In Chapter 4, we learn of the birth of Cain and Abel and who their father’s were.

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

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

The word “again” in the Hebrew language is yacaph and means to continue. So Eve continued in labor to bare Abel. Cain and Abel were twins. Cain being Satan’s offspring and Abel being Adam’s offspring. She conceived twice while in the same cycle by two different men; one being Satan and the other being Adam.

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

The process of time means the boy’s came of age. They did this together because they were twins. Cain brought his offering to God. It says of the ground. Cain gathered up some old fruit off the ground and brought it to God as an offering. There was no love involved in this offering. He did not give the best he had to God.

Verse 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:

Abel brought the very best of what he had to God. There is much love to God in this act. We should always give the best of what God gives us back to Him. All of the blessings we receive come from God.

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

Cain was angry at God when he should have been angry with himself. He chose to pick up old fruit off the ground and give it to God while keeping the best for himself.

In Verse 7 God says: 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.

God is trying to teach Cain that by doing your best, everything can be overcome. We have to put God first in all that we do. If we don’t, sin is always right there ready to consume us.

Verse 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.

Cain was still angry with God and very jealous of Abel. He premeditated to take Abel to the field and murdered him. These feelings of jealousy and hatred were inherited to him by his father, the devil. This shows the war beginning between the seed of Satan and the seed of God. See Matthew 23:33-35 and you will see Jesus talking to the Kenites, who are the sons of Cain, the offspring of Satan. Also see John 3:11-12 and 8:44.

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

Cain is attempting to lie to God. We can never lie to God as He already knows what we have done. By confessing our sin to God, He then knows we are sorry and He forgives. Even though He already knows, we still have to ask for that forgiveness.

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

In the manuscripts, the word blood is plural. All of the offspring that Abel would have had, Cain also destroyed when he murdered him. It is the same today when someone is murdered. Murder must always be settled with God and not with man.

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

Cain will never again be able to farm the land. Even to this day, a Kenite cannot farm, unless they own the land and hire someone to farm the land for them. The earth will not produce for a Kenite. In Jeremiah 35, we find that the Kenites were vagabonds. They lived in tents and moved about. This is the beginning of the Kenites being introduced into Judah. They soon began to be known as Judean when they were in fact Kenites.

Verse 13: And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear. Verse 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; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.

Cain knew the sixth day creation was out there and was speaking of them. He was scared that they would kill him because of what he had done.

Verse 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.

This is the beginning of the mark of the beast. It is the mark of a man. The number six in Biblical numerics means mankind. Cain means possessor and Abel means vapor. Abel ended up being not much more than a vapor in this life.

Verse 16: And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.

Cain went to the land of Nod where there was a population of people. Please notice that it says the land of Nod and not the city of Nod. This is important.

Verse 17: And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.

Cain took a wife from the sixth day creation. Pay attention to the genealogy of Cain as it will closely match the genealogy of Adam. Satan did this on purpose to confuse. Cain built the first city. The son of Satan was the creator of cities, a place where there is much crime and pollution. Cities are a part of Satan’s plan, not God’s.
