The Infamous Story of Cain and Abel, A Forerunner

The Infamous story of Cain and Abel: the forerunner for Esau and Jacob informs the reader of what comes of envy and jealousy. Man’s life has been turned upside down due to the sin of Adam. The kingdom of man has been turned into the hands of the serpent, and this story exemplifies the nature of the kingdom under the administration of the serpent. Kill, steal, lie, and live without knowledge, without wisdom, and no understanding.

1 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the Lord.

2 And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.

3 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the Lord.

4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering:

5 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.

6 And the Lord said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?

7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.

8 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.

9 And the Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother’s keeper?

10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground.

11 And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother’s blood from thy hand;

12 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.

13 And Cain said unto the Lord, My punishment is greater than I can bear.

14 Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.

15 And the Lord said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the Lord set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.

Brief Comments

Adam and Eve move on with life outside of the garden; they are taught more ins and outs of the mundane life they will live apart from GOD. In the process of time, the children. Two, in particular, stood out, Cain and Abel.

Cain killed Abel even with the LORD assisting him on how to control himself. Abel’s blood still cries from the ground seeking retribution. Cain became a vagabond in the earth. A sad tale of envy, jealousy, and anger.

Most of which is the basis and thesis of life on the earth living by the rules and culture of the serpent. Come out of her MY people!
