Abraham’s Seed: Physical vs. Spiritual.
Abraham’s Seed: Physical vs. Spiritual.
There is a difference:Your skin won’t get in Part 2.
I. The Promise to Abraham: The Concept of His “Seed”
Genesis 12:2-3, 7
"And I will make of thee a great nation… and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed."
"Unto thy seed will I give this land."
YAHUAH calls Abraham out of Ur and makes a covenant with him. This covenant includes:
✅ Land → the physical land of Canaan
✅ A Nation → physical descendants
✅ A Seed → a singular and plural promise (physical and spiritual)
✅ Global Blessing → through that Seed, all nations will be blessed
The "Seed" has layers of meaning:
II. The Formation of Israel: Abraham → Isaac → Jacob → Israel
Genesis 17:19: "Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him."
The seed does not flow through Ishmael (though he was also blessed in the flesh).
The covenant flows through Isaac, the child of promise — born of faith, not of the flesh.
Jacob, son of Isaac, wrestles with YAHUAH and is renamed Israel ("one who wrestles with YAHUAH and prevails").
Jacob has 12 sons → 12 tribes of Israel → a nation is born.
III. Who Is "Israel"?
Israel the man → Jacob
Israel the family → 12 tribes
Israel the nation → descendants of the 12 tribes
Israel the spiritual remnant → the believing remnant within national Israel
Israel expanded through Yahusha → believing Gentiles grafted in (Romans 11)
IV. Abraham’s Seed: Physical vs. Spiritual
A. Physical Seed
The Jewish people today claim direct biological descent from Abraham.
Many of them do trace lineage through the tribes of Judah, Levi, Benjamin, etc.
BUT: Scripture says not all who are of Israel are Israel (Romans 9:6).
There is a fleshly Israel and there is a spiritual Israel.
B. Spiritual Seed
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 Yahusha."
Yahusha is the ultimate Seed → the fulfillment of the promise.
All who are in Yahusha (whether Jew or Gentile) become heirs of the promise.
Galatians 3:29 → "And if ye be Yahusha’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise."
V. Israel and the Nations: Prophetic Dynamics
The Historical Pattern
Israel was called to be a covenant nation → to reflect YAHUAH’s glory and justice.
Israel often rebelled and fell into idolatry → leading to captivity and dispersion.
A remnant always remained faithful.
The Messiah came through Israel → Jesus/Yahusha → the Seed.
The Spiritual Conflict
Satan’s war against the Seed is a war against:
the nation of Israel (physical)
the remnant of Israel (faithful believing Jews)
the grafted-in believing Gentiles (the Body of Yahusha)
the ultimate Seed (Yahusha Himself)
Revelation 12:17: "And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of YAHUAH, and have the testimony of Jesus Yahusha."
VI. The Future of Israel and the Seed Promise
Romans 11: The natural branches were broken off due to unbelief; Gentiles are grafted in. But the natural branches (Jews) can be grafted in again if they believe.
Romans 11:26: "And so all Israel shall be saved."
Meaning the remnant of faithful Jews and grafted-in Gentiles → the true spiritual Israel.
VII. Summary: Abraham’s Seed and Israel
VIII. Why This Matters Today
Prophetic Understanding:
You cannot understand end-times prophecy without understanding the difference between fleshly Israel and spiritual Israel.Identity:
Believers in Yahusha — whether African, European, or Asian — are heirs of Abraham’s promise by faith.Spiritual Warfare:
Satan continues to war against the Seed:He corrupts the Jewish nation through secular Zionism and unbelief.
He corrupts the Church through false teaching and compromise.
Restoration:
YAHUAH is restoring both:A faithful remnant from Israel.
A faithful remnant from all nations — the unified Body of Yahusha.
1️⃣ Context of John 8: Spiritual Fatherhood and the True Seed
Jhn 8:28-30
Jesus speaks truth from the Father → some believe.
