Well perhaps you are just emphasizing the fact that it is BOTH the Word of God- The Promise of the Seed that was yet to Cone(Jesus) and the Seed(of God) Jesus Immaculate Conception,God is Faithful!

Two different things.

The conception

Luke 1:35 And the angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God. 

Taking on the seed of Abraham at His baptism

Matthew 3:16 When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him. 17 And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

This is the promised seed of Abraham, pertaining to His covenant promise.

Galatians 3:15 Brethren, I speak in the manner of men: Though it is only a man’s covenant, yet if it is confirmed, no one annuls or adds to it.

Hebrews 2:16 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. =Christ, by covenant promise and oath.

Galatians 3:16 Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He does not say, “And to seeds,” as of many, but as of one, “And to your Seed,” who is Christ.

He is also the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world, and the Lamb slain before the foundation of the world. Which goes all the way back to Adam.                 But that's yet another topic.

Thank God for that! I have posted studies that I spent 2 hours in just prayer, and asking, doing deep dives on word studies, and all told often up to four hours before I complete writing the study. Five minutes after posting someone is telling me what I need to know, while clearly only responding to the title. I am not seminary  educated, yet well educated. I do not read commentaries or books by "notable authors'. What I have been doing for the past thirty years is to be committed, to seeking and asking, and most importantly learning to hear the Voice in my heart. This is the only reality in my life. Everything else is post-mortem. If something I teach seems different, please exercise patience, and be as prayerful as I am in the preparation. I feel this is your heart. Do you feel me?

Quote

¹² And after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.

¹³ And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?      1 Kings 12-13
