Among the bible story, I will tell you about the God's seed and Abraham's seed.
I'm not that good either, but I hope this helps.
Bible Story, Abraham's son, Ishmael and Issac
Abraham had a wife named Sarah, and Sarah had a maidservant named Hagar.
Abraham had First son born from Hagar, named Ishmael,
and another son born from Sarah, named Isaac.
Isaac was born from the woman of promise, while Ishmael was born from a servant.
(Gn 16 ~ 17, Gn 18:1-15, 21:1-7)
Bible Story, The standard to become child of Abraham
God spoke to Abraham(Gn 21:12),
“It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned.”
God’s word of law is the standard to become Abraham’s child, born with Abraham’s seed.
Therefore, it can be said that one is only a gentile
if he is not born with Abraham’s seed.
Ishmael was the older brother of Isaac.
Ishmael was born of Abraham’s seed ; so one may think,
“Why was Ishmael not born of Abraham’s seed?”
This is because God’s Word is the Law.
하나님께서 아브라함에게 말씀하시길 "이삭에게서 난 자라야 아브라함의 씨이다"라고 하셨습니다.
그런데 이스마엘은 아브라함의 씨로 난 아들이자 이삭이 형입니다.
그렇다면, '이스마엘은 아브라함의 씨가 아니란 말인가?'란 생각을 할 수 있습니다.
여기서 우리가 중점을 둬야 할 것은 '하나님의 말씀이 법'이란 것입니다.
아브라함의 씨가 되는 기준은 하나님이 지시하신 말씀입니다.
Bible Story, God’s work to accomplish His purpose
After Hagar and Ishmael were sent away from the house of Sarah and Isaac,
they resided in the Desert of Paran (the desert located in the middle of Sinai Peninsula);this desert was close to Egypt.
Since Ishmael married a woman from Egypt (Gn 21:8-21),
this event is synonymous with the event in Genesis 6,
when the son of God married the daughters of the earth and became the same flesh.
Sinai Peninsula is a desert where people cannot reside.
This is why people residing in this desert had no other choice but to move towards Egypt, ending up becoming one with Egyptians.
Afterwards, Abraham looked for Hagar and Ishmael and helped them.
The fact that Abraham, Jacob, and Jesus went to Egypt (Mt 2:13-23)
and that Moses started his work in Egypt
was all part of God’s work to accomplish His purpose.
Abraham’s maidservant, Hagar, was a woman from Egypt,
along with the wife of Ishmael (Gn 16:3, 21:9).
In fact, the Israelites who originated from Jacob, the son of Isaac, were a single people,
and were not to be married to others from different nations (Ex 34:15-16).
This was put into effect from the time of the Law.
아브라함이 애굽에 간 것도, 야곱이 애굽에 간 것도, 모세가 애굽에서역사를 시작한 것도,
예수님이 애굽에 가신 것도 하나님께서 역사를 이루시기 위한 과정중의 하나였습니다.
Bible Story, God promised a new scenario
Until the coming of Jesus, the people, or the descendants of Abraham,
who were born since the time of Adam(the betrayers),
were those born of the seed of flesh.
They constantly broke the covenants of God.
For this reason, God promised a new scenario,
which He promised through the Old Testament prophets(Jer 31).
Jesus fulfilled this promise by sowing the seed,
which was the secrets of the kingdom of heaven.
It was not the physical seed of Abraham, but it was God's seed.
The sowing of this seed of God (Mt 13:24)
was the new work and the new covenant.
아담의 세계, 노아의 세계, 모세의 세계가 하나같이 하나님의 언약을 지키지 않았습니다.
그리하여 하나니님은 새로운 시나리오를 약속하셨고,
이 약속을 예수님이 이루셨으니 곧 천국 비밀인 '시 뿌리는 일'이었습니다.
하나님의 씨를 뿌리는 것이 바로 새 일이며, 새 언약입니다.
Bible Story, harvest the fruit of the seed that was sown.
Those who are born of God’s seed are not born of natural descent,
nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God (Jn 1:13).
The seed of the new covenant was sown,
and it grew for the last 2,000 years (proclaiming of the gospel).
Jesus returns to harvest the fruit of the seed that was sown.
According to Matthew 24 (v. 29-31), Luke 13 (v. 28-30), and Revelation 14 (v. 14-16),
those who harvest are Jesus and angels.
They harvest with sickles, which symbolize flesh.
In other words, the Lord uses people (who have the Word) to harvest
; the ones who harvest are both spirit and flesh.
Because Jesus and angels are spirits,
they harvest a flesh that is born of God’s seed.
This is why they use a flesh (a sickle) to harvest.
하나님의 씨로 난 자는 육과 혈통으로가 아닌 하나님께로서 난 자입니다.
새 언약의 씨는 2천년간 뿌려쪄 자라왔고,
예수님이 다시 오실 때는 뿌린 씨의 열매를 추수하기 위해 오십니다.
Bible Story, the resemblance of God’s image and likeness
Everyone born of God’s seed does not have the image of people born
of the seed of Adam (for example, Adam, Noah, Abraham, and Moses), the betrayer:
they bear the resemblance of God’s image and likeness.
Although we are wearing our flesh as an external surface,
our inner person is born into God’s image, and is born only of God’s seed,
not of Abraham’s seed and natural descent (man) nor of the seed of gentiles and man.
If one takes off his own flesh, his inner person will be shown.
If he clothes himself with the holy spirit, the clothes his flesh used to wear will disappear.
If one says he practices his faith,
it means he knows the only true God and His will,
and acts according to God’s will.
In doing so, he can become God’s offspring and God’s child.
This is how one becomes the family of God’s kingdom (heaven).
하나님의 씨로 난 자는 하나님의 모양과 형상을 닮는 것입니다.
우리가 껍데기는 육신을 입었으나 속사람은 오직 하나님의 형상과 하나님의 씨로 된 것입니다.
우리가 신앙을 하는 것은 참 하나님을 알고, 그 뜻을 알고, 그 뜻대로 하는 것이며,
그렇게 함으로써 하나님의 자녀가 되는 것입니다.
