Any thoughts on the meaning of this verse? It's found in Genesis 22.
That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
My first thought was to wonder exactly what is meant by the term, "thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;" Is the term "gate" here referring to something in the spirit realm? Or does it refer to physical gates, i.e., trade routes, points of entry, etc.
Also, is this a promise that applies to all of Abraham's spiritual decendants? Or is the term "seed" speaking specifically about The Lord Jesus Christ?
What are your thoughts?
