Genesis 4:1, “And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the Lord.”
This verse clearly identifies who the father of Cain was. It was Adam. But we wonder why in the genealogy Cain was not written as son of Adam. Read Genesis 5:3 and you will not find Cain’s name. “And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:” . Others said even Abel was not mentioned in that chapter. Yes, because Abel was dead and he need not be mentioned. Abel had no generation of his own because he was killed.
Let us read Genesis 4:2, “And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.” We observed that Cain obeyed the plan of God, “to till the ground” Genesis 2:5. That was the purpose why Adam had the flesh body. But Abel also obeyed the plan of God to “have dominion over the fish, fowl and every living thing that moved upon the earth” Genesis 1:26-28. That was the purpose why the celestial Adam was created.
CAIN WANTS TO CONTROL THE EARTH
I sincerely believe that Cain and Abel were twins. Cain manifested the attributes of the terrestrial nature of Adam while Abel manifested the celestial nature of Adam. Cain was more concerned of the ground because he came from dust.
He wanted to build an earthly kingdom and make it more beautiful than Abel’s kingdom. Cain by intellectual conception if he controls the land he can control even Abel. Cain wanted to be the master of the world.
In Genesis 4:3b, “… that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the Lord” but he was disappointed because in verse 5a… “But unto Cain and his offering he (the Lord) had not respect…”
ABEL WANTED TO LEAD THE LIVING CREATURES
Genesis 4:2b, “… And Abel was a keeper of the sheep...” demonstrating the plan of God to lead the animals, type of the Holy Ghost leading man. Abel by revelation chose to be a shepherd. He knew the original sin committed by his parent had something to do with the blood. Genesis 4:4, “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:”
SARCRIFICE IS NOT ENOUGH
Genesis 4:5b, “...And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.” This is the immediate reaction of Cain to God’s response to his offering.
Genesis 4:7, “If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? And if thou doest not well, sin lieth at he door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.” Cain didn’t knew that obedience is better that sacrifice. God require obedience from Cain, to offer an offering according to God’s provided way. Cain’s thought was that if he gives anything to God it will please Him. But God required blood in the sacrifice, Hebrews 9:22b, “…without shedding of blood is no remission”. Not a bucket of apples or bundle of rosés. Cain brought to God a bloodless offering of the fruit of his own works.
ABEL OFFERED A SHEEP
We remember the Lord killed innocent animal to make a coat of skin and clothed the nakedness of Adam and his wife as recorded in Genesis 3:21. The skin of animal covered the flesh body but the blood of that animal covered the sin of Adam.
Abel by revelation brought his offering to God as a representation of himself as a sinner. An innocent lamb, a provided sacrifice to cover his sin. Abel killed that animal in the altar and made it a burnt offering. He offered a bloody sacrifice.
CAIN OFFERED A SHEPHERD
In Genesis 4:8, “And Cain talked with Abel his brother…” Cain wanted to know how and what Abel brought to God as offering. He learned that a lamb was the required sacrifice. It should be tied, placed in the altar, killed and be burned. But Cain had a better idea, “… and it came to pass, when they were in the field…” he saw Abel as the sacrificial lamb. Instead of a sheep Cain offered a shepherd, “… that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.” But Cain was disappointed because once again, he made a wrong decision. He tried to serve God but it was not according to God’s perfect will. He killed his innocent brother to have a bloody sacrifice.
GOD CURSED CAIN
Genesis 4:9-12, “And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said I know not: Am I my brother’s keeper? And he said, what hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground. And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother’s blood from thy hand; 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.” We remembered Genesis 3:17 “…cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat all the days of thy life;”
Genesis 3:15, “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel”. Cain fulfilled this scripture by murdering his brother Abel. Cain was the literal serpent seed.
The death of Abel was the first of its kind, murdered by a blood brother, inspired by Lucifer because of insecurity. A type of Jesus Christ crucified by his own people but His death gave the human race eternal security.
Cain cannot keep his brother, but Jesus Christ keeps His bride.
