who or what is serpent seed as spoken in genesis?

[kingdavid]

when the Lord cursed the serpent and said, i will put emity between thy seed and her seed...

i know that her seed testified of christ but what about the serpent's seed? i have only heard one under the inspiration of the Holy ghost explain this topic. this was the man of God named william branham. however, most refute his teaching on this yet they can't give an accurate answer at all.

sounds idiotic to me to refute the divine interpretation of a subject and not be able to give a right answer yourself. makes me think those refuting are the religious scoffers the apostles spoke of.

5 Now, last evening we were giving the--the thought of why we was not a organized--a denomination. And we--just a little backgrounds for this, is because we find that in a denomination it draws a barrier. Now, we've got many things to discuss. And we discussed it, why we did not accept women ministers in the church last night. And this morning we want a--the subject, if we--possible, the "Baptism Of The Holy Spirit," and why we believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and how the baptism of the Holy Spirit comes, and what it does, and how it makes you act afterwards. And then tonight, if the Lord willing, I want to speak on the subject; "The Seed of the Serpent" of this--In This day. Now, the people don't believe in the seed of the serpent, but it's Scripture. See? Now, regardless of... Now, this... If I make this real strong, I'm not meaning it now to you--to you dear people. The only thing I'm trying to do is drive it in, and we're going to make it rough. You see? So you got to speak like...

47 Here he is, the serpent. Here he was a great big fellow. And the devil comes down. Now, he says, "I can inspire." Now, when you go to looking at women and actions of women, remember you are anointed of the devil, if it's not your own wife. Notice. Now, the devil come down and got into the serpent, and he found Eve in the garden of Eden naked. And he talked about the fruit in the midst, the "midst" means "middle" and so forth. You understand in a mixed congregation. And he said, "Now, it's pleasant. It's good to the eye." What did he do? He begin making love to Eve. And he lived with her as a husband. And she saw it was pleasant, so she went and told her husband; but she was already pregnant by Satan. And she brought forth her first son whose name was Cain, the son of Satan. "Now," you say, "that's wrong." All right, we'll just find out whether it's wrong or not. "And I will put enmity between thy seed and the serpent's seed." What? The serpent's seed. She had a seed, and he had a seed. "And he shall bruise thy head, and you shall bruise his heel." A "bruise" there means "to make an atonement." Now, there's your seed of the serpent. Now, notice, here comes these two men out. Now, this serpent, when he stood there... This great big giant of a fellow stood up there.

51 If there was no more females than Eve, when she died the human race ceased to exist. They had to have daughters. He'd have to marry his own sister. He went to the land of Nod and got--and got his wife; and when he married her in there, there's where they found those great big giants, which were fallen sons of God who came through their daddy, the devil through Cain. There's your missing link. And watch the seed of the serpent. Now, watch. Remember the seed of the serpent is religious. Watch it start moving now for a few minutes. Here goes the seed of the serpent. What happened to them? Now, let me just read something here I just wrote down this afternoon. What come through the line of Abel? Listen to this. All right. Along came Abel. After Abel come Seth. After Seth come Noah. After Noah come Shem. After Shem come Abraham. After Abraham come Isaac. After Isaac come Jacob. After Jacob come Judah. After Judah come David. After David come Christ to the perfection. Watch back there how the Spirit of God lived in Abel. Look how it lived in Seth. Look how it lived in Judah.

Now, here comes the seed of the--of the serpent. Now, remember, there'll be enmity, war between them. The seed of the serpent comes along, and what does it produce? Now, let's take the first few years. Now, watch what takes place to them. We'll read it right down 'cause I just checked it up. The seed of the serpent produced Cain. Cain went to the land of Nod, produced giants, and then they come to the land of Noah. They were smart educated, intelligent people. Is that right? They were builders, inventors, scientists: Not through the seed of the righteous, but through the seed of Satan, the serpent. They were such men as--as scientists, builders, and great men, educators; the Scripture says so. They worked brass; they worked iron; they worked metals. They invented things.

And I'd like to climb up on this pulpit, and grab this microphone in my hand, stick my feet over the pulpit and say this: "And today where is your great intellectuals?" Your pastor that's gone down and got a lot of intellectual knowledge, and he stands up. He's the pastor of the biggest churches there is in the country, and so forth like that... Where does the seed of the serpent staying at? In the smart intelligent places like that: smart, shrewd scholars, there's where he is at. That's where he lays. "Not by power, not by might, but by My Spirit, saith the Lord." See? There's where you... And you take the little brother standing down on the corner, crying his eyes out, and maybe standing down there beating an old guitar saying, "Brothers, come, find the Lord." Pastor walk by, "Humph, I wouldn't have my congregation... Why, I wouldn't associate... wouldn't let--wouldn't let Liddie and Johnny and them see me around such a place as that."

