In Deuteronomy 23:2 we read; A bas-tard shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the Lord. You ever wonder what the Lord is trying to show here. We know by scripture that the law is spiritual, so what is the Spirit saying here in this verse of the law?
A bas-tard is a child born out of wedlock, or an illegitimate child. In Hebrews 12:8 we read; But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bas-tards, and not sons. This verse is showing the difference between those illegitimate sons, and of those sons who are truly born again of God the Father by way of His Spirit as seen here in Romans 8:14; For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. Galatians 4:6; And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
So the seed is spiritual, just as the meaning of those who are legit sons or illegitimate sons is also spiritual. We also see the difference between the two seeds here in 1 Peter 1:23; Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. The 2 seeds are this; those who are of the serpents evil seed, (flesh, and of the spirit of this world) and those who are born again from above by the Holy Spirit (womans seed, and are spirit)
So who are the illegitimate sons, (born of a different father)? Jesus shows us the difference here in John 8:44; Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do . So this is the other spiritual seed, which is the serpents seed vs. the womans seed as seen here in Genesis 3:15; 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.
The serpents seed are those who are firstborn of this world, who also are flesh (carnally minded.) The womans seed are those who are born again from above and are spirit (spiritually minded.) This symbolism is also shown in the sons of the bondwoman vs. the sons of the freewoman. Galatians 4:30; Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.
So the firstborn man being flesh is the illegitimate son being born of the spirit of this world, and is also of their father the devil because of being born into sin (bondage of sin) therefore they are also sons of the bondwoman. This also speaks of those being born of the spirit of that Wicked, being a son of Belial, or the evil man of sin; who also is also the son that shall go into destruction (son of perdition) being that firstborn fleshy minded man.
Jesus said in John 3:6; That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. As the scriptures also say that flesh and blood shall not inherit the Kingdom of God, just as the illegitimate sons of the bondwoman (flesh) shall not be fellow heirs with the sons of the freewoman (Spirit). Which also speaks of the same as the Lord said in the opening verse of this thread, that the illegitimate shall not enter the congregation of the Lord.
