It would
be to advantage if the reader was aware of Cain.
There are many stories of Cain. All the legends agree that he was
the first son of Adam and Eve. He killed his brother Abel, a
shepherd, due to jealousy, and was marked by God.
The linage of Cain was short. with Lamech being the most
prominent member He had two wives and two children by each wife.
Here, the mystery of Cain begins and technically ends. It is the
last time Cain or any of his line are mentioned (in the bible).
Adam and Eve had a third son, Seth. This is important for two
reasons—Seth is the founder of the human race; and secondly,
this is the first mention of natural death in the bible. From
this point on, the bible lists the number of years a person had
lived.
Cain and his descendants are never recorded to have died. This
leaves the reader to trust they are still alive; especially Cain.
For God said whoever killed Cain would suffer his wrath—and
Death is but an angel. People are dieing all the time,
illustrating how the Death angel is still at work. It is safe to
infer that Death never took Cain, or God’s wrath would of
manifested into the extortion of the Death angel.
In the book of Genesis (Chap. 4), it is leaned that Cain takes a
wife and builds a City. This City is named Enoch, after his son.
Although
the Book of Enoch is considered as apocryphal, but it was clearly
known to early Christian writers as the following quote from 1
Enoch 1:9 indicates:
"In the seventh (generation) from Adam, Enoch also
prophesied these things, saying: 'Behold, the Lord came with his
holy myriads, to execute judgment on all, and to convict all the
ungodly of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed in
such an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly
sinners spoke against him'." Jude 14-15
The "Book of Enoch", translated by Richard Laurence in
1821 from scrolls found hidden in caves in Ethiopia in 1773.
These scrolls were evidently hidden in the same historical period
as the Dead Sea Scrolls.
The Book of Enoch was not included in either the Hebrew or most
Christian biblical canons, but could have been considered a
sacred text by the sectarians. The original Aramaic version was
lost until the Dead Sea fragments were discovered."
"The original language of most of this work was, in all
likelihood, Aramaic (an early Semitic language). Although the
original version was lost in antiquity, portions of a Greek
translation were discovered in Egypt and quotations were known
from the Church Fathers. The discovery of the texts from Qumran
Cave 4 has finally provided parts of the Aramaic original.
The "Book of Enoch", like the Book of Seth, and other
ancient manuscripts, was denied entrance into the
"approved" version of the original Bible by the Nicene
Council of 325 A.D.
