In most modern Bible translations, the seed has been replaced by offspring. But why has this happened? ዘሩ የት ሄደ? Because we all know, that the seed plays a significant role in the Bible. Everything has its origin in the Seed: እየሱስ ክርስቶስ.
በአንተና በሴቲቱ መካከል ጠላትነትን አደርጋለሁ, በዘርህና በዘርዋ መካከል; ጭንቅላትህን ይቀጠቅጣል, አንተም ሰኮናውን ትቀጠቅጣለህ (ኦሪት ዘፍጥረት 3:15 ኪጄቪ)
And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel (ኦሪት ዘፍጥረት 3:15 NIV)
The first prophecy regarding the coming of Jesus Christ
God refers in Genesis 3:15 to the Seed; His Son Jesus Christ. His Son would bruise the head of the devil. God doesn’t refer to the offspring, because all offspring comes out of women. But God referred specifically to the Seed: እየሱስ ክርስቶስ.
By replacing the seed, the first prophecy, regarding the coming of the Messiah Jesus Christ, has been removed.
In Genesis 12:7, God refers again to the Seed; እየሱስ ክርስቶስ:
And the Lord appeared unto Abram, በማለት ተናግሯል።, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the Lord, who appeared unto him.
እንዴት እናውቃለን, that this seed refers to Jesus Christ? Because in Galatians 3:16, it is written:
Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ (ገላትያ 3:16)
The promise referred to the Seed: እየሱስ ክርስቶስ, and not to the offspring. By changing the seed to offspring, a second prophecy about the coming of the Messiah Jesus Christ, has been removed from the Word of God.
The seed is the Word: እየሱስ ክርስቶስ. We cannot erase the Seed out of the Word, because the Word is the Seed, and not the offspring.
The whole Bible; every word of God, is a Seed, that should be planted, in the life of the believers. That’s the reason, why Jesus spoke so many times in parables about the seed and the Sower.
The devil tries to rob the Truth
The devil doesn’t want to be reminded of his defeat; when the Seed bruised his head, at the cross on Calvary. The devil will give up. He will do everything, to eliminate Jesus from this world, so he can continue, with his plan of destruction.
He robs (spoils) little by little. If we don’t walk after the Spirit and be attentive in the spirit, ከዚያ ብዙም አይሆንም, before he will rob the truth, from everything that is holy, including the Bible; የእግዚአብሔር ቃል.
መጽሐፍ ቅዱስ; የእግዚአብሔር ቃል, has been translated many times, ስለዚህ, according to many scholars, the Bible will become easier to read.
እውነታው ግን ነው።, that if you are not ዳግመኛ መወለድ, you will never be able to understand the Bible, despite the many translations. Because the Bible is a spiritual Book.
You can only understand the Bible, by the Holy Spirit. God is Spirit, and His Word is Spirit.
ሕይወትን የሚሰጥ መንፈስ ነው።; ሥጋ ምንም አይጠቅምም።: የምነግራችሁን ቃል, መንፈስ ናቸው።, ሕይወትም ናቸው። (ዮሐንስ 6:63)
The Bible has been translated, into a so-called modern everyday language, that everyone can understand. But every time, the Word is being translated, essential truths, and words are being replaced, and therefore the truth is being affected (cankered) by evil.
Will the cross be replaced by a stake?
That’s exactly what happened, when the Seed was replaced by the offspring. And what will be next? መስቀል? Will the cross be replaced by a stake?
God knew, that this would happen, that’s why in the Book of Revelation it is written:
For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book (ራእ 22:18-19)
The Seed is the Word
In the first letter of Peter, we read about the corruptible and incorruptible seed, and not about the offspring:
ዳግም መወለድ, ከሚበላሽ ዘር አይደለም, ነገር ግን የማይበሰብስ, በእግዚአብሔር ቃል, which liveth and abideth for ever (1 ጴጥሮስ 1:22-23)
Most Christians, including Theologians, ናቸው። ሥጋዊ እና ከሥጋው በኋላ ይራመዱ, መንፈስን ከመከተል ይልቅ.
That’s why many Bible translations will be translated according to the worldly wisdom of man (ሥጋ; the carnal wisdom and knowledge), በመንፈስ ፈንታ.
Because of this, many essential truths will get lost.
How many of these specialists, theologians, professors of literature, translators, doctors in Greek/Hebrew literature, ወዘተ., go out and preach the gospel, lay hands on the sick and cast out demons? How many of them, who adjust and change the Word of God, walk according to Jesus His commandments?
ስለዚህ, let’s bring the Seed back into the Word. Let’s not talk about the offspring, but about the Seed; እየሱስ ክርስቶስ, የ Cornerstone of our faith.
How do you know if a Bible translation is reliable?
That’s easy! Just go to Genesis 3:15, and look what is written; the Seed (እየሱስ ክርስቶስ) or the offspring (ሰዎች).
