CAIN: THE BASTARD SON

   In an earlier commentary, a controversial hypothesis was presented; that Cain was begotten by Lucifer (Herrin Blog; “Cain With Satan In Him;” Feb 11, 2102). That may sound incredible, but the apostle John estimated that himself, to wit: 

For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.  Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous. (1 John 3:11-12)

  John said it outright; “Cain was of that Wicked One.” The assumption therein is that Lucifer, the seraph, had more than verbal intercourse with Eve. That is not so unlikely when the idea that Lucifer was not is a Serpent but a kind of angel. That the “sons of God” had intercourse with the “daughters of men” (Gen 6:2), makes that assumption a great possibility.

  Considering the two commands of God, (1) To not eat of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge, and (2) to multiply, then just as 1 + 1 + 2, command one plus command two perhaps equals carnal knowledge.

  That is a tough hypothesis since that would mean that Cain had offspring who were “sons of the Devil.” If that seems horrible, Jesus warned, “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do” (John 8:44).

  That is more than metaphorical because sins are passed down through the generations: “I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me” (Exod 20:5). Iniquity, or a lifestyle of sin, is genetic, not only to the third and fourth generation, but obviously to this day.

  Noah was of the line of righteous Seth. So were his sons, but perhaps they married hybrid daughters of dark angels and Cain’s line. The seed of Lucifer passed through the waters unscathed. God again divided the waters from the waters as he did in the beginning (Gen 1:6), or more exactly, “the semen from the semen.”

  It does seem that some are more genetically inclined than others to sin, and indeed sin is in the genogram of all humankind. Jesus avoided that by having no physical contact with the genes of sinful men, and Mary’s blood was not intermingled with her child because the placenta is impermeable. Jesus had his own blood, and it was only by the Blood of Jesus that saves. Mary’s blood is not saving! Now consider the key verse:

KEY VERSE: And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. (Gen 4:2)

  Verse one indicated that “Adam knew Eve.” That only means that the two had sexual intercourse. It does not mean that Eve conceived by his seed. Perhaps, since Cain is the son of the Wicked One, Lucifer previous to that time had wicked intercourse with Eve.

  “And she again” in the key verse, means that Eve caused Abel, just as she had Cain some time before. The passage does not say, “And she and Adam again.” Perhaps it was by herself that Cain was conceived, of course with some “help” from Lucifer. “Bare” therein means “brought forth.” Adam did not bring forth; only Eve did.

  Scripture is somewhat ambiguous about the lineage of Cain but makes a statement that should be questioned. It is clear that Eve is the mother of all, but for some reason that was made explicitly clear: “Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living” (Gen 3:20). Why would it be necessary to say the obvious? Eve is certainly the mother of all, but nowhere does it say that Adam is “the father of all.”

  Scripture does say that Judas Iscariot had “Satan in him” (John 13:27). Nowhere does scripture say that Cain had Satan in him, but he did have the DNA of Satan in his blood because he was the child of the Wicked One. By the time of the flood, indeed, Cain’s sin had passed down to the third and fourth generations; then God reduced the genetic inheritance of sin by eliminating most of the gene pool, ironically in a “Great Pool.”

  “Bare” can mean specifically to lay the egg (Strong’s Dictionary). “Bare” is used for both Cains’s and Abel’s conceptions. Nowhere does it say who provided the seed! Then add to the evidence that “brother” is ‘ach in the Hebrew, and that can mean brother by the same parents, or “brothers by the same mother but different fathers” (ibid). The evidence mounts that Cain was the son of Lucifer and Eve, and those genes were passed down to this day, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Rom 3:23).

  Adam was “God’s Glory.” He was made in the Presence of God, created by the Hand of God, imbued with the Spirit of God, and was made perfect. Indeed, all have sinned and come short of original Adam!

  Cain made a feeble attempt to change that! Why are seemingly insignificant things written in scripture? Because they are not insignificant.

  Adam’s vocation was to “dress and keep the Garden” (Gen 2:50). He was to be a husbandman like his Father (John 15:1). Cain was a tiller of the ground. He tried to be like Adam. “Ground” (‘adamah in the Hebrew) would mean “red clay” (ibid).  He endeavored to mold himself in the form of Adam. He aspired to be fully ‘adam-kind.

  But “Abel was a keeper of sheep.”  Literally he was a “friend” to that kind over which he had dominion. He was like a cherub, who kept the Way to the Tree of Life (Gen 3:24). He was less like sinful Adam who was relegated to tend the earth (as such, ‘adamah) but had the countenance of a guardian angel!

  God always accepted both animal and grain sacrifices throughout scripture. “The purpose of the Grain Offering was a voluntary expression of devotion to God, recognizing His goodness and providence” (Garrett, Jeremiah K,; “The 5 Offerings in the Old Testament;” Seedbed; July 29. 2014).

  Abel’s offering was somewhat the same, “The purpose of the Burnt Offering was for general atonement of sin and expression of devotion to God” (ibid). Both offerings were acceptable to the Lord, except for one thing: Adam’s was hypocritical; he did not love the Lord and was not devoted to God.

  He was devoted to himself and with only obedience in mind did he even make the offering. He wanted to be “reborn” like  Adam who wore the coat of a lamb (The Holy Spiit), but instead was more like ‘adamah, or the dust itself. Implied is that the dust provided for Cain, but God supplied for Abel. Cain seemed to worship “Mother Earth” for what “she” provided and Abel, Father God.

  Abel had little problem being like forgiven Adam. Adam and Eve wore coats of skin from a lamb. Abel, however, wore the “coat” of God’s Spirit.

   Cain may have worn the apron of fig leaves that his real father’s tree provided him! Over the years, the aprons gave away and the fig leaves decayed. Before the flood, Cain’s seed frolicked in the nude much like Woodstock. Why was the ‘adamah (ground) washed? Because Cain was the tiller of the ground for his father the Devil. Then to make matters worse, righteous Seth, God’s heir, had his progeny abandon him and join Cain. Together they neglected even the ground, and paid homage to the sun with their naked bodies.

  Seth’s seed left the Holy Mountain and joined Cain’s line on the dusty plain, and on that ground, they had intercourse with the Devil’s seed — with the Gregori (giant demonic angels.)

  God just would not accept the return of Satan’s seed to the ground. To the dust (‘adamah), Adam’s seed returned. Cain’s seed would no longer even till the ground. Pleasure was what they sought.

  This ends the commentary, but hopefully the reader may now understand that the Word of God is more than knowledge but has imperative significance.

  Why would anyone care about the occupations of two ancient men unless there is a message therein? Paul spoke often of “the mystery of God.” Certainly, the father of Cain seems to be secretive, as in times past, was always so.

  Now, perhaps in these hedonistic days, the illegitimacy of Cain is not so fantastical. Indeed, sex with an incubus is often confessed by wicked women. Did the “incubus” Lucifer impregnate Eve by having his spirit hover over her? That is how spirits transport their semen from one realm to another. That is how God transported His Seed into the womb of Mary.
