CAIN: THE VERY ANTICHRIST

  Cain had killed righteous Abel, and he showed himself to be the unrighteous one. Four thousand years later, John referred to Cain as “of the Wicked One” (1 John 3:12). Recently, I contended that Cain was the son of Satan. [1] The key verse is simple this time, in fact half a verse, to wit:

KEY VERSE: And the Lord set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him. (Gen 4:15b)

  God gave the son of the Wicked One a mark. That mark was the mark of the Serpent — the mark of the Beast.

  During the ministry of Jesus, he pointed out to the scribes and pharisees that they sought to kill Him. The job of scribes was to merely provide handwritten copies of the Law, but they began to make the Law by adding to it. The Pharisees were accusers (devils); today they would be called “snitches” who judge everyone by what they see. Again, in modern terminology they would be the media and the corrupt politicians, respectively. Jesus had no kind words for them as he judged them on the spot:

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. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. (John 8:44)

  Jesus did not judge by their appearances nor their professions but something unseen by the human eye. He saw their hard hearts; hearts that had not been circumcised.  He accused them of being like the murderers, Satan and Cain; hence the expression, “raising Cain.”

  The “Devil” is from the Greek word, “diabolos” which means accuser. “Lucifer” is the angel’s name, “Satan” his nature, and “Devil” his modus operandi. All those traits are invisible or hidden from the eyes of mankind.

  However, Lucifer appears, literally, in beasts: first the Serpent, next in Cain, then in Cain’s seed. Sin did enter the world by one man, as scripture says (Rom 5:12). Adam did sin, but he was pardoned by grace in Paradise. Then, he was “sent out” unto the world. (Gen 3:23). The verse that follows is written, “drove out.” Which is it? In the Hebrew, the common meaning is “divorced.” In other words, God emancipated Adam to do what he willed to do.

  That seems harsh with “drove out” but what God did was to allow Adam to be King of the World; to do either what was right in his own eyes or what was right in God’s eyes. To this day, ‘adam-kind has the same choices.

  Abel did one and Cain the other. Sacred Literature, Adam and Eve and Their Conflicts With Satan, revealed that Adam and Eve endeavored to do God’s Will after their emancipation, but were often deceived. Cain was the one who always did evil in the sight of the Lord.

  Adam was the one man in which sin entered the world, but Cain the one male that continued to willfully sin. God marked Cain in his heart, as he was not willing to obey the tenets of God. Since Cain murdered Abel, all men are marked — “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God” (Rom 3:23). Cain may have been marked on the head, or at least somewhere on the flesh. The head makes sense since it was his mind that was unwilling to obey God.

  That mark got through the flood somehow. The obvious means would be by the wives of Noah’s sons. Woman in the Hebrew is ‘ishshah . One meaning of that word, in certain contexts, is “harlot” and in the case of Eve, “adulteress,” because although “one” with Adam, Eve may have played the harlot with Lucifer. 

  In the footnoted commentary, the contention was made that Cain was the son, not of Adam and Eve, but Lucifer and Eve. Righteous Abel and righteous Seth were legitimate heirs of Adam. They were ‘adam-kind, and Cain was a mutation of seraph-kind and harlot-kind. He must be marked, and God marked him!

  The point is that Cain’s DNA got through the cleansing flood somehow. Noah’s line was all from righteous Seth. As the sons of God (dark angels) married the daughters of men (Adam’s seed), then their seed had evil in it too. “Sons of God” and “daughters of men” are ambiguous. Literally, from the Hebrew, that means seeds of Yahweh and daughters of ‘adam. Thus, contrary to some sacred literature and other commentaries, the Devil got into mankind by rebellious “angels.” That may be Seth’s line that was safe on the Holy Mountain, but they too rebelled. Cain’s line of sinful men my be correct; not “men” by ‘adam but “wife-‘adam,” namely Eve.

  The mark of Cain made it through the flood, but the mark of God removes the mark of the Beast (Cain).

  Cain had Satan in him as did the Serpent and Judas, as well as the Antichrist sometime in the future. Just what is the mark of God? The countenance of Abel. Why Abel? Because Cain’s countenance fell (Gen 4:5) and Abel’s did not.

  Cain’s countenance was a hard heart, and Abel’s a soft heart. Abel’s heart never required circumcision because he was willing to do God’s Will. He still sinned, as all men have, but his faculty of the will was not to sin. His spirit was willing, but his flesh may have been weak as well as Cain’s. God did not see Abel’s sin inherited from Adam, but He did see the countenance of his heart. It would not need circumcision, and Abel would enter God’s Garden Paradise on his Way to the Tree of Life to where Jesus would be crucified! On the other hand, perhaps someday Cain will be entirely “circumcised!”

