The quote from me(my post) was because of the way you explained the line of Seth(sons of God) and Cain(family outcast) in post #116 ...
Noah and his sons and their wives, eight people were those whom the world was re-populated after the flood how is Cain involved in what you’re now saying?
well the line of Noah began with Adam and is Seth’s line , what I’m saying is cain was removed , blotted out of Gods people here but went and created his own people what I’m meaning to say about cain is that he was removed from Gods people here because he rebelled and killed cain after Hod told him he needed to do good and not evil to be accepted
“And he said,
What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.
( cains world changes here he’s an outcast from Gods people )
And
now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand; 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.
…... And
Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden. 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 unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech……
Genesis 4:10-18 KJV
After this Seth replaces abel but cain is removed from the geneology of Gods people in scripture notice why I quoted this part it’s after cain kills abel and is exiled
“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.
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.”
Genesis 4:25-26 KJV
So my point about cain is he’s removed but is still in the earth having many children who aren’t Gods people cain represents all of the non believers in tbe world who are t going to be included , Seth’s line the Children of God represents Christian’s born anew in Christ back into Gods line of people ( the sons “ the children “ both male and female of God, like Seth’s line in the beginning
Cain is not mentioned after that point in the geneology like he’s blotted out of the geneology but is also still pro creating people who don’t know God and don’t belong to Gods group on earth
“This is the book of
the generation of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
And
Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and
begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth: and the days of Adam after he had begotten
Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters: and all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died. And
Seth lived an hundred and five years, and begat Enos: and Seth lived after he begat Enos eight hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters: and all the days of
Seth were nine hundred and twelve years: and he died.”
Genesis 5:1-8 KJV
See before the flood you have already a wicked line of people established in the ot pattern in cain and his children and you have Gods line of people Seth’s line who replaced abel the accepted son of Adam for Gods line of people according to the flesh in the ot
later you have Noah and his three sons but remember Noah , is a son of Adam and descendant of seth so that same line is preserved through the flood , and also it Carrie’s to Abraham who was Noah’s descendant and Seth’s descendant. And adams descendant who was the son of God in the beginning
After all this is established in thefirst five chapters this appears
“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.”
Genesis 6:4 KJV
at here are already two lines of humans one that belonged to God and called on his name ( the sons of God ) and the children of cain the exiled and castaway murderer and the two lines had intermingled causing a catastrophe of evil influence through Gods line of people in those days and resulted in this
“And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.”
Genesis 6:5-8 KJV
see adams son Seth , who’s descendant Noah is preserved through Noah and his sons so it’s still the same line from Adam To Seth ( cain is totally removed from the geneology )
So adam , Seth , Noah , Shem , abraham , David , Jesus …..
cain
represents rebellion , just like Noah son
ham rebelled and was cursed and his line yet shems line which leads to Abrahams blessing , and japeths line who represents gentiles included with shems line in the blessing so you have the world divided into thirds from Noah’s sons . one line like cains line represents a line of wickedness and rebellion and curses
Cain , Ham , the Canaanite’s , Egypt , Babylon , Persia Greece Rome ect those nations that rejected the true God but also conquered the world at times are represented by cains line in the beginning is all I’m saying about cain his actual line was cut out of gods people and perished in the floods
the concept is carried on in shem Japheth and hams line of people that are rejected becaue they reject God
