REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!

Two seeds appear next at Genesis 3:15.We should be deeply interested in these, for they are related to the great issue of rightful sovereignty over this earth. This involves each one of us, whether young or old .  Which of these seeds do you favor?

First, there is the seed, or offspring of the Serpent. What is this? It surely includes those other spirit creatures who joined Satan in his rebellion and who were finally "hurled down with him" to the realm of the earth.  (Revelation 12:9) Since Satan, or  Beelzebub, is "the ruler of  the demons," it is apparent that they make up his invisible organization. - MARK 3:22; EPHESIANS 6:12.

Further, Jesus told Jewish religious leaders of his day: "You are from your father the Devil, and you wish to do the desires of your father." (John 8:44)  By their opposition to God's Son, Jesus, those religious leaders allowed that  showed that they too were part of Satan's seed, serving him as their figurative father.  Many other humans throughout history  have similarly identified themselves  by doing Satan's will, particularly in opposing  and persecuting the disciples of Jesus Christ. Collectively, these humans may be described as making up Satan's visible organization on earth. - See JOHN 15:20; 16:33; 17:15.
