This word is differently used in Scripture—sometimes in figure, and at others literally. It is used in a way of figure when spoken of the word of God; thus Christ compares his word to "seed cast into the ground." (Luke 8:5) Peter calls it the "incorruptible seed which liveth and abideth for ever." (1 Peter 1:23) But it is used in a literal sense also when referring to the increase of men or beasts. (Jeremiah 31:27) And it is used in a spiritual sense when the faithful in Christ Jesus are called the seed of Abraham, (Galatians 3:29) And yet in a still more peculiar, personal, and eminent manner when considered in relation to our union with Christ; "I will pour my Spirit (saith JEHOVAH to Christ) upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring." (Isaiah 44:3; Isa 59:21)
