The Epic Battle for God's Seed: Satan's War with God

Description

All wars have a beginning and an end. Wars usually last months or years and leave great devastation in their path. This article will present the longest and most horrific war of all times. It has raged for thousands of years and left millions of causalities in its wake. Historians have all but ignored this war and news outlets have not brought updates to our computers and TVs. The world attempts to ignore it, but all humanity over time has participated on one side or the other. The Biblical Scriptures report the history of this war—the victories and defeats. God himself spoke of this war from the very beginning. He explained its cause and named its participants. He also prophesied the outcome. The war is the epic battle between God and Satan that spans the history of this earth. It began before the fall of Adam and Eve into sin. But at the fall the entire human race entered the conflict. Since that time no human being was an innocent bystander. In fact, every human who has ever lived has taken sides in this great conflict—whether knowingly or not. The war is all about control of God’s creation—who will rule on His throne. The tip of the spear has always been aimed at God’s human Seed—the “Seed of the woman.” The word ‘seed’ occurs more than three hundred times in Scripture. In many of those instances if refers to Jesus Christ. The Book of Genesis is so important for Christians. It builds the foundation upon which the Gospel of God’s grace towers above all history. It also provides understanding of this epic battle, defining the protagonists and portraying the consequences of defeat and the spoils of victory. Let us investigate further and grasp a true sense of God’s history.
