Welcome back to our
next study in Genesis. That God's Word reveals the Truth that Cain was not a
true 'son' of 'the man Adam' placed in the Garden of God, is difficult to
accept for many. Christians today are taught to understand God's Word in
the sense that if it does not 'directly' say something like "Cain is not
the son of the man Adam", then it can't be true. This is so; not only
with the topic of Cain, but with many other subjects within The Word also, such
as the three world, or earth ages. The Manuscripts reveal these Truths, and
that should be the Main Source for all teachers and students of God's Word.
Some might say, "Well if these Truths are there in God's Word, then why
didn't God just come out and say, 'Cain is not Adam's son'. I can't believe God
would hide such a thing". The fact is, God did not hide these Truths
from those who come to Jesus Christ through prayer and study. In other words,
certain 'conditions' must be met. A 'discipline' must be gained, and that is
the meaning of the word 'disciple' used in The Word. If you held a particular Truth which 'weighed in the
balances', so to speak, and you only wanted those that were 'mature' in their
hearts (the real meaning of 'be ye therefore perfect') to receive it, meeting the conditions where they would
not 'trample' upon the 'Truth', would you just throw It out on the ground for
even the profane to pick up? Don't get me wrong. Those profane
who have a change of heart, coming to Christ, with sincerity, disciplining
themselves in The Word would soon grasp the 'pearls' also.
God's Word is continually growing, in that it
is able to cover all 'past, present, and future'. For this reason, it is
written in such a way as to explain the general events of all time. This is why
you'll find various 'parts' of a Message spread out through many different
Books of The Bible. This is also in order to provide 'a second witness' to
God's Truth and to let us know that each Book is the inspired Word forming a complete
'covering'. If you don't understand a Message in one place, It will be covered
elsewhere in The Word also as 'a second witness'. Some Messages have many more
than two occurrences in our Father's Word, pointing to a special Message,
ensuring that we have been given ample space to learn. The problem with
many Christians today is, they haven't truly read or studied enough of The Word
to cover a subject amply. With today's computer technology and the ability to
do your own research with some excellent Bible software available, there's no
excuse for not studying and gaining more of The Word faster than ever before. As
'heathen' practices have grown to abundance today, likewise God has opened up
His Truth to everyone more now than ever.
In Matthew 13, and in other places within The
Gospel, Jesus spoke to the multitudes in parables, and His disciples even
asked our Lord why. In Isaiah 6, our LORD was asked by Isaiah the prophet 'how long' the people's
eyes would be shut, not seeing or hearing with their 'spiritual eyes and ears'. The reply was "...Until the cities be wasted without
inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate," (Isa.6:11). This is another example
of our Father hiding Truth, but only if you haven't understood the events
which take place at the 'last trump' Paul spoke of in I Cor.15, and the 'abomination of desolation'
which Daniel and our Lord and Savior spoke of also.
When will these 'cities' and 'houses' be without 'inhabitant', and the 'land' (Mount Zion)
be 'utterly desolate'
by the 'abomination of
desolation' sitting where it ought not? Are the cities and houses of
today still peopled? Obviously so, Well what kind of condition would that be
then? It is when Jesus Christ returns, back
to earth, with the saints, destroying Satan's (the 'abomination of
desolation') false kingdom
upon this earth, and 'all', as Paul would state, are 'changed' into the 'spiritual body' ending the time of the flesh and those works from it,
ushering in God's Millennium upon this very earth. All the houses and cities
and works by man's hands are going to be destroyed, in one instant, just as
when God did it to destroy the first earth age…
Gen.1:2: And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved
upon the face of the waters.
