Genesis 4:1 - 4:17
This study concerning the 'act' in the Garden of Eden between Satan and Eve is very
important in that it helps to unlock a very large part of God's Word. Without
understanding this event and its repercussions, the Christian will be apt to allow evil
influences to turn their mind away from God's Truth picking up on many traditions that are
foreign to The Word of God. Many tend to think that this teaching of the 'evil seed' is
foreign to God's Word, mainly because they have never heard it taught in their Church
system. However, it's strange that these same people will listen to anyone with seminar
credentials teaching the false "secret rapture" doctrine which began in Scotland around 1830 from an
ill hallucinogenic woman; and that Christ never got angry; that all twelve tribes of
Israel now live in the nation State of Israel and are all Jews; that teaching The Word
chapter by chapter and verse by verse is for children; that no one truly understands The
Book of Revelation; that we don't live in The Old Testament anymore and thus It is all
historical for Christians today; that all of God's Law is now done away with, and all
you've got to do is 'believe' and you'll be saved and then don't need to study The Word;
and teaching from Church Quarterlies sent them from some organizational 'system' in some
far away city, penned by only God knows who. I have even heard a retired preacher teach
about the coming of Christ, but admitted ignorance of what 'the evil day' is,
showing a lack of knowledge as to the events which Christ taught dealing with His return
(2 Cor.11).
Those 'sealed' with The Word of God would love to help these
people, accordingly as Christ gives ability through His Holy Spirit, but it is evident
that many of my sisters and brethren in those Churches would rather listen to man's
popular doctrines of the day, chasing fads and 'smooth' feel-good emotions, instead of
opening up their mind and allowing Jesus to come in. I know they love Jesus, and He loves
them, but they want to do things their own way instead of His Way. It's nothing new, for
the same problems existed during the days of the Old Testament prophets also. The True
Church is God's many membered Body of Christ, not some building. It's up to the members to
make changes within their Church. You might start by 'demanding' that The Word be taught
chapter by chapter and verse by verse in your congregation. That's the mark of a real
Pastor who can teach It all, even the controversial parts. Get rid of all those 'old
bottles' (man's traditions) that will break when the 'new Wine' is put in them
(Matthew.9). But, for all of this, many of these will still condemn a teacher documenting
from God's Word every step of the way, Truth that sets us free and gives true peace in a
world gone astray.
In the last Letter we covered the teaching by Jesus Christ
in Matthew 13 of the existence of a 'seed line' of 'children' that were spawned by the
'devil'. I have seen some who deny the Truth of Christ Himself explaining the full meaning
of that 'parable of the tares' to His disciples in that same Chapter 13, trying
to link the idea of 'children' in that parable to 'sowing crop seed', as in the 'parable
of the sower'. Those two parables are distinctly different from each other, and it's
not difficult to see, if you read it for yourself. Yet these 'doctrinists' will write a
full volume book attempting to match the 'parable of the tares' with sowing The
Word, totally masking the idea of an 'evil seed line' generation which Jesus did teach, and
in more places than Matthew 13. Instead of accepting the simple teaching by Christ
Himself, they try to change it to fit their own deceptions, and of course, they've got to
write a lot in order to get off track far enough to bring in their own doctrines. Christ
gave warning to not let any man deceive you in the latter days (Matt.24; Mark 13; Luke
21).
The greatest method that false apostles use to deceive is
to get further and further away from the original Manuscripts of our Father's Word,
supplanting their own doctrines and ideas, changing a word here and there until you've got
confusion (some newer Bible versions even edit out many Scriptures in the original
Manuscripts, totally omitting them). So common sense tells us that going back to the best
and oldest sets of Manuscripts will give more understanding as to God's Word than many
long philosophical discourses by so-called experts.
If these studies here at Word Alpha Omega seem too technical
to understand because I constantly refer back to the Hebrew, Greek, and Chaldee, and the Massorah notes, then maybe you have never truly heard The
Word of God before. If you understand what I'm talking about then you have found one place
that you will hear The Word. Am I being arrogant by saying this? No, because I've been
there already down that road with deeper questions in The Word that many Church systems
could not answer. I knew there was more to God's Word than what is normally taught.
By the way, 'the evil day' referred to above was
from Eph.6:13, and is about putting on the 'whole Armour of God' in order to stand against
the 'fiery darts of Satan'. For us today, that time of 'the evil day' is fast approaching,
for it means the 'hour of temptation', the tribulation of the wicked one, the five month
period given in Rev.9, shortened for the elect's sake from 7 years given by Daniel, when
Satan and his army are given to sting all those not sealed with The Word of God in their
minds (see Rev.9).
We now continue the study in Genesis with the 4th Chapter,
and we ask a Word of Wisdom from Yeshua Messiah, The Christ, Amen.
