The first time I read the Bible from cover to cover (1972); I noticed that the people of Biblical times talked about the seed as though it was common knowledge. At that time, I had no idea what the seed was. I made it a point that I was going to read the entire translation and not miss one word. I was very careful to mark where I started and where I left off. When I got to all of those "begot’s" in Genesis, I hated to read those scriptures. I could not pronounce these Hebrew names and it did not make any sense to me why they even put it all in the Bible. But the promise to myself still stood strong. I read it all.
After I had finally got through it, it finally dawned on me that these generations of Adam were his seed. I added up all the ages of his grand kids and the answer was 930 years, the age of Adam. It was not as easy as I just made it sound because before the flood they did not give the age the man was when the child was conceived. I took an average age of 49 years and it all came out right. After the flood it give the age when each child was conceived.
So, … Adam lived 930 years through his grandchildren and not in one body. That was a lot easier to believe than one man living to be 930 years old. The understanding of the seed will open up a lot more understanding about Jesus Christ the more you study about it.
