I realize how outrageous the idea that Satan was the father of Cain may be to some people, so I will explain further.
Genesis 3:14-15
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 thou eat all the days of thy life:
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.
Genesis 2:9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food;
the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and
the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
Genesis 2:16-17
16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
17 But of
the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
Now, Yahweh has no evil in Him, and would not desire to give His children the knowledge of evil, so the tree of the knowledge of good and evil must therefore be evil in and of itself. I assert that that the tree of the knowledge of good and evil is in fact a symbol for Satan, just as the tree of life is a symbol for Christ.
Trees are often used as symbols for individuals and nations throughout Scripture.
Luke 3:9 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Luke 6:43-44
43 For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
44 For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.
Genesis 3:6 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.
Eating can be a metaphor for sexual intercourse as seen in the Song of Solomon.
Song of Solomon 2:3 As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.
As Satan is a very powerful celestial being, it is reasonable to assume he could shape-change into a female when Eve brought Adam to him. If you don't believe that fallen angels can procreate with human women, read Genesis 6, then read my post here #
