Preserving the Seed of Promise
Gen. 7:15-16
15 And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life.
16 And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.
Notice it says, “And they that went in, went in male and female...” What was God doing? He was preserving seed! Remember that the ‘promised seed’ mentioned in Gen. 3:15 (yesterday’s reading) had already been foretold, and so just like clockwork, everything God does is on time, and for divine purpose.
How many times do you read elsewhere in the scriptures where things were done “so that the scriptures might be fulfilled”? How could the prophesy of the promised seed (Jesus Christ the Savior) have come to pass had a seed not been preserved? Had God wiped everyone out, including Noah and his family, then the prophesy would have failed! But wait! God had already spoken, and what God speaks sets in motion a sequence of events destined to fulfill His Word, and nothing, not even the vilest of sinners, or hell itself, can deter His plan!
Therefore, we will sum it up today in this one word: GRACE! “Noah found GRACE!” He was a direct beneficiary of God’s ultimate plan of salvation, preserving the lineage of Christ! Once again, the theme here is the grace of God pointing us to Calvary’s divine flow.
Gen 3:15 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.
John 17:12, John 19:24, John 19:28
