WHO ARE THE HOLY SEED?

I have a great book that goes into this in detail.

Basically, it boils down to this in my mind.  The holy seed are those who have first, the Blood of Abraham in them and secondly, the blood of the Savior coursing through their veins.  I talked about the posterity of Christ in a previous post.  I had a commenter that was a little aghast at the idea.  Yes - if Christ had sons and daughters, they would be one quarter seed of God himself.

Through Abraham, all of the nations were blessed with physical prosperity and intelligence.  Through the lions of Christ, all of the nations were blessed with spiritual prosperity.  Meaning; they readily accepted the Gospel when it was presented to them - AND the spiritual gifts were manifested liberally in those of the Holy Seed.

God has always created portals (doors that must be passed thru in order to have a continuation of the seed) to create an infusion of greatness amongst those of this fallen telestial world.  As things decayed after Adam, God used Enoch to harvest the great among the posterity and then sent the flood to remove the rebellious.  This left only Noah and three faithful sons and their wives to continue.  A portal.  Of those three, Shem (Melchizedek) did well in creating the city of Salem that was once again taken up with the faithful, leaving Abraham and Sarah to create another portal through which all nations have been blessed and infused with his goodness.  This is a re-booting of the system, so to speak.

Through the loins of Judah came Christ, who, infused with the greatness and purity of His mother and the power and majesty of Father, created a portal (by way of three wives), through which came another incredible infusion of greatness into the human family.  A bursting forth of a palette of vibrant colors in an otherwise dreary and dreadfully dull and monochrome world.  This infusion creating such works of art such as the Founding Fathers, Joseph Smith, and most of those who came readily and quickly into Gospel without doubt and reservation.  Embracing it fully and faithfully.  When they sin, they are quick to repentance and seeking to grasp once again, the iron rod - because the call to truth and justice is a strong one in them.  This is the legacy of those who are of the Holy Seed.  When I bump into one, I can pick them out of a crowd.  Their stories are almost all the same.  They have unique gifts and are driven to the truth.  Often, they feel like strangers in a strange land.  Lost in this world - but hopeful for the future one where all will be right, or made right.  Many find themselves on places like this blog.

I have listened to 2 Nephi 16 two mornings in a row now - and the end of it always jumps out at me.  The following verses talk of the rejection of Christ by His own, Judah.  But how a remnant will return prior to the destruction at the end.  This is one tenth - a tithe, so to speak of those who were cast off for having ears too dull to hear and eyes that would not see.  Those who make it through what is coming (the next portal of fire and destruction), will be called holy; or Holy Seed. 

From this stock, God will raise a righteous seed that will live on for the next 1,000 years without molestation or to be made afraid by those that are left on the earth.  It will be a blessed and blissful time.

5 Then said I: Wo is unto me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips; and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of Hosts.

6 Then flew one of the seraphim unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar;

7 And he laid it upon my mouth, and said: Lo, this has touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.

8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then I said: Here am I; send me.

9 And he said: Go and tell this people—Hear ye indeed, but they understood not; and see ye indeed, but they perceived not.

10 Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes—lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted and be healed.

11 Then said I: Lord, how long? And he said: Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate;

12 And the Lord have removed men far away, for there shall be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.

13 But yet there shall be a tenth, and they shall return, and shall be eaten, as a teil tree, and as an oak whose substance is in them when they cast their leaves; so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof.