64 What difference is it between body, soul, and spirit?
The body is the flesh that you look at that must rot. It was born by sexual desire of father and mother. It must rot. It's no good. Therefore in the new birth, in the resurrection when--when you're brought forth again in a new body, it'll be God's creative power that'll speak like He did to Adam and you'll come forth.
Would you please explain your theory that Eve conceived Cain of the devil?
I never said that; I said Eve conceived Cain of the serpent.
In Genesis 4, once--1st verse, clearly states that Adam knew his wife Eve, and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, "I have gotten a man from God."
Absolutely. All life has to come from God. John Dillinger come from God. Adolf Hitler come from God. Every... George--George Whitfield come from God, and so did Bob Ingersoll. Every person come from God. But what I said is this: And I want someone to just tear it down. See? The Bible said that He would put (in Genesis 3:8). I... The... When the question was asked when Eve had been--something had happened to her, she met the serpent... Now the serpent was not a snake; he was a beast, the most subtle of everything in the field. There was nothing... Today science is looking for a bone of some animal that connects man and monkey together. The closest they got is a chimpanzee. They can't find a bone. They'll never, because it's a serpent. It's a revelation of God. Watch. The serpent was a--like a prehistoric man, something next to God--or next to man. And that's the only thing. If any other animal would've happened to--Satan would've got on them, the seed would not have mixed with the woman. You can't mix a human seed with any kind of an animal seed. It won't work. But this animal that will mix the seed is complete; it's extinct. God turned him to a snake. But remember when... Said, "Why did you hide? Why did you cover yourself with fig leaves?"

65 Then they begin to pass the buck as the army is. "Well," Adam said, "the woman that You give me enticed me to take of the fruit." And the woman said, "The serpent beguiled me." Now, what does "beguile" mean? "She--he beguiled me." And God said, "I'll put enmity between your seed and the serpent's seed." Seed, the serpent had a literal seed, and it come through Cain. Through Cain come all the smart, educated people down to the antediluvian flood. And behind that come Abel who was killed, and Seth was raised up in his place to represent the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. And from him come the humble people, sheepherders and so forth, but the God-fearing people. And Jesus said the children of this world are wiser, smarter, than the children of the Kingdom. That's right. We can't compare with them. Don't try to put yourself up to be like them. Humble yourself before God. Don't desire to be smart and wise; just desire to know Jesus and let it alone, for there lays the seed of the serpent today. And people are glorying because scientists, and smart men, and educated, and great scholars belong to their churches. I'd rather have a man that really knowed God if he didn't know his a-b-c's to belong to my church (right) as long as he's the seed of Christ.

There was both Jesus and Judas incarnate right there: God and the devil. On the cross of Calvary there was four people dying. There was a thief on each side of Jesus, and Judas hung himself on a sycamore tree, which is a cross: "Cursed is he that hangeth on a tree." There was one thief said, "If Thou be the Son of God, take us down." The other one said, "Lord, we do justly; we getting punished; but You've done nothing. Remember me when You come into Your Kingdom." Jesus said, "Today shalt thou be with Me in paradise." There was the--Jesus, the Gospel Preacher, preaching on the cross. There was Satan going back to hell, taking with him the seed of the serpent, the unbeliever. There was God going back to heaven taking with Him a repented sinner, the seed of the woman. Certainly. It was not the seed of the devil; it was the seed of the serpent. And the serpent had a seed; the Bible said it had a seed. And it still exists today, the seed of the serpent, so much...

Science trying to find now, the--the bones of some creature between a monkey and a man, and applying it to colored race and so forth like that, they're as ignorant as they can come. The serpent was a man. The blood of a animal won't mix with the blood of a human. No, sir. But this species was so close between there till he did mix, and Satan knew that--a great giant of a fellow. Isn't it strange that they found great giants in the land after this? I wish Josephus, the writer, would've thought of that. Where'd those giants come from? The seed of the serpent. The Bible said that He would--he would cause the seed of the serpent... The seed of the serpent, the serpent had a seed, and the seed of the woman... But we'd better leave them alone.

88 "Will this man give his body, to eat that? Now, he's mad, sure enough." The Bread of Life was from the Tree of Life, where they was eating, from the garden of Eden. He was the Tree of Life. Now, if the Tree of Life was a Person, then the tree of knowledge was a person. Now, say the serpent didn't have a seed. If life come by man, death come by the woman. All right, she was the tree of death. As soon as--as this one defiled her, which he did (the serpent), she said, "The serpent beguiled me." That's right. Not a snake; he was the most subtle of all the beasts; he was between a chimpanzee and a man. Seed of a animal won't cross with a woman: won't do it; but this fellow was; he was the next link to it. And God put such a curse on him, He put him plumb back on his belly, and no legs, and took every bone in him and changed it from anything like a man. Science trying to dig it up in a field...

I--I know they always climb down my neck on this. But the Bible said that the serpent had a seed. That settles it. The serpent's seed, let it be any way you want to take it, we'll restrain from that; I got my idea too. But they--but le... Be whatever it will, the Bible said in Genesis 1, the--the first of Genesis, that the serpent had a seed. And now remember, the serpent was not a snake to begin with, a reptile. He was the next thing to a human being. Science has tried for thousands of years to find that missing link between man and beast. The closest they can come is to a chimpanzee. But they cannot get from the chimpanzee to the human being. Why? It was a serpent.

