Who begat this first murderer: Cain? Another famous story: Cain kills Abel, his own brother. Now, what would possess a man to do something so horrible? Cain didn't have a hungry family; there wasn't a war going on. As we recall from Untold Adam and Eve, the serpent and Eve may have gone a little farther than just eating fruit. Their offspring, according to many ancient sources, was Cain. The common word for fathering a child, in the Bible, is begat. Nowhere in the Bible does it say that Adam begat Cain! Although Cain was a child of Eve, he could have also had the genes of someone else: an upset and complaining angelic being, now made human for his punishment. With all the anger and resentment inside this angelic being, could it be assumed that he would pass these thoughts on to whomever he sired? Could this have been a reason why Cain could so easily have committed murder? The serpent (Azazel or Nachash), as postulated before, may have had sex with Eve. Through their fornication, she became pregnant. As a result, they may have sired the twins Cain and Abel. Nowhere in the Bible does it say Cain was Adam's son, nor was he listed in any of the genealogies of Adam (Genesis 5:1)! Cain, on the contrary, was said to be "of the wicked one" (in I John 3:12). The Bible also states the third son born to Eve, Seth, was the first child born to Eve that actually resembled Adam (Genesis 5:3)! Could the first two offspring of the Bible have had the blood of someone else? Lets look: "And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain..." Genesis 4:1 (KJV) To many, this verse was proof positive that Adam had sex with Eve, his wife, and became the father of Cain. The word knew, if we examine the original Hebrew of the Bible, does have the meaning of "sex", which does make it easy to assume they copulated. This word, however, could also mean something totally different: The word knew actually comes from two Hebrew words: yada and eth. The word yada not only means to "have carnal sex with", but also "to recognize", "discern", or "acknowledge". The word eth is untranslatable in English, but generally relates to "a sign", "a distinguishing mark", or "omen". From these, we could also have the following: "And Adam eventually acknowledged the distinguishing sign that had come upon Eve..." Genesis 4:1 (KJV) Also, in the English translation, the Hebrew word for conceived could also mean "to already be with child". If we put them all together, we gather another possible wording for this verse: "And Adam eventually acknowledged the distinguishing sign that had come upon Eve; that she was with child, and realized she was about to give birth to Cain..." Genesis 4:1 (KJV) The verse could also mean that it was time for Cain to be born, and Adam understood that. See how easily things could get misunderstood when people think they should state something in a certain way? The next part of this same verse gives even more creditability for our argument. Apparently, when Eve first saw the baby Cain, she thought she had gotten him from someone beyond her world. As the rest of the verse states, Eve exclaims: "I have gotten a man from the LORD" (Genesis 4:1). According to the New Jerusalem Translation, the verse actually translates from the Hebrew a little differently: "... I have gotten a man from an angel of the LORD." "An angel of the LORD" - a fallen angel of the garden, maybe? Eve apparently thought Cain was of someone very significant. In Untold Adam and Eve, we already mentioned how the angels of the six-day creation rebelled, and they had to descend to earth and take on human form. After the fall of Adam and Eve, God was forced to deal out punishments to them all. Curiously enough, most of the punishments to Eve were related to pregnancy or childbirth. Why? Were they directly related to the act the serpent and Eve participated in, just before the fall? Interestingly enough, there were also curses to the serpent along these same lines: "But He (God) turned to the serpent (in great wrath) and said: 'Since thou hast done this... There shall not be left thee ear, nor wing, nor one limb of all that with which thou did ensnare them in thy malice and causesdst them to be cast out of paradise..." The Apocalypse of Moses 26:1-4 Apparently, God dished out punishments as "an eye for an eye" - the serpent's sexual "limb" was cursed for the way he used it. This answers how Cain allowed himself to go down the wrong paths in life: "After Adam and his wife sinned, and the serpent had intercourse with Eve and injected filth into her, Eve bore Cain. He had the shape from above and from below (the earth)... Therefore, he was the first to bring death into the world, caused by his side, as he came from the filth of the serpent. The nature of the serpent is to lurk, so as to kill, and his issue, Cain, learned his ways." The Zohar: 26 Pekudei 21 Cain apparently carried on the attributes of his father, which could have easily led him to murder Abel. In another curse to the serpent, God made a prediction, in probably one of the most important prophecies of the Bible: "And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel." Genesis 3:15 (KJV) The verse is a little complex; divided into two parts. First, it states the seeds (or descendants) of the serpent will be at enmity with the seeds of Eve. The serpent's seed would form into one bloodline, Adam's pure, whole seed into another. The second part simply was a prediction about Jesus Christ himself, and how he (a member of Eve's seed) would eventually bruise the serpent's head, but members of the serpent seed would only be able to bruise the heel of Jesus. In other words, by crucifying him on the cross, there would be descendants of the serpent who would only be able to bruise Jesus's "heel", but Jesus would become victorious in the end. By raising himself from the dead, Jesus would defeat the serpent's curse of death on the world, and rectify the curse of death Adam and Eve brought to the world - he would crush the serpent's power, or head. If Jesus was from the true seed of Adam and Eve, which the Bible clearly stated, then this prophecy would be fulfilled upon his death, burial and resurrection. The seeds of the serpent, throughout history, would possess an enmity with the blood line that would lead to Jesus, and his teachings from then on. If Cain (and probably others) indeed had the blood (or seed) of the serpent then his descendants would, naturally, be up in arms against anything that is truly, purely, of Jesus, and God. Those who have the blood of the serpent and other fallen angels would go on to form what was known as "mixed multitudes". The conflict between the morals, religious beliefs, and ways of life of these mixed groups would continually oppose those who descended from Adam to this very day, and for the reasons above. This would go on to form one of the most important conflicts in human history: "... the members of the mixed multitude are the children of the primordial serpent that seduced Chavah (Eve) by the tree of knowledge, so the mixed multitude is indeed the impurity that the serpent injected into Chavah. From this impurity, which is considered the mixed multitude, Kayin (Cain) came forth and slew Hevel (Abel)..." The Zohar: 2 Bershith A28 There is more about these mixed multitudes, and how their thoughts, attitudes, and ways of life relate to Adam, Jesus, and the whole rationale behind the Bible. We will discover how Cain and other serpent-seeds began to influence the world in Way of Cain. First, to understand more about how life was lived in the life of the patriarch Cain, see Birds and Beasts. There is a lot more ancient evidence to support this claim of Cain's bloodline, their origins, and their attributes, in the upcoming book, The Rise of Mystery Babylon.