Gen
4:1 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, "I
have gotten a man from the LORD."
Here we have Eve conceiving from the Adam, but..., why this 'I
have gotten a man from the LORD'? Why would Eve say that about Cain? Hold that
thought until the next verse.
Gen
4:2 And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was
a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
This phrase 'And she again' is from the Hebrew word
'yacaph', and it means 'to add or augment (often adverbial, to
continue to do a thing)' (Strong's no. 3254). Continued to do what? It means
Eve continued in labor, to bear Abel, after the brother of Cain who came out of the womb
first. According to the Hebrew, Cain and Abel were twins. However, Cain and Abel are not
'identical twins'. Ok, you're going to maybe get an education here on the idea of twins;
that is to say, the idea of twins from two distinctly different fathers. Not all twins
born of woman are 'identical twins', meaning they look very much alike. There is another
type of twins called 'Fraternal' twins. Fraternal twins are from two separate eggs and
each have their own bag of water in the womb. Do some medical research, or ask your doctor
if you don't believe this.
What's being said here? The seed of Cain was from Satan,
much in the same way that 'the sons of God' (fallen angels of Gen.6) took wives
from the daughters of Adam, and begot the 'gibbor', or giant race. This is what
Eve meant when she said 'I have gotten a man from the LORD'. Don't misunderstand
me. The Hebrew 'from the LORD' is 'ish 'eth Jehovah'. The King James
Revised Version has 'with the help of the LORD' in italics, which is probably a
better translation from the Hebrew. Who places all souls in the flesh? God of course.
Satan can't do it because he's just an angel that God created (Ezek.28). So God placed the
soul of Cain in this conception between 'the serpent' and Eve. That's when her first
conception took place, in the Garden of Eden remember? (see 1 Timothy 2:14). This second
conception by Adam truly was the seed of 'the Adam', that seed being righteous Abel
(Heb.11:4). In 1 John 3:12, it is stated 'Cain, who was of that
wicked one...'; the word 'of' in the Greek is 'ek',
a 'preposition denoting origin' (Strong's no. 1537).
In I Chronicles 2:55, we are given some of the Kenites (sons
of Cain) who moved to Jerusalem and were figured as 'scribes', meaning they had crept into
the positions of Moses Law, and began calling themselves 'Jews', because they now lived in
Judea. These are who Jesus was talking to in John 8 when He said to a later generation of
those "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do.
He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no
truth in him." (John 8:44). Now why would Jesus Himself link the first murderer
Cain with the devil? If you still need more proof for Cain not being the son of Adam,
notice you won't find Cain and his offspring in Adam's genealogy of Gen.5, nor of Jesus'
lineage in Luke 3 going all the way back to 'the man Adam' (eth'Ha'adham).
I can hear many saying right now, "Well, I never heard
of such an awful thing!" I guess those who think that, well, they probably
intentionally leave out a lot of God's Word also, eh? No wonder they sit in Church every
Sunday and are just as Biblically ignorant as when just after the time they were baptized,
still sucking on the milk bottle with very little maturity as a Christian. Let's do a
little test here. Do you believe that Jesus Christ was born of a virgin called Mary who
conceived by The Holy Spirit? Yes or no, which? Do you believe that 'fallen angels' took
wives of the daughters of men and they begat giants, as written in Gen.6? Yes or no,
which? Thirdly, do you believe God's Word here in the Hebrew with this conception of Cain
by Satan and Eve? Yes or no, which? No maybes allowed. Either you believe God's Word, or
you don't. Yes, there is a bloodline offspring of Satan's own children in the flesh who
dwell upon this earth. That sort of explains all the evil going on around us doesn't it?
If the sweet philosophers are right that evil is just a state of mind, and serial killers
can even change their lifestyle, then why isn't it happening, but instead, why is the evil
really piling up today? We even have a hard time carrying out God's Law for convicted
murderers by allowing them to live, and per chance they'll turn their life around, and
come to Christ. God said execute them, with no feelings of guilt or remorse, because He is
the One doing the judging, not us. The longer these murderers are allowed to walk the
streets and are not punished, others will follow by example. Execution is God's example to
keep this evil away from His People (see Deut.21 & Numbers 35).
Gen
4:3 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:
Here begins the sacrificial offerings of the 'firstfruits' (firstlings)
by Abel, which is a very important act of 'faith' also by Abel. The offering here by Cain
says nothing of 'firstfruits', and his offering was of the ground, not of the flock. So
possibly Cain just brought some produce, not even his 'firstfruits' or best, and thought
it good enough for God. You'll notice from hence forward, Abel's type of sacrifice of the
firstfruits of the sheep was the standard which God later told Moses to write down, and
the method for atonement to be used by the priests for sins. Since Christ also was
sacrificed for us on the cross, shedding His blood, Jesus became the replacement for this
animal sacrifice, for one and all time (Heb.9; 10:10). None other Blood can give us
Salvation.
