Q:"Seth is mentioned only twice after his life is told. In Ge.Ch. 4 he seems 'as appointed by God' to serve the same office as Jesus the branch. Can you explain?
A:Out of the root of Jesse we have a Branch, "and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:"(Is.11:1) Certainly a Messianic prophecy which is applied to Seth as well. God's curse on serpent, "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," is basically the enmity of the Law of the Spirit and the law of sin. (Ge.3:15) Serpent was cursed under the head of the latter. The sons of perdition arises from this point. Evidence of this enmity we have in this line, "And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel."(He.12:24) Abel's blood cries for vengeance while Seth quietly stepping into the breach made by Cain is after his likeness.' God sets his after our image, the soul aspect. Whereas Seth serves as the role of fulfilling what Jesus would have done, When God calls David as a man after my heart. "'I have found David son of Jesse a man after my own heart; he will do everything I want him to do."(Ac.13:22)
Eve chooses the name Seth inspired by the word as he does as Jesus Christ the Word made flesh would have done. " For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew."(4:25)"Another seed refers to the sons of God (Ro.8:14) while Seth is according to the flesh, son of Adam,' after his likeness'. Salvation offered by Jesus refers to the generation of Jesus Christ. (Matt.1:1). The Spirit sets the context by the life of Seth, by delineating a holy family, appointed by God' another seed.
I left out inadvertently the last line, and a crucial one. "then began men to call upon the name of the Lord." What does the Spirit refer with the word, "then"? (4:25) It refers to the phrase 'In the beginning"( John 1:1) and the day decreed for the Son. "for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die."(Ge.2"17) It is part of the generation of Jesus Christ.
