1 NOW THE serpent was more subtle
than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat
of every tree of the garden?
2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither
shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5 For God doeth know that in the day ye eat thereof,
then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
6 And when the woman saw that the tree
was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she
took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
7 And the eyes of them
both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
In chapter 3:1 this serpent is not a talking
snake. God is talking about Satan, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. We can document this in Rev.12:9.
9 "And the great dragon was cast
out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his
angels were cast out with him"
This tree they partook of was not an apple tree
nor do you see the word apple anywhere in these verses or in any other language. Nor was it a tree at all! You'll notice that
when they covered themselves they didn't cover their mouths with apple leaves, they covered their private parts with fig leaves
they had sewn together. Because they were in a fig grove not an apple orchard. This act of covering themselves with fig leaves
is also the starting point for the parable of the fig tree, that in Mark 13 Christ tells you 'that not maybe you should learn,
but to learn the parable of the fig tree. You'll notice that when God told the serpant that he was lower than a snakes belly
that he would put enmity between his seed and the womans seed. We are not talking about apple seeds folks, we're talking about
offspring. He told the woman 'because of thy conception', do you need a picture drawn out for you? The Father even gives us
the first prophecy of the coming of the Messiah. And what the children of the devil, the serpant's seed, would do to him.
Bruise his heel. These are the tares spoken of by Christ himself in his first parable. The one where Christ says 'if you don't
understand my first parable you won't understand any of them'. So you go to Matt. 13 and read for yourself about the children
of God and the children of the wicked one. People if you don't understand the serpant seed and follow the generations of Cain,
Kenites, you cannot understand or rightly divine (divide) the bible. Does it not say in Mal. ch. 4 v. 6 that there is two
fathers? This was the very first attack by Satan in this flesh age to pollute the bloodline through which Christ would be
born.
8 And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking
in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees
of the garden.
9 And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
10 And he said, I heard
thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
11 And he said, Who told thee
that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
12 And
the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
Nothing new under the sun. The man passed the
buck as usual. Ha Ha. Wanted to see if you were still awake!
13 And the Lord God said unto the woman, What
is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
What do you think the word beguiled would be
from the Stong's.
5377 nasha' (naw-shaw');a primitive root; to
lead astray, i.e. (mentally) to delude, or (morally) to seduce: KJV-- beguile, deceive, X greatly, X utterly.
She was seduce!
14 And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because
thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou
go, and dust shalt thy eat all the days of thy life:
Your lower than a snakes belly.
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.
Let's go to the Stong's and look at this word
seed.
2233 zera` (zeh'-rah);from 2232; seed; figuratively,
fruit, plant, sowing-time, posterity:
KJV-- X carnally, child, fruitful, seed (-time), sowingtime.
What kind of fruit are we talking about?(offspring
children)
16 Unto the woman he said, I will
greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be
to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy
wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground
for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring
forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return
unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
20 And Adam
called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God
make coats of skin, and clothed them.
22 And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and
evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever:
23 Therefore the
Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
24 So he drove out the man;
and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of
the tree of life.
1 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and
she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.
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 'bare again'
is the Strong's word:
#3254 yacaph (yaw-saf');
a primitive
root; to add or augment (often adverbial, to continue to do a thing):
KJV-- add, X again, X any more, X cease, X come
more, + conceive again, continue, exceed, X further, X gather together, get more, give more-over, X henceforth, increase (more
and more), join, X longer (bring, do, make, much, put), X (the, much, yet) more (and more), proceed (further), prolong, put,
be [stronger-], X yet, yield.
In other words, she continued in
labor to bare his fraternal twin into this world.
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:
You will notice that Cain and Abel
both brought their first offering to God at the same time. Probably because they are real close to the same age.
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.
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.
9 And the LORD
said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?
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.
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.
Who are these people that Cain
is afraid of?
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.
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.
And who is this woman that Cain
took to wife in the land of Nod? These questions have already been answered with the sixth day creation. Here we are beginning
the generations of Cain. You better pay real close attention that you be not confused between Cain's offspring and Adam's
offspring. Some are even named the same. But I assure you they are not of the same family.
18 And unto Enoch was born Irad:
and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech.
19 And Lamech took unto him two wives:
the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
20 And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell
in tents, and of such as have cattle.
21 And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the
harp and organ.
22 And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister
of Tubalcain was Naamah.
You will notice here you have Jabal,
Jubal, and Tubal-cain. The bal boys. I wonder has anyone heard of Baal worshipping?
23 And Lamech said unto his wives,
Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young
man to my hurt.
24 If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.
25 And Adam knew his wife
again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom
Cain slew.
26 And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the
name of the LORD.
