Prophecy
All Families of the Earth Blessed Through Abraham’s Offspring – Christ
Genesis 12:3 (KJV) And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
Matthew 1:1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
Galatians 3:8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.
Galatians 3:16 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.
Son of God Destroys the Works of the Devil
Genesis 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
I John 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
The Order of Melchisedek
There is a parallel between Melchizedek and Christ. Melchizedek was a forerunner of Christ.
For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him; (KJV) Hebrews 7:1
And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God. Genesis 14:18
Melchizedek is introduced in the Old Testament and reaffirmed in the New Testament.
For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins: Hebrews 5:1
So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee. Hebrews 5:5
As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek. Hebrews 5:6
Jesus is our high priest “that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.” Jesus was the Lamb slain before the foundation of the world. Jesus himself became the sacrifice for sin.