But the conflict is about spiritual identity: Who is truly of YAHUAH, and who is not.
2️⃣ The Criteria of True Discipleship
Jhn 8:31-32
"If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
🔹 The true children of Abraham must do more than claim the lineage — they must continue in the Word.
🔹 The truth of Yahusha is what sets one free → not biological descent, not the Law, not rituals.
Relation to Abraham’s Seed:
→ Being Abraham’s true seed means abiding in truth, walking by faith as Abraham did (Genesis 15:6; Romans 4:3).
→ The freedom here is freedom from sin and spiritual bondage, not freedom from political oppression.
3️⃣ The False Confidence of Fleshly Israel
Jhn 8:33
"We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man."
🔹 The Jews answer with fleshly confidence → We are Abraham’s seed!
🔹 But they miss the spiritual condition — they are in bondage to sin, not free.
Relation to Abraham’s Seed:
→ Many today still claim natural descent from Abraham, but unless they are free through Yahusha, they are not heirs of the promise.
→ Paul says clearly: "For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel." (Romans 9:6)
4️⃣ The Real Bondage: Sin
Jhn 8:34-36
"Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin… If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed."
🔹 True freedom is spiritual freedom from sin, not external lineage.
🔹 Only Yahusha, the promised Seed, can give this freedom.
Relation to Abraham’s Seed:
→ The spiritual Seed of Abraham consists of those who are set free by Yahusha → born again into the covenant promise.
→ Those still in sin are not covenant heirs, no matter their ancestry.
5️⃣ The Conflict of Two Seeds
John 8:37-38
"I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me… Ye do that which ye have seen with your father."
🔹 Jesus acknowledges their physical descent: "I know you are Abraham’s seed."
🔹 But He exposes the deeper issue: They are doing the works of another father.
Relation to Spiritual Conflict:
→ This is the essence of the spiritual war over the Seed:
Yahusha = the true Seed
The devil fights against the true Seed and uses counterfeit "seed" → false sons, religious hypocrites, carnal Israel.
6️⃣ The False Claim of Spiritual Sonship
John 8:39-41
"If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham… Ye do the deeds of your father."
🔹 They claim to be Abraham’s children.
🔹 But Jesus says their works prove otherwise.
Relation to Abraham’s Seed:
→ Abraham’s true seed are those who walk in faith, obedience, truth (Romans 4; Galatians 3).
→ Carnal religious people may have Abraham’s blood, but not his faith.
7️⃣ The Ultimate Exposure: Their Father is the Devil
John 8:42-44
"If YAHUAH were your Father, ye would love me… Ye are of your father the devil."
🔹 Jesus cuts through all religious pretense:
If you truly had YAHUAH as your Father, you would love the Son (the promised Seed).
But since you seek to kill Me, you prove that your father is the devil — not Abraham, not YAHUAH.
Relation to Spiritual Conflict:
→ The battle is between two seeds:
The Seed of the woman (Genesis 3:15) → fulfilled in Yahusha → believers are His body.
The Seed of the serpent → children of the devil → persecutors of the true Seed.
→ Here Jesus draws the clear spiritual line:
It is not about ethnic lineage.
It is about spiritual fatherhood:
If you love and follow Yahusha → you are Abraham’s seed.
If you reject Him and walk in sin → you are of the devil’s seed.
8️⃣ Summary: How This Supports the Teaching Outline
Conclusion: Why This Is Crucial
John 8 shows us in the mouth of Yahusha Himself:
✅ There is a physical Israel and a spiritual Israel.
✅ Many who claim Abraham’s seed are not his children in YAHUAH’s sight.
✅ The war between the Seed of Yahusha and the Seed of the devil continues.
✅ The true Seed are those who are set free by the Son and who do the works of Abraham:
faith, obedience, love for Yahusha.
Prophetic Application: False Zionism vs True Spiritual Israel
I. The Spirit of False Zionism Today
A. Claiming Abraham’s Flesh Without His Faith
"We be Abraham’s seed..." — John 8:33
Just like the Jews in John 8, modern Zionism claims the physical promises of Abraham.
