Thank you for your reply, Yetzirah.....now let me ask you this. If you have a son, it is said he came out of your loins is it not? Loins means the seat of the ability to reproduce the nature of a thing. Spiritually speaking, it can mean also mind or heart, the innermost being.
So even though your son is not you, in that you are separate IN THE FLESH, yet he is you, because you carried him in your loins, and he carries your DNA, the "mark" of YOUR seed.
Messiah was quite literally, the invisible thought in the heart of the Father, that once reproduced, became the visible pattern Son displaying all the attributes of the Father's innermost desires. This is the same principle of G-d speaking (a thought manifested) the creation into existence.
So this "mark", is what enables Him to beget children, SPIRITUAL children, and is what enables Abraham our father (father = first in rank, position or originator of) to receive honor and glory in the blessing that he would begat or be a FATHER or bring forth SEED, in which ALL THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH, would be blessed.
Why is Abraham blessed through this? Because Abraham was the father of our faith, the first to believe G-d, the first to lay down the natural promise (Isaac) to obtain the spiritual (ram = the Son that is born of the Spirit) and most importantly, the first to look for a city (multiple habitations) made without hands = the SPIRITUAL body of believers who have been taken from every kindred and every nation, birthed by the will of the Spirit and not the lust of the flesh of man.
In other words, when Messiah said, Abraham saw my day and was glad, what Abraham saw was the Spiritual Son of G-d that was still in the Father's loins, and that moved him to look for what he had seen, in the natural. Because Yeshua's body is not made with hands, nor can you say, look He is there, or lo, He is here, because It is a many-membered body, a body of magnificent SPIRIT enrobed in lowly flesh, the firstborn of which was Yeshua, the pattern Son.
