Proverbs 3:5 (KJV)
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine
own understanding.
The Time will Come:
2 Tim. 4:3 (KJV)
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine;
but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
The Time:
Genesis 4:3 (KJV)
And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of
the fruit of the ground an offering unto the Lord.
Cain, the first Murderer, and Liar, offered the Fruit of the
Ground.
Cain thought that his offering would be accepted by the Lord.
Do we ever wonder just what brought about this willingness
of Cain to offer the type of offering, and why was not the Lord pleased with his offering?.
We will try to explore the word of god to find what would be
the reason of the offering that Cain offered and that displeased the lord.
We go to the Source of what seems to be the realization of
what was taking place at that Time.
First of All, we know that his Mother had listened to the Wrong
Voice in the Garden of Eden, and was Beguiled;
.beguile >verb 1 charm, enchant, or trick. 2 archaic or
literary help (time) pass pleasantly.
-DERIVATIVES beguiling >adjective.
In other words Eve was Charmed by this Voice of the Beast that
was so pernicious.
The Bible says that she was Beguiled, or the word Beguile,
it means to be 2 Peter 2:2 (KJV)
And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom
the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
and is spoken about in the New Testament as follows;
Notice it says that many, yes Many, shall follow their Pernicious
ways.
Many will be Charmed, or following enchantment, which
means they will be fascinated by the Charm, and like Eve was Beguiled, they will be Beguiled and drawn away...James
1:14 (KJV)
But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own
lust, and enticed.
His or her own Lust, this means that they Lust, crave or Hunger
for some kind of excitement in the lives of those that find themselves in this state of being.
We would wonder what was going on in Adam and Eve’s situation,
after all the seemed to have at their disposal every kind of fruit, or means of bring happiness to their environment.
It is like the Children of Israel, after all God gave them
untold blessing and promises, yet they were no Content with Such.
The word of God say this about Contentment; 1 Tim. 6:6 (KJV)
But godliness with contentment is great gain.
This is what God said to Cain...Genesis
4:7 (KJV)
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.
In other words, Cain if you will be Content and not take
that which God has given to you, believing that Richness is Gain...1 Tim. 6:5 (KJV)
Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute
of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
We cam see that the Seed of a Corrupt Mind was in Cain, and
he was Destitute of the Truth, and he supposed, or become Complacent, or Self Satisfied, or at Peace in himself and of his
Treasures upon this Earth.
He believed that, according to his Wealth or his Gain
of the Earth’s product, that he was Righteous and placed his Trust in Riches..Psalm 73:1-12 (KJV)
A Psalm of Asaph.
Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as
are of a clean heart. 2But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps
had well nigh slipped. 3For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. 4For there
are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm. 5They are not in trouble as other men;
neither are they plagued like other men. 6Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment. 7Their eyes
stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish. 8They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily. 9They set
their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth. 10Therefore his people return hither: and waters of
a full cup are wrung out to them. 11And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High? 12Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the
world; they increase in riches.
The above is an example of those like Cain, who have gotten
great Sums of Wealth, and have more than they would ever need, yet the Trust in those Riches as Godliness.
King Solomon Received Great Richness along With Great abundance
of Wisdom, yet he found that his Richness took him into and brought many sorrows to himself and to those around him.
2 Chron. 9:22 (KJV)
And king Solomon passed all the kings of the earth in riches
and wisdom.
On the other hand there was the King of Kings that steeped
down from all the Wealth, Streets of Gold, and he became the total opposite of that which he Gave to King Solomon...Matthew 12:42 (KJV)
The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the
uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
The Queen of the South, which is 1 Kings
10:1 (KJV)
And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning
the name of the Lord, she came to prove him with hard questions.
1 Kings 10:13 (KJV)
And king Solomon gave unto the queen of Sheba all her desire,
whatsoever she asked, beside that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned and went to her own country,
she and her servants.
Here he goes giving away great wealth to this Queen, making
himself a Reputation among all Arabia.
Ezekiel 27:21 (KJV)
Arabia, and all the princes of Kedar, they occupied with thee
in lambs, and rams, and goats: in these were they thy merchants.
Here is the Wealth of the Descendent’s, of that of those
that God had Promised Agar that he would make of Ismail the Son of Hagar.
These are considered to be the Outcast.
Cain was an Outcast.
Cain, after he had trusted in his richness and his wealth,
found himself to, rather than repent and do what is right, went into the land of Nod...Genesis 4:16 (KJV)
And Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt
in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
Cain Choose to Run away from the Truth, and to trust in his
Richness and in himself.
