REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND! - The Seed of the Woman Identified

 The prophecy at Genesis 3:15 refers finally to the seed of the woman. While Satan was developing his seed, Jehovah was preparing for his "woman," or wifelike celestial organization, to produce a seed. For some 4000 years, Jehovah progressively revealed to obedient God-fearing humans details related to the coming of the seed.  (Isaiah 46:9, 10) Abraham, Isaac, and others could thus build faith in the promise that the seed would appear  in their genealogical line.  (Genesis 22:1-18; 26:4; 28:14) Satan and his henchmen often persecuted such servants of Jehovah because of their unswerving faith. - HEBREWS 11:1, 2, 32-38.

At last, in the year 29 of our Common Era, the perfect man Jesus presented himself at the Jordan River and was baptized.  Jehovah there begot Jesus with holy spirit. saying: "This is my Son, the beloved, whom I have approved." (Matthew 3:17) Jesus was there identified as having been sent forth from God's spiritual organization in heaven.  He was also anointed as the King-Designate of the heavenly Kingdom that would restore rulership over the earth in Jehovah's name, thus settling once and for all the issue of sovereignty.  (Revelation 11:15) Jesus, then, is the principal One of the seed of the woman, the foretold Messiah. - Compare GALATIANS 2:16; DANIEL 9:25.
