Finding Messiah in Yitschak Barach
“And 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
Just as Abraham’s two seeds, Ishmael and Isaac, represent the line of the seed of the serpent (Ishmael) and the line of the seed of the woman (Isaac), Isaac’s two seeds, Esau and Jacob, represent the line of the seed of the serpent (Esau) and the line of the Seed of the woman (Jacob). The Seed of the woman, who is Messiah, bruises the head(ship) of the seed of the serpent, just as Isaac did of Ishmael’s, and just as Jacob did of Esau’s, by receiving the blessing God fully intended for him from his mother’s womb.
And YHVH said unto her, “Two nations are in your womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from your body; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.” Gen 25:23
Because Jacob was the blessed seed, the enmity of Esau was upon him, just as Cain’s was of Abel, and Ishmael’s was of Isaac, and, we will see, the sons of Jacob was of Joseph.