This is what The Beast told Eve, that she would be as
Gods...Genesis 3:5 (KJV)
For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your
eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
This Tree is a Somewhat Mystery to many, and by many it is
described to be an Apple Tree.
This Tree is more than just an Apple Tree, this Tree is having
the Ability to, when you partake of, have your eyes open to what is right or wrong.
The Apostle Paul wrote many thing about the Law, and how it
can have drastic effect on an Individual, yet it can open the eyes of those that are unlearned.
Listen to what Paul said...Romans 7:9
(KJV)
For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment
came, sin revived, and I died.
When Paul was born into the world, coming from the Womb, he
knew no wrong, he only went on what his parents, like all of us, we only hear what our parents tell us.
This is what Cain had listened to, he had listened to
Adam and Eve as they told him of all of the Experience’s Prior, on how that they had everything at their fingertips,
so as to say, and how God walked in the Cool of the Day among all of the Tree’s...Genesis 3:8 (KJV)
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.
Yes they had the Lord’s Voice, they had Jesus Christ
there among all of the Tree’s in the Garden, but also there were Someone there that was waiting for the chance to Beguile
her, into thinking that what God has is not sufficient, had become Complacent and Ignored the Fact that they could Slip into
a State of Despair.
You see, they had one other Tree there that they could have
walked up to and Taken Food for Thought.
This Tree was there in the Middle of the Garden...Genesis 2:9 (KJV)
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.
We have to go back beyond this era to find, or to bring up
some history of what was, or did take place prior to this act of Disobedience on the Part of Adam and Eve.
We know that Adam was Given Dominion over the Earth and
All living Creator’s...Genesis 1:26 (KJV)
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:
and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth,
and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
We must realize that when God Created Adam and Eve, he was
Symbolizing the Creation of the Nation of the spiritual Israel, or the Kingdom of God.
Adam was a Figure of that Which was to come, or what God wanted
Adam and Eve to enter into, which is Called Paradise.
Jesus Christ is Called the Second Adam...1
Cor. 15:45 (KJV)
And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living
soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
Here is the Point of this Document.
The first Man Adam, was made a living Soul, but the Last
Adam was made a Quickening Spirit, which means that Jesus Christ, the Last Adam, The Tree in the Mist of the Garden of Eden,
this was Jesus Christ, who would Quicken the First Adam from a Living Soul to a living Spiritual Individual, just as Christ
was when he came from the Grave at the Ressurection...Luke 24:39 (KJV)
Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see
me have.
The Tree in the Mist of the Garden has always been with those
that is considered to be a living Soul, and has never been fare from them.
What Happened was, Eve took of this Tree that Would be able
to open here Eyes to know both Good and Evil.
Paul said the Same thing when he said that he was alive
once, but when the Law Revived he died...Romans 7:9 (KJV)
For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment
came, sin revived, and I died.
This Commandant was the Tree that Lucifer talked or Tricked
Eve into putting her Trust in, and Occupying the Commandants and the Ordainces, she could use the Law or the Commandants to
be as God’s, or to be able to take Dominion, or hold Dominion over those around her.
God said to Satan there in the Garden these words...Genesis 3:15 (KJV)
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.
Most have said that this enmity is Jesus Christ, but we need
to realize this is not Jesus Christ, but is A Carnal Mind, that god will place between the Seed of Satan, and the Seed of
the Woman.
This bings up a Eye Opening that many have missed, that
is, Satan has a Seed, and the Seed of Satan was the First Son that Came from the Womb of Eve...1 John 3:8
(KJV)
He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth
from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
God placed the Carnal Mind in full swing, that is he allowed
Satan to Stand at the Door of the Heart of those Children that desire not to Offer up the Sacrifice that Pleases the Lord.
Throughout the Many Generations that Followed Adam and Eve,
we can see the Seed of the Evildoers, those that are descendants of Cain, or the descendants of Satan.
Judas was one of the Seeds of Satan, he wore the Robes
of Righteousness and used his ability’s to deceive even the other Eleven Disciples...Mark 14:19 (KJV)
And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by
one, Is it I? and another said, Is it I?
They were, or did not have their Eyes Open to the Truth,
for the Voice of the Lord, the Same Voice of god that was walking in the Cool of the Day, there in the Garden of Eden, this
voice was now come to the Earth to Slay the Enmity...Ephes. 2:11-22 (KJV)
Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles
in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; 12That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers
from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: 13But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far
off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. 14For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition
between us; he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: 17 15Having
abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself
of twain one new man, so making peace; 16And that And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. 18For through
him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. 19Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and
of the household of God; 20And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the
chief corner stone; 21In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: 22In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
Jesus became the Curse that Cursed mankind, when he was driven
out of the Garden, or he became the Enmity through his Flesh.
