Firstborn Recognition of Adam’s Seed
Exodus 13:1 Then the Lord spoke to
Moses, saying, 2 “Consecrate to Me all the
firstborn, whatever opens the womb among the children of Israel, both of
man and beast; it is Mine.”
============
GOD spoke to Moses telling him to “consecrate” the
firstborn. To consecrate means to officially make something holy or to dedicate
it entirely to a sacred purpose. Whether it was an animal or male, the
firstborn was supposed to be dedicated to GOD.
My Observations:
- Adam’s
seed passes down the curse of GOD, therefore no human is worthy of opening
up the scrolls mentioned in Revelation.
- GOD
is setting up a ceremonial redemption by having the firstborn males
remember they need GOD.
- As
a reminder of the curse, GOD told Moses to have every family set aside the
firstborn male, making him surrender to following HIM.
Women are off the hook when it came to the consecration of
the firstborn. When Adam refused to follow GOD’s statement of not eating from
the Tree of Knowledge, GOD placed a curse on his seed. BUT GOD also made a way
to redeem humans.
JESUS volunteered to become the human who would be perfect.
Instead of the seed coming from a man, an immaculate conception would be
needed. Meanwhile, the men had to symbolically recognize the need for
redemption. All firstborn males would need to point to the first human, namely
Adam. GOD would not be forgotten.
Challenge
- Why
does GOD remind Moses about HIS conversation concerning the firstborn
males?
- How
often do you ponder the need for GOD’s salvation?
- Are
you willing to throw away belief and remembrance of JESUS for any limiting
belief that opposes HIM?
