Kingdom of Cain page 2 by ric gustafson
There is a natural pattern to every person's life. There is birth, a rise, a fall. And then there is an aftermath. We are born, reach our prime, fade and then die.
The story of Cain and Abel in the Old Testament sets the pattern. It was the first story of man born after the fall.
Adam and Eve's first son was Cain. Cain offered the fruit of the ground to God. Cain's brother Abel offered fat portions of the firstborn of his flock. God favored Abel's offering. Not Cain's. This made Cain angry.
One day out in the field, Cain killed his brother Abel.
God asked Cain. " Where is your brother?".
Cain replied. " I don't know Am I my brother's keeper?".
God knew what had happened. God put a curse on Cain. God put a mark on Cain. That way no one would kill him.
Cain left God's presence. Cain began living in the land of Nod. He built a city.
Cain's descendants created new ways of life.
