The Seed of Satan
Dan 2:41-43
And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided...
Why?
but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay...
Clay is the earth that mankind was made from.
42 And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken...
It is the iron in the nation of mankind that will give strength and power to the new antichrist kingdom. So if man is clay, who is the iron?
43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they ( the iron ) shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.
(KJV)
Because they do not cling together.
"And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer."
Rev 6:2-4
This would appear to be a world war.
"And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword."
This appears to be civil war. Here we see that the forces shall not cleave/cling to one another. In fact they appear to war with each other.
So what is this other seed that mingles with the seed of mankind? Speaking to satan God said,
"I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel." Gen 3:15
Clearly we can see that satan has a seed. If Jesus Christ came from the seed of God, then the antichrist will come from the seed of satan. So where does the seed of satan come from?
Gen 6:4-5
"There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, ( the clay ) and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. ( the giants of ancient legends ) And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
I purpose that the iron that gives the beast empire it's power is the governing force of the fallen angels and the military force of the giants who have been documented coming back to Israel in 1999. The Jews feel that the Nephilim giants will return before the coming of their Messiah.
"But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be."
So what was it like in the days of Noah? Giants roamed the land and every imagination of the thoughts of mankind's heart was evil continually. There is historic evidence that that the "Star gods/Fallen Angles came down, mated with all the women, and ruled over mankind. The star gods acted as the governing council while the giants made war with all peoples around them. There is also evidence that they cannibalized mankind.
"For nation ( iron ) shall rise against nation ( clay ), and ( satan's ) kingdom against ( man's ) kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows." Matt 24:7-8
"Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD."
Ezek 39:20
The word mighty is used for men of war and the Nephilim giants. Notice that the above scripture clearly shows two separate groups of mighty men. One human, and the other the seed of satan.
The Tares / The Fallen Darnel Seeds
"Another parable He put forth to them, saying: "The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field;
25 "but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way.
26 "But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared.
27 "So the servants of the owner came and said to him, 'Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?'
28 "He said to them, 'An enemy has done this.' The servants said to him, 'Do you want us then to go and gather them up?'
29 "But he said, 'No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them.
30 'Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, "First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn." Matt 13:24-32
(NKJ)
Easton's Bible Dictionary
The bearded darnel, mentioned only in Matthew 13:25-30. It is the Lolium temulentum, a species of rye-grass, the seeds of which are a strong soporific poison. It bears the closest resemblance to wheat till the ear appears, and only then the difference is discovered. It grows plentifully in Syria and Palestine.
Smith's Bible Dictionary
There can be little doubt that the zizania of the parable, (Matthew 13:25) denotes the weed called "darnel" (Lolium temulentum ). The darnel before it comes into ear is very similar in appearance to wheat; hence the command that the zizania should be left to the harvest, lest while men plucked up the tares "they should root up also the wheat with them." Dr. Stanley, however, speaks of women and children picking up from the wheat in the cornfields of Samaria the tall green stalks, still called by the Arabs zuwan . "These stalks," he continues, "if sown designedly throughout the fields, would be inseparable from the wheat, from which, even when growing naturally and by chance, they are at first sight hardly distinguishable." See also Thomson ("The Land and the Book" p. 420): "The grain is in just the proper stage to illustrate the parable. In those parts where the grain has headed out , the tares have done the same, and then a child cannot mistake them for wheat or barley; but where both are less developed, the closest scrutiny will often fail to detect them. Even the farmers, who in this country generally weed their fields, do not attempt to separate the one from the other." The grains of the L. temulentum , if eaten, produce convulsions, and even death.
Strange Flesh
"Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. Jude 1:7"
(KJV)
STRANGE
2087 heteros (het'-er-os);
of uncertain affinity; (an-, the) other or different:
KJV-- altered, else, next (day), one, (an-) other, some, strange.
