Sand as the sea, stars of heaven, many nations, are through the "Seed" singular, you haven't pulled the wool over my eyes! Galatians 3:16KJV 16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. You strike me as being fervent and zealous. You fight hard for your faith. You function on this Forum a lot. Do you not ever wish that you could satisfy ALL scripture? Would you not like to be able to point out the SINGLE SEED of Galatians 3, but at the same time, explain the multitude of seed that were promised to Abraham? They are BOTH there in God's Word, and BOTH deserve equal treatment. "Let us make MAN (plural) and let THEM (plural) have dominion."

For instance, Psalm 96:1 says literally: “Sing to Jehovah, all the earth.” We know that our planet cannot sing. People sing. This Psalm is referring to the people on the earth. If “heavens” can symbolize the superior ruling power or government so, to “earth.” represents a new society of people. John’s vision refers to the passing away of “the former heaven and the former earth.” (Revelation 21:1; compare Isaiah 57:20; Revelation 20:11.) In the Christian Greek Scriptures, earthly governments and their peoples are shown to be subject to Satanic rule. (Matthew 4:8, 9; John 12:31; 2 Corinthians 4:3, 4; Revelation 12:9; 16:13, 14) The apostle Paul referred to “the wicked spirit forces in the heavenly places,” with their governments, authorities, and world rulers. (Ephesians 6:12) So the passing away of “the former heaven” indicates the end of political governments along with Satan and his demons. This identification of “the former heaven” harmonizes with the fact that shortly before the statement concerning the “former heaven having passed away,” John had seen a vision of the complete defeat of Satan’s forces and the casting of Satan into “the abyss.”-Revelation 19:19-20:3. As for the new earth, following the pattern of the ancient fulfillment, the new earth will be made up of people-from all nationalities, languages, and races-who gladly submit to the rulership of the new heavenly government. After the passing of the present wicked system of things, this group will form the nucleus of a new earth that will eventually be a globe-encircling society of God-fearing humans who inherit the earthly realm of God’s Kingdom.-Matthew 25:34.