But it rejects the true Seed, which is Yahusha (Galatians 3:16).
Modern Israel is largely secular, anti-Yahusha, and ruled by those who deny Messiah.
Many of its leaders and institutions align with the New World Order — not with the YAHUAH of Israel.
B. Deeds Reveal the Spirit
"Ye do the deeds of your father..." — John 8:41
Yahusha told them plainly: Your works prove your father is not Abraham or YAHUAH.
Likewise today, the works of political Zionism include:
Bloodshed
Injustice
Racism
Moral perversion (Israel is one of the world capitals of LGBTQ+ promotion)
Alliance with globalist powers (AI, surveillance, military-industrial complex)
These are not the works of Abraham, who walked by faith and righteousness.
C. Their True Father Is Exposed
"Ye are of your father the devil..." — John 8:44
The Zionist system — rooted in the unbelieving flesh — is aligned with the spirit of antiYahusha.
It rejects Yahusha as Messiah.
It wars against the true Seed — the Body of Yahusha and the faithful remnant of believing Jews.
II. The Nature of True Spiritual Israel
A. Freedom Through Yahusha
"If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed." — John 8:36
The true Seed of Abraham is free — not in religious bondage, not in political Zionism.
It consists of all who are in Yahusha:
Believing Jews
Grafted-in Gentiles (Romans 11)
B. The Works of Abraham
"If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham." — John 8:39
True spiritual Israel walks as Abraham walked:
In faith (Romans 4:12)
In covenant obedience
In love for the Seed — Yahusha
In a life that glorifies YAHUAH among the nations (Isaiah 49:6)
C. The Remnant and the War
"And the dragon... went to make war with the remnant of her seed." — Revelation 12:17
Today, the prophetic war is not between "Yahushaians vs Jews."
It is between:
The dragon and his false seed → including political Zionism and the global Babylon system
The remnant of the woman’s Seed → the faithful body of Yahusha and true spiritual Israel
Political Zionism is being used to manipulate eschatology, drawing Yahushaians into unholy alliances.
III. Warning to the Church
A. Do Not Be Deceived by Fleshly Claims
"For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel." — Romans 9:6
Many evangelical CHRISTIANS have been seduced by false Zionism.
They support an antichrist state believing they are "blessing Israel."
In truth, they are propping up a counterfeit — a system of antichrist, not the covenant people of YAHUAH.
B. The Danger of Harlotry
"Come out of her, my people..." — Revelation 18:4
The modern Zionist system is becoming part of Mystery Babylon:
Financial hubs
LGBTQ+ centers
AI and surveillance networks
Militarized oppression
Those who align with this system in the name of "supporting Israel" will fall under its judgment.
IV. The Prophetic Call
A. Recognize the True Seed
"If ye be Yahusha’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed..." — Galatians 3:29
The Body of Yahusha is the true Israel of YAHUAH (Galatians 6:16).
Our loyalty must be to the Kingdom of YAHUAH, not to fleshly nationalism or political Zionism.
B. Stand With the Remnant
There is a faithful remnant among the Jewish people — and among all nations.
We must preach the Gospel to all, including to Jews — not flatter their flesh, but call them to the true Messiah.
C. Prepare for the Final Conflict
The Beast system will use political Zionism to deceive many (Revelation 13).
The final war is not about land but about allegiance to Yahusha vs the Beast.
The Church must awaken and break all soul-ties with the counterfeit Zion and align fully with the true Seed.
Summary Prophetic Word
"They say, 'We are Abraham’s seed' — but they do not the works of Abraham. They reject the Son and war against the saints. They gather under the banner of Zion — but not the Zion of YAHUAH. Behold, I shall sift the nations, and the remnant shall return. My Zion shall be established in righteousness, and the Seed of Abraham — in Yahusha — shall reign forever."
