2737.—The Seed of Abraham.
By Editor
According to Question No. 2668, Christ the Seed of Abraham has not as yet come. If so, then we become Abraham's seed before Christ does. Gal. 3:29. How do you harmonize these? Our questioner has read the answer to No. 2668 wrong. It does not say that Christ the Seed of Abraham has not as yet come, but that He has not come as the heir to what was given Abraham. Jesus was the Seed of Abraham. Concerning that there is no question, but He did not come as the heir to what God gave Abraham. That is a future event. When He came the first time He had no right to it till He had passed through the trial, but when He comes the second time, as expressed by Ezekiel the prophet: "When He comes whose right it is, I will give it Him." We become the seed of Abraham by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, but we do not inherit the kingdom until Christ comes the second time; neither does He take the kingdom nor neither did He take the kingdom when He first came, but will at His second coming.
