The DNA of Scripture

Did you know that Scripture has DNA? Another light came on tonight while I was studying my Sunday School lesson. (Hope no one from my class reads this till after Sunday.)

We all now know about DNA. That marvelous thread that makes us who we are and yet unites us as the human race. Scientists have already admitted there is a common ancestor for man, (although some of them still insist that we crawled out of the murky swamps & evolved into the intelligent beings we are today). But there is that common thread of life that runs through us all. That common thread is found in Scripture, as well.
There is the physical thread of life and the Scriptural thread of life. Confused? I hope I can explain what I mean.

The physical thread of life, running from Adam & Eve, winding its way through generation after generation and into all generations to come. Oh, but the Scriptural thread of life is even more astounding! After the fall of man & God pronounces His most severe curse/judgment on the serpent, He states in Genesis 3:15 KJV "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." This is not just speaking of the serpent that was used by Satan. This is a promise that the seed of a woman will conquer Satan once & for all. So the Scriptural DNA begins to wind it's way through prophecy after prophecy to the birth of Christ. For Christ was the seed of a woman, not that of a man. Christ's death & resurrection continues the Scriptural DNA as it runs forward to Revelation chapter 12. As Christ has ascended into heaven, Satan turns his wrath on the woman who gave birth to Him - not Mary, but Israel. Still that thread of Scriptural DNA is moving until we see the final destruction of Satan in Revelation 20:10, fulfilling the promise made in Genesis 3:15. But just as the physical DNA continues in the lives of generations to come, so the Scriptural DNA continues in the promise of life everlasting for those who claim the name of Jesus.  Hallelujah! Amen!!  Do you see it?
