Why Cain And Able Brought A
Sacrifice.
Notice this one statement before we start, and that
will give us an insight of why Cain and Able brought a Sacrifice.
It is this; No wife is mentioned before they built and
alter and brought a Sacrifice, so it centers around their Marriage.
This was mentioned when I read the first commentary
by Martin Luther on the first chapters of Genesis. I looked into it, and saw
that it had merit.
To prove anything, let us look at the rest of the
Bible, and see what can be revealed.
Now Adam and Eve to me told the boys that he was
going to give each a sister as a wife, but first they must first build
and alter, bring a Sacrifice to God of the best they had, and dedicate
themselves to God.
We know Able was killed before he could have
offspring, so who would declare his generation, and the same was said of
Jesus, as He was taken out of the land of the Living, and who would declare
His Generation, and He done that by the Holy Ghost and the Word of God.
Now Able brought a Lamb the best he had and it was the
works of God's Hands, but Cain brought the fruit of the ground that he had
grown, and it was the works of his hands, and God cannot accept that as your
Sacrifice.
Now matter what Adam and Eve told the boys what caused them
to get thrown out of the Garden, Able received a Revelation, received a Vision
from God that it was blood that caused them to get thrown out of the garden.
He was a Son of God, and God sees to it that His Children receive His Word,
His Voice, and leadership. Cain received no such Revelation...Able then
because of being a Son, and having Faith, and seeing a Vision, brought a Lamb,
and you know dragging it to an alter, and beating and cutting, and blood all
over him and his alter, God saw Calvary in that, but the Vegetables on the
Alter did not fore-shadow Calvary at all..that types the fare-you-sees and the
sad-you-sees, and the denominations of our day and age.
You see the Lamb Able offered was an innocent Victum, and
that is the plan of God.
Now when God had respect to the Lamb Able offered,
was when the Fire fell and Consumed that Lamb, and Able knew then He was
accepted, as God accepted His Sacrifice..He was One with His Sacrifice.
Think of this; when you bring the Lamb offered at Calvary,
God has accepted that Sacrifice, and you become one with that Sacrifice, and
by that you are Married to Jesus Christ...See then Cain and Able getting a
wife because of their Sacrifice?.The Word is God's Absolute.
You see 1 John 5;7 says there are Three that bear
Record in Heaven, the Father, The Word, and the Holy Ghost, and these three
are One...not as One, but are One....so God wrote His Record in the earth
using Adam, Able and Seth..Adam had the Father part to get that record
started...Able had the Propagation,The Faith part, The Revelation Part, the
Son Part, and Seth had the Finish-up part, the Holy Ghost, and then men
began to call upon the Name of the
Lord.You see the Voice of the Blood of Able cried from the
ground...The One that was Able...so the Son of God that was named Able, is
well able to do all things well, and we are the ground that the Blood of the
Lamb cries through of the one that is Able to do all things by Bible-Faith
that is in you.
It can't be make-believe Faith, it has to be real in your
heart and Life.
God made a Covenant with Adam and He broke it......God made
a Covenant with Abraham with no conditions, as He said, I have made thee a
Father of Nations...The Seed to come to restore all that the first Adam and
Eve lost, was Christ...God the Father made an Everlasting Covenat with Jesus,
and that is where My Salvation is settled. I was In Christ at Calvary, and He
chose to take all my judgement upon Himself, and I can't be judged twice..The
Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world, so I am in the world, and I
accept what He done for me...I was in Him at Calvary, and He chose to take all
my sins upon Himself, and He went to hell in my place, and if He rose again,
and He did, then God the Father accepted the fact that all my sins were
upon Him, and therefore destroyed in the sea of Forgetfulness, and now by The
Throne of the Father in Heaven, I am still in HIm...Him in me, and
Me in Him. Like a drop of water in a bottle of wine..The water loses it's
life-nature, and takes on the power and nature-life of the Wine, as both
are united in One.....Now if God accepts My faith in Him, His Life will work
in me, and not the works of Satan any longer.Now you may make a mistake, but
the Holy Ghost will convict you, and you repent, and it is gone..
If you are connected to the Vine, the sap-life is in you,
and He said He will prune it so it can bear much fruit, and if you bear no
fruit, He will cut it off and cast it into the fire to be destroyed forever.
All that was in God, was poured into Christ, and all that
was in Christ, was poured into His Bride, and day by day His Very Image is
molded more and more into you until you go to the next world.
I can't tell it all, but I hope this is a blessing to the
True believer.