  Abel was never marked as the “Beast” was never in him, but sin alone. His homage to God erased that sin, and he was rewarded with Paradise that Adam had lost. His good sacrifice, just as Abraham’s much later, was counted to him as righteousness, but Cain’s as unrighteousness. Cain was marked, and his “brother” Judas was as well. Both had hardened hearts.

  The hardest of hearts is yet to come. That is the Antichrist. John saw that “Beast” who shall come from the land of Nod to the east of the Eden. That Beast will come from the Euphrates River. John saw him in the future, to wit:

16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. (Rev 13:16-18)

  The mark of the Beast is “666.” What does that mean? It is the mark of Cain, most assuredly. Remembering that Satan was a murderer from the beginning, then “666” is his mark. Adam was created on the sixth day. So, the ‘mark of ‘adam-kind is six. Then God rested. 

  Cain then was marked, and his sixth genealogical line, Lamech, had two wives, and he also murdered, as his “father” Cain had. So far ‘adam (or man) is six, Lamech the adulterer and murderer was six, and then the Earth was washed clean.  What is the last number of the Beast? It would be the last days of mankind; the end of six-thousand years of life (the sixth “day”) before Jesus comes to reign on the seventh “day,” or seventh thousand years.

  What happens right before then? The Great Tribulation; the final days of the Antichrist. Why is 666 the mark of the Beast? Because Cain was the first “beast” of Satan, Lamech the second “beast” of Satan, and the Antichrist, another Beast. Judas was a “beast” as well, and it would seem that his number would be six as well. He was not sixth in apostolic election, but he was the last choice of Jesus. He would be the one most like Cain who would do the bloody deed. Judas would try to circumcise Jesus entirely. That was Satan’s and Cain’s wills be done.

  Judas raised Cain from the grave, just as Lamech had. In the end, Cain is marked. He will arise from the grave and be the Beast. He will come out of the Euphrates and obtain revenge on God.

  The Antichrist is the final raising of Cain. He is marked. No man can kill Cain as God said (Gen 4:15). Why no man (‘adam)? Because Jesus, God in the Flesh, will raise Cain and kill Him. Judas was not Cain. He did have Satan in him, but not by transformation. His number was not six because he was just another ‘adam that God would use. The Antichrist will be the real Cain that comes to a face-off with God.

  Cain literally means, “created one” (Online Etymology Dictionary). But only Adam and Eve were created ones, were they not? Satan created Cain in the womb of Eve. She is the “mother of all” but scripture does not say that about Adam. Cain was surely not the son of man, but the offspring of Satan. The Antichrist may be Cain who is resurrected, as all men will be, but then quickly put down to the bottomless pit.

  In the end, the mark of Cain will be given to all who are not sons of God. The mark of Cain will be put on either the right hand or forehead. That would be on the mind and the most offensive member, thoughts and works, respectively. 

  What are mankind’s hugest problems? Their thoughts and works. Cain was marked on his hardened heart (thoughts), but also on his hand, most certainly, because his offering was the work of his hands, and demographically, it would be his right hand.

  Cain would need both his mind and hand cut off but that did not happen. If his hand would offend him, it would have to go, according to the Law (Mat 5:30). If his mind would offend, by the same reasoning, his head should have been cut off. Why the hand and forehead in the apocalypse?” Because those two members are how Cain offended God, and how Satan gets revenge.

  What would God have done if he had not had a purpose for Cain? He would have summoned the cherubim who would have walked him back to the Garden past the Holy of Holies in the center of the Garden, and to beneath the foundation stone, to cast him into the abyss.

 What will God do when Cain is raised? Cast him into the bottomless pit. No one can kill Cain because he is a marked man! God will save the worst for the most severe punishment. Cain, with Satan in him, will suffer final death. Judas was not the final death of Satan. Satan fled Judas and goes to and fro awaiting Cain to be raised!

  The story of Cain and Abel is not just a story about our progenitors or ontology, but about the eschatology of the heaven and the earth. Abel represents those glorified and made like original Adam. Cain represents those who are damned and like the harlot Eve and their father, the Devil.  

  This is my commentary. You consider it and do as you wish. However, be warned that after this was revealed to me about the father of Cain, I discovered that it was written in the Midrash of the Jews thousands of years ago!

  The Midrash (Study) of ancient Jewish scholars was to, “"discern value in texts, words, and letters, as potential revelatory spaces” (Wikipedia). The Midrash is, therefore, Jewish commentary on Scripture. They discerned the same message about the fathering of Cain as early as the times of the kings and the Chronicles of the kings. The priests of David’s time saw the same revelation of Cain and as I saw independently just this week!
