]

In Genesis. 3:15 God tells the serpent "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 bruse his heel."

What is the serpents' seed? and how does it apply to today?


Thank you.

The serpents seed are men and women that God gave to Satan as His children, they come about in the same way that Gods children come into world, and that is by natural child birth..i.e Cain was the product of normal sexual relations of a Man and Women gen 4:

1And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.

He was born a natural man..however we later find out that He was out of the devil in 1 jn 3:

12Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.

Jesus identifies him with those whom he called serpents, and traces him as the murderer of Abel..

Matt 23:

32Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.

33Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?

34Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:

35That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.

You see that ? Jesus identifies the serpent seed as responsible for the shed of the blood of righteous Abel, which was shed by cain..

And notice too, that Jesus asked, How can you escape the damnation of hell vs33 ?

Thats because, the serpents seed will not escape the damnation of hell, it is impossible..

And even up to the very end of the world, the devils children will be present in this world, indicated by these words here.. Matt 13:


38The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; [as cain see 1 jn 3:12]

39The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
40As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.

The tares, the children of the wicked one, the serpent seed [gen 3:15] the goats , are all the same people..

When you and i are conceived in our mothers womb, it has already been decided by God if we belong to the serpent's seed or not..

Not necessarily:

6 And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him. (Gen. 4)

I really appreciate your response.. Does that mean that the serpent seed is with us here today? and if so can we recognise them. will they be able to accept the Word of God? or are they destined not to?

[David Taylor]

All can accept the Word of God.

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. "

Those who reject God and His Word, are those of the darkness, the children of their father the devil.
They have the opportunity, yet they reject it.

So that this topic doesn't veer off into occultic mysticism, which it could easily do, we'll take this as a good time to end the topic.