(In my 'opinion', even though God had not given the 'Seed'
of the woman The Law through Moses yet here with Cain and Abel, I believe that Adam did
know, similar to Enoch who 'was not', also knew and prophesied about the coming
destruction by the flood of Noah's time. In other words, how else would Abel know the
process of sacrifice which would please God. And if Abel knew, then why not also Cain?)
Gen
4:5 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."
If you remember back in Gen.3:15 when God said He would put
'enmity' between the 'thy seed' and the 'Seed of the woman',
here we have the very first start of it, meaning also the spiritual war Paul talked about
in Ephesians 6; one 'seed' controlled by Satan, and the other 'Seed' by Christ. Cain is
'wroth' because his sacrifice was not received by God. The word 'wroth' in the
Hebrew is 'charah' meaning 'to glow or grow warm, figuratively (usually) to
blaze up, of anger, zeal, jealousy' (Strong's no. 2734). You tell me friends, what
type of person has murder in their heart because of their own jealousy and failure, and
the envy of the blessings to God's children?
Gen
4:8 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.
The Septuagint, the Samaritan Pentateuch, the Vulgate, the
Syriac Version, the Targum, all versions from the Hebrew Old Testament have the wording
for 'talked' in the sense of 'Let us go into the field'.1 This shows that Cain
was premeditating to murder Abel, so there should be no doubt as to his intent. Let's get
some more evidence that Cain was the first offspring of 'the serpent'. Turn to Matthew
23:29:
Matt
23:29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of
the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
30 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have
been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
This is our Lord Jesus Christ speaking here, and He's
addressing this to the Kenites, which means 'son of Cain'. Again, as written in I
Chronicles 2:55, these 'sons of Cain', the Kenites crept into 'Moses seat', and Jesus
referred to many of them as 'scribes and Pharisees'. This does not of course,
label all of them, for Paul also was a Pharisee, and Joseph of Arimathaea himself a member
of the Sanhedrin. The difference is that Paul and Joseph's lineage is from the 'Seed' of
the woman, the Kenites are not.
Matt
23:30 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have
been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the
children of them which killed the prophets.
Here these Kenites which Jesus is pointing out wish to kill
the very Christ, which is proof of who their father is (Satan).
Matt
23:32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can
ye escape the damnation of hell?
Remember, this is Jesus Christ speaking to them. These are
our LORD's words. The word 'generation' is 'genema' in the Greek and
means 'offspring, by analogy, produce (literally or figuratively)'
(Strong's no. 1081). This is not a parable, nor figurative. It is literal 'offspring' of 'vipers'
which is 'echidna' in the Greek, meaning 'of uncertain origin; an adder or
other poisonous snake' (Strong's no. 2191). Of course, we know who that 'snake' is by
now.
Matt
23:34 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes:
and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your
synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:
35 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the
earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the
blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
Jesus is 'laying the hammer down', so to speak. Notice our
LORD is linking these particular 'hypocrites', 'scribes, and Pharisees' with the murder of
Abel also? Murder is one of the 'modus operandi' of the Kenites, the 'sons of Cain'. They
have no problem with assassination and murder to remove their obstacles, etc. To hide one
murder, they'll murder again and again. They are here upon this earth to work the negative
side of The Plan, so get used to it and gird yourself up for battle putting on the full
armour of God, and kick dragon. That's what God's Children do that have His blessings.
Naturally these Kenites want you to believe in a pacifist dogma, where everything is just
so sweet and nice..., while they do their dirty work behind your back and you're not even
aware of it! Wake up. Where do you think all those socialist and communistic doctrines
come from? This spiritual war has been going on for a long time, and it's not over yet. Of
course, God's People have the 'Victory' through Jesus Christ. God is our 'Rock', our
'Hope', our 'Salvation', trust in Him, as our forefathers of America did, and I guarantee
most of them understood this 'spiritual war' also, and who it was with.
Gen
4:9 And the LORD said unto Cain, "Where is Abel thy
brother?" And he said, "I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?"
Cain's a little sassy here lying to our Father isn't he?
Don't you be beloved, for The Almighty will definitely bring discipline your way. I don't
believe any of His true children would talk back and lie to God anyway.
Gen
4:10 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."
'Thy brother's blood' is all the potential
offspring Abel would have, if Cain had not murdered him. This is why Abel is left out of
Adam's genealogy in Gen.5. The word 'earth' in 'now art thou cursed from the
earth' is the Hebrew word 'adamah', and is better translated 'ground or
soil' (Strong's no. 127), since the ground opened up to receive Abel's blood.
