I will let our Father answer the question for He said...
Luke 21:15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
Many deny this when taught but His Word tells the tale. What He has given us is written, is truth, and stands on it's own.
First, you will not find Cain listed in the "
generations of Adam," [Gen.5] for he was not a son of Adam or he would be there. As for the serpent and his seed....
Genesis 3:14-15 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: 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.
What did the serpent do to cause such anger? Did he entice Eve to take a bite of an apple? God tells us through Paul...
2 Corinthians 11:2-4 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
Beguiled is to "
wholly seduce." This is literally and/or figuratively. Eve was the wife of Adam and yet she was
beguiled by the serpent. As she was to remain chaste to her husband, we are to be presented as chaste to Christ...we are not to be wholly seduced spiritually (
our minds corrupted) as she was literally...
wholly seduced.
We know that the
"serpent" isn't a talking snake but rather is....
Revelation 12:9 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.
What did his angels do?
Genesis 6:1-4 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
The sons of God, the fallen angels "took wives" and that produced "giants in the earth." They are written of in....
Jude 1:6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, He hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
The Sons of God are the angels that kept not their first estate. They are "
under darkness" and Darkness is...the serpent/Satan. They are chained to him figuratively until the "
great day." Satan is the king of the fallen angels. As the sons of God produced "
giants" by mixing with women....so did their leader.
Jesus explained this to us if we are blessed to see....
Matthew 13:16-17 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.
13:24-29 Another parable put He forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? He said unto them,An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
The tares are to be left alone...they have a job to do. The tares are sons of Cain and as he was not to be killed..neither are they, until the proper time.
Genesis 4:15 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.
13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
13:36-40 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and His disciples came unto Him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field. He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
Not all will hear this...not all can hear His words for He said...
John 8:43-45 Why do ye not understand My speech? even because ye cannot hear My word. 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. And because I tell you the truth, ye believe Me not.
Some are literally, genetically of their father the devil, while others are figuratively his children...children of darkness. The first murderer and liar (from the beginning) was both...Cain and Satan. Satan murdered Adam and Eve for they were no longer spiritually living when they listened to his deception. Cain literally murdered his half brother Able. Satan lied to Eve when he said "
ye shall not surely die" and she did surely die within one of the Lord's days. Cain lied to God when asked "
where is Abel thy brother," for he answered, "
I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?"
Murderers and liars from the beginning...like father like son.