19 Now, if you notice in Genesis 3:1, "The beast--the serpent was the most subtil of all the beast of the field." A beast, not a reptile. He was more like a man. He looked like a man. He was that missing link in between there, because that's the only way. The seed of a human will not coincide with the seed of a animal. But this fellow was the only one the devil could use because it was just between man and beast. And the genealogies... I believe in evolution. The first thing maybe, when there was nothing but just plain chaos, volcanic eruption. You know, God's a great Contractor. You believe that? A great contractor always lays out all of his stuff when he builds his subdivision. God, when He was moving the earth around, creating calcium, potash, and petroleum, and so forth, He was laying our bodies on the earth right then, the material that we're made out of.

21 Now, sin did not start in earth. It begin in heaven, and he was kicked out of heaven and came to the earth. There was nothing else he could get into. The animal would be too far from him, seed wouldn't mix, so he had to get into the serpent which was a being more like a man. And when God cursed him and put him on his belly, He changed every bone in him. Science trying to dig up bones and that... Why, it's hid in the mysteries of God, and will reveal it to anybody that wants to know about it, sure. There is... Now, watch, he was the most subtil, most shrewd, cunning, wisdom, smarter than the animal. He was right next to the man (See?), the most subtil of all the beasts of the field. And now, remember, that Cain was given a mark. And now, you say, "Satan could not've been that serpent." If you'll go with me now over to II Corinthians 11:14, the Bible said he transformed himself into an angel of light. You just underestimate Satan; that's all. See? Yes, sir. He made himself into an angel of light. If he could come into that kind of a substance, then why could he not come into a beast, next thing to a man?

53 Just think, from Genesis to Revelations there never was nobody baptized in the name of Father, Son, Holy Ghost. It's a false baptism. I stood before three hundred and something preachers of the greater ministerial association of Chicago the other day, and proved that till they all cried to one another. Seventy of them is coming to be baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus. And the serpent's seed has been from Genesis. If the serpent didn't, if he had no seed, then Christ was not born; because He said, "I'll put enmity between your Seed and the serpent's seed." And if the serpent's seed was a myth so was Christ a myth, so is the church a myth. See, it's all, you can't separate it. The serpent had a seed, and that's the one that really staggers them. Why can't they understand it? Because they don't have the revelation of it. Why don't they come and argue it with me? Pulpit's open all the time; I'll meet anyone. I wouldn't argue with them, but I'd sure discuss it with them; if they want to ask them out there before the association. I want some of you to tell me where it's wrong.

I'd like for somebody to show me any different correct baptism besides the Name of Jesus Christ. I'd like for somebody to show me a Scripture that says the serpent didn't have a seed. I'd like for somebody to show me a Scripture that says there's three gods. Then they say, "Well, what is it?" God sent me His Message and bears record of it. He confirms the Word with signs following. That's what the Bible said. They can't deny that; it's a fact. But what did they do? They misunderstand it, because I didn't come in the name of the Assemblies of God, the Oneness, or the Twoness, or the Threeness, or the Church of God, or the Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterian, Lutheran.

9 But if you'll just read in Genesis, the Bible said that the serpent had a seed, "And I'll put enmity between the serpent's seed and the woman's Seed." So the serpent had a seed. And if the serpent's seed was spiritual, then Jesus was not a man, so the woman's Seed was spiritual. They both had seeds, and the enmity is still there. The serpent had a seed. And if you'll just take your Bible and get down and be real reverent before God, I believe God will reveal it to you.

Man can find monkeys and chimpanzee--chimpanzees, and so forth, but they can't find that link that connects man and beast together. There he is. God cursed him so far he can't come back again (That's right.), for this evil act that he did. He was the only seed that would mix. Now, the other day, standing preaching, there was a bunch of Catholic people in my audience, and I said, "You Catholic people that call Jesus, or call Mary, rather, the mother of God, how can God have a mother when He's eternal? He can't have a mother. Jesus was not even anything to Mary, but He was just... She was an incubator that hatched Him." Well, they always believed, and I had an idea of it myself years ago that the--the immaculate conception was that God overshadowed her and put a blood cell in there, but the egg come from the woman. If the egg come from the woman, there has to come a sensation to bring the egg through the tube to the womb. See what you do with God? You make Him in a sexual mess.

He had to send a flood and destroy the whole bunch. Judgment come on for that false union. Judgment struck Eden because of a false union. Now, did the serpent has a seed? Shame on you. A false union brought judgment on the earth to Eve and Adam in Eden. And a false union brought the floods of God's judgment on the earth because that the daughters of Cain flirted with the sons of God, and they fell for it and united together again. There you are. False union, "Nothing could happen." What did God do? He destroyed the whole thing, all but precious old Noah and his family. He... They got together. And again after that, after the death of Noah, and that spiritual family of Noah, first thing you know, the children of men begin to look to one another again. What did they do?