Also today, the Kenites can not properly farm because of
this curse God put upon Cain. They then had to turn to other craftiness, such as building
cities. The Kenites are expert 'middlemen'. They are experts at making a living off the
hard work of others, hence they are very disciplined and meticulous in their art (see
Jer.35).
Gen
4:13 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; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me
shall slay me."
Use a little common sense here. Where are all these people
Cain is talking about, who will try to slay him when they find him? They must already be
out there somewhere, otherwise Cain wouldn't have been so scared of being cast outside
away from God's presence. Remember 'adam' without the article from Gen.1:26, the
sixth day creation races of 'general mankind'? They were already out there.
There is an excellent work called Sargon The
Magnificent posing a solution to the Assyrian (ancient Babylonia) cuneiform writings
that go back to around 3800 B.C., which especially draws a link to 'Enoch', the first city
built by Cain we will soon discover about in the next few verses of Gen.4. The Sumerians
(who are called the 'blackheads' in the cuneiform texts) of that ancient land left
writings which name a Sargon I as being Semitic, and gave them knowledge of agriculture
and of building cities, crafts, etc. The Sumerian history alludes at this certain Sargon's
arrival, since he was not of their people. They state that this Sargon was also 'the
son of bel' (meaning 'son of the dragon'). Archaeologists have even traced this land
as the birthplace of Baal worship, and the 'root' of all later Egyptian, Greek, and Roman
mythologies and paganism.2
Gen
4:15 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.
Here's the beginning of the 'mark of the beast'
written in Rev.13; 16; 19. The meaning from the Greek in Rev.13 of that number 666 of the
beast, means to 'enumerate or count, a stone worn smooth by counting over a long period'.
This simply means to understand this 'mark' here, which God put upon Cain, and all the
events that led up to this point in Gen.4; and to also trace that lineage of the 'sons of
Cain', even down to today's time. This is very important for God's People to know,
especially in the near future, for by understanding this 'enumeration', or counting, you
will recognize God's Plan, be able to understand all parables in The Word to their deepest
level, and will be prepared and 'sealed' with The Word in your forehead, which means in
your mind. This means you cannot be deceived by Satan when he comes playing the false
Messiah. Nor will he be a temptation to you, but an 'abomination', the 'abomination of
desolation', sitting in God's Temple, pretending to be Jesus Christ on earth
(Ezek.28; 2 Thess.2; Matt.24; Mark 13; Luke 21: 2 Cor.11; Rev.12 & 13; Daniel 9).
Gen
4:16 And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of
Nod, on the east of Eden.
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.
This word 'Nod' is 'Nowd' in the Hebrew meaning
'vagrancy, exile'. This same verse links the word 'land' (erets)
with Nod, so don't think this just means Cain became a 'nomad' wanderer; because he built
a city 'Enoch' named after his son. This first city in God's Word, the Sumerian
cuneiform names 'Unuk' and 'Erech'.3
Let's see, there's nothing written about other children of Adam
and Eve yet, so this wife of Cain couldn't have been his kin, so, maybe she was from the
'land of Nod', where God states he went? I think so, in an obvious way.
Here's
a little message about 'bloodlines'. God places all souls to His purpose, in order to
fulfill His Plan. All souls, except Satan and the fallen angels can attain Salvation
through the Blood of Jesus Christ. This means the 'sons of Cain' have a chance at
Salvation also, if they will turn away from their 'father' and worship Christ. God is most
fair, and does not wish to destroy any of His children which He created, and will not
until they have heard His Truth, but after this only when they decide to turn away from
Him, and worship Satan. The teaching of a first earth age, when we all were with God, is
written in His Word in The Manuscripts. I feel that I have done my part in helping to
reveal to you this first earth age of Satan's rebellion in my first Letter on Genesis.
There are many more references to the first earth age of the spiritual nature throughout
The Word, and you can be assured I will mention it as they occur in Scripture. This first
earth age when Satan rebelled, drawing a third of the sons of God with him, leaves
two-thirds of God's children that did not follow Satan during that time. Some of those
children followed God with no doubts during that time, and are the 'chosen', the 'very
elect' (Matt.24:24), such as the Patriarchs, prophets, and Apostles of Christ. This
is how Jesus can claim them as His during this present earth age of flesh. Those who
followed more on the side of Satan during that first age, more than likely deserve to be
born a Kenite.
The soul is the most important matter, not the flesh.
Bloodline heritage is important for God's People (election of the promise seed) so that
they will know what God expects of them to accomplish for Him in the flesh. Those with
'free will' which did not make up their mind to worship God in that first earth age must
do it now, in the flesh, and learn what God demands of us as His servants. These become
'elect' (election of grace) along with the 'chosen' or 'very elect'. If you still don't
understand this idea of the 'very elect', study more of Paul's Epistles.
May peace be with you in
Christ Jesus,
Dave Ramey.
