In Isaac Shall Thy Seed Be Called
by William Bell
The problem most have with interpreting the "seed" in Jeremiah 31:35-37 is beginning in the "middle" or at the "end" rather than at the beginning. God defined the "seed" of Abraham in Gen. 12:7; 21:12; 22:18 (which by the way is none other than the "seed" in Gen. 3:15).
He said, "In Isaac shall thy seed be called". A significant point about Isaac is that God commands Abraham to "kill him" (offer him as a sacrifice) which he did (Gen. 22:1-12; Heb. 11:17-19).

In This Mountain "The Death" Is Swallowed Up In Victory
Is the Death Swallowed up in victory?
And in this mountain the Lord of hosts will make for all people a feast of choice pieces, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, Of well-refined wines on the lees, and He will destroy on this mountain the surface of the covering cast over all people, and the veil that is spread over all nations. He will swallow up death forever, and the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces; the rebuke of His people ...

Dr. Brown spent the majority of his time establishing a point from Romans 11 that the context ...
