I highly recommend before continuing here that you pause to read Genesis chapters 2-4, so the scriptural account is fresh in your mind, and, that you pray for the Lord to grant you insight according to His good pleasure. This study is not intended for children, the immature adult or casual seeker. It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter. After all the years since that memorable season I'm still learning what some of those answers really mean and how important they really are. Each answer had multiple confirmations following. I really had no particular insight or special interest in this topic before the revelation came, but it came in a season where I was being prompted to ask lots of specific questions and subsequently led directly to the answers. That was about 18 years ago, sometime in the winter of 1991/1992. How can I write with confidence on this subject? Because the Lord showed me, and I know it. If we want to gain some wisdom and understanding about sin and its consequences we're going to have to account for the nature of the command that was disobeyed and the acts of disobedience. If we're just interested in stories that entertain small children, then, fine, we can limit the point made to the matter of disobedience. How should the parent respond in these cases? You see, the nature of the act of disobedience, of the command that's disobeyed, has a bearing on the response. Consider how a disobedient child might sneak a cookie before dinner or, perhaps, they might burn the house to the ground. My response to that is, let's not be ignorant. Adam was told, don't do that, but he did it anyway. Some will want to argue that the sin in the Garden was disobedience and that this is really the only thing that matters. For the mature, though, there's more to be known and understood about the Garden scenario and its consequences, much more! What is that but the colorful use of figurative language to explain a mature subject to the immature? The story told about Adam and Eve being tricked by a snake into eating an apple from a tree is like that. You're probably familiar with the classic way parents explain sexual reproduction to their children as "the birds and the bees." Another classic is the "brought by a stork" explanation for where babies come from. Adam did not father Cain, the serpent did. This is important because, as I think you'll shortly see, unless you really grasp the importance of seed and what happened in the Garden between the serpent, Eve and Adam you're missing a major "piece of the puzzle." Without it, you won't be able to interpret some really important elements of the counterfeit and the genuine agendas playing out in these last days. That's an assumption this writing will challenge. Is Adam really Cain's Father? You may understand the Bible to say Adam and Eve had sex and Cain was born of that union.