He Abolished the Law of Commandants and Ordainces.
You that go and take the Ten Commandants and place the
Value of these Commandants as you Symbol of your Faith, you need to go back and realize that these Commandants are, yes Good,
but are not made for the Righteous but for the Truce Breakers, to Punish them for the Wrong that they do, and that Your are
Free from the Law...Romans 8:2 (KJV)
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made
me free from the law of sin and death.
The Law, that Tree that Eve took from and gave also to Adam,
this was the Institution of Judgment to those that Disobeyed God.
The Beast that was So Subtle, he had just been place into Chains
of Darkness, and he had just been Kicked out of the Paradise, along with Adam and Eve, out into the Earth where he had Occupied
before and where he was to Rule the Earth, over the Host of Heaven that Occupied the Earth long Before that the First Adam
was Created.
Lucifer was Placed in Chains of Darkness, in fact he is Darkness,
and the Law, that Tree that Eve ate from, placed her and Adam into the Same Chains of Darkness, and this is why that when
she had Cain, she literally thought that God had given her this Son, but she was now As God’s able to produce through
Birth, both Good and Evil.
Yes here eyes were now open, to know both Sorrow and Pain and
to also be able to Do Good, and produce or give birth to that which is Good, speaking of Able.
The Two Seeds were now born into this Cursed World and Enmity,
the Carnal Mind was now placed between her Seed and Satan’s Seed, which was Cain.
This is why that Cain rose up and Killed his brother
Able...Genesis 4:8 (KJV)
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.
This Hatred which we see today among many, just keeps stirring
up trouble in Churches and every home in he World.
Just as Eve had the Same opportunity to take of the Tree of
Life, Cain could have done as Able, he could have offered up that without Blemish or Spot, and he too could, just as many
today can offer up to the Lord a better Sacrifice of Praise, or Giving Thanks to Jesus Christ the Lamb without Spot of Blemish.
Yet many think that they can pay their Tithes and do whatever
they want, or be known in the Churches that they are Approved of God because they Tithe, they are to have the Highest Seats
among those around them.
This is what Cain did, he thought that he could Purchase
God...Acts 8:18-24 (KJV)
And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles'
hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, 19Saying,
Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. 20But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee,
because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. 21Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for
thy heart is not right in the sight of God. 22Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may
be forgiven thee. 23For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity. 24Then answered
Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me.
This Simon, he though he could Buy the Power of the Holy Ghost,
and today we see that many infallible Proof’s are not being done, just because we think that we can buy the Holy Ghost,
which is God, and Jesus Christ.
Is it a mistake to say, as God’s Children, we have
or should I say, some have, Sliding into the state of where they have been Beguiled as Eve was...2 Cor. 11:3
(KJV)
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.
Paul is here addressing the Corinthian Church, and is concerned
that they had been beguiled by Satan.
Satan just doesn’t want the Simplicity of Christ to be
the Rule in the Church.
Simplicity means to be at ease or to be Chasteness or Restraint.
Someone said that an Individual is always beside himself, which
means, he or she just can’t hold themselves and must act on Impulse or impetus which means to Drift.
These Corinthian’s had Drifted away from the intended
Course that had been Charted by the Apostles.
In other words, they were off the beaten path, or had been
knocked out of the race for God.
So we do now understand what the penalty that was imposed upon
Cain for his Actions that was not accepted by God.
Cain had a Seed springing up inside his Spirit, or his
soul, that had troubled, not just him, but many that came into his presence...Hebrews 12:15 (KJV)
Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest
any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;
Because of this Root of Bitterness, many have been defiled,
and many have not entered into the Presence of God.
It was Two Thieves that hung, one on each side of Christ, there
at the Crucifixion, and these Two gives us an Insight to the way mankind is when he is passing over from this World unto the
other Side.
The one wanted Jesus to Prove himself, and had no respect for
all that Jesus had done, he actually did not believe he was the Messiah.
He railed on him, complaining that if Christ was who he said
he was, he would not let him Suffer the things that had come upon him.
All the things that he had to give account for, was from his
past dealings with mankind.
On the other Hand the other Thief realized and believed on
Christ, asked not for Christ to get him out of trouble, but just wanted to be Remembered when he came into his Kingdom.
I have said that this was the First to enter into Paradise,
even before Abraham and Moses.
Think on it, he, Jesus had to die before anyone could enter
into Paradise, and he was the first to Die after Christ Died, that is the first to Believe on the Simplicity of Christ.
