The Fruit of Sin
Book of Genesis Chapter 4 (Focus on verses 1-15)
What does the word fruit mean?
In a general sense, fruit is the things that the earth produces for nourishment of animals and humans, but also for clothing and for profit.
It is the seed of the plant or in many cases the part of the fruit that holds the seed.
In Christianity, we say the fruit of the Holy Spirit that dwells within us.
In the case of sin, it means the effect of sin or the consequence of sin and we could add the production of sin.
So far in our lessons we saw in God's creation that everything was very good.
In reality we see that Heaven was not perfect and the Earth was not perfect, and we noticed that Satan took advantage of these things in Heaven until he was tossed out and then he immediately took advantage upon this earth.
Now this not to say God cannot create perfect things because He can, and He will.
Much of the Bible teaches us how with a plan God, conceived everything before He made anything.
God has a plan to make every human perfect.
The only perfect being in existence is our Creator!
Now we can also say all those that have made their journey to our Heavenly Home are now perfect even though they are not yet complete.
1Th 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus "will God bring with him".
God has placed a craving within each human to seek out our Creator!
In order for God's plan to work, then each human was given the ability to make choices.
Choice is the act of selecting from two or more things to determine which one is preferred and in the end which one is best for us.
God installed in each of us the yearning to reach out for perfection, but we can never reach this perfection without His help and He planned it this way!
This is the lesson we must learn early in life, but some do not learn it until later in life, but the opportunity still remains until we reach physical death!
Adam and Eve are now sinners in need of a Savior and the Earth has been cursed because of sin.
We say all the time that it was our Creator who caused the curse, in reality it is because sin changes us and it is not for the better!
Adam was told to leave the Garden of Eden and Adam now has to work hard to provide for his family and those who are true to our families are still doing this today.
In our lesson today we will learn of the birth of the first children upon this earth!
Gen 4:1 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.
We will also note that no children were born to Adam and Eve until they had succumbed to sin.
Everyone must face temptation!
In this chapter we also begin to see the results of false worship.
Though they were now sinners, the relationship of Adam and Eve to the Lord had been restored with the blood sacrifice of a lamb and they had also received some clothing to cover their nakedness.
We can have one question that goes unanswered. It is believed that all humans were had meals of vegetables and herbs until after the flood, but we might ask what happened to the meat of the animals that were sacrificed unless it was all sacrificed to the Lord.
What does that word "knew" mean to us?
Gen 3:16 Unto the woman he said, "I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children"; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
Adam "knew" that part of being a helpmeet to him was also a purpose for Eve was to bring forth children and by her falling into sin she had made this work much more sorrowful which means mental pain and grief.
The pains of bearing children will be used in many different ways throughout the Bible.
Adam recognized her nature and uses according to the Word of God.
Gen 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
Do not be fooled by that word replenish. It simply means to make the earth full of humans and replace those that will die off.
There are actually two descriptions of sorrow:
2Co 7:10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
Adam had relations with his wife, and she became pregnant and she would bear many children and her children would bear many children and so those children would bear many children and the world would begin its population growth.
Yes, the wives of Cain and Seth were also their sisters, but this did not create the same problems that incest creates today. We could say they pure bloods.
Her first child was a male child who was named Cain.
Eve had felt that sorrow in childbearing, but she now felt the joy of deliverance.
She also knew that all children are from the Lord and they are not given to abort, to murder, nor to treat as less than human, from the moment of conception.
Mar 10:13 And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.
Mar 10:14 But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
Mar 10:15 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.
Mar 10:16 And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them.
Jesus loved the little children and we should too!
Those nine months had been a great learning experience to pass on to her children.
Nine months later she had her second son, Abel.
*****Gen 4:2 And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
We know that there is nothing wrong with either of these occupations.
Food and clothing are necessities of life.
The name Abel suggest pastoral life as Cain to agricultural life.
We know that in the Bible, Moses and David and many others had been shepherds and while alone with their sheep, they got a better understanding of God.
We also know that a tiller of the ground, after the soil is tilled and the seed planted, they too have much time to spend with the Lord for Him to provide the needed Sun and water.
This is why some of the first false gods pertained to the Sun and the Moon.
Even if the earth brought forth the water as an underground sprinkler system, now because of the curse it also brought forth briers and weeds and the bramble bush.
It amazes me that weeds thrive without water.
God had already planted the pastures, but they now contained things that could cause harm to the sheep and also the danger of wild animals that did not exist before sin entered the world.
The shepherd began to understand the ways of man and the need of a Shepherd.
Psa 78:70 He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds:
Psa 78:71 From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.
Psa 78:72 So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.
It became time to offer a sacrifice to the Lord.
Cain wanted to be recognized for his works, but God would not allow this!
*****Gen 4:3 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.
We should understand that God had required a specific time and a certain place for worship.
We can see that this was probably be at harvest time. No doubt that Cain had worked hard, but he did have to realize that though he tilled the ground the seed he used came from God's creation. The watering of the plants came by God's irrigation system.
Many a farmer would love to have an irrigation system as this one in the Book of Genesis.
Cain also had to realize that it was the Sun another creation of God that caused this harvest to be bountiful.
When Cain had gone to worship on his own and he offered a sacrifice that he had never seen his parents offer, we can see that Cain was trying to add to the Word of God
This day of sacrifice was later added to days of worship for the Hebrew children.
Exo 23:16 And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy labours, which thou hast sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the field.
This was a bloodless sacrifice!
Heb 9:22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
They understood that sin had enter into the world.
When Moses wrote the commandments, all 613, we should know that many of these laws already existed from the time of Adam and Eve.
At this time, all tree fruits and garden produce, were excluded for the sacrifice.
Why, because God had caused these things to grow before sin entered in the world.
The true sin of Cain was the fact that he attached to his sacrifice his ability to do these things without the help of God.
We are never to feel like we can do without God for one minute.
Worship is recognizing we have God our Creator and we are trying to please Him.
Sacrifice is an outward show of that worship.
We must be willing to give back to God because He has given so much to us.
Even before Moses the tithe is established, but in reality, all we have belongs to God and our acknowledgement of sacrifice is to show our gratitude for the things God has provided.
When we give back a tenth, then we are saying God will give back that tenth in multiples when we obey Him.
Another truth is it is just as wrong to approach God with empty hands!
Exo 23:15 Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread: (thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded thee, in the time appointed of the month Abib; for in it thou camest out from Egypt: and "none shall appear before me empty:")
Obviously, Cain had brought a part of his harvest all of which our Creator had caused to grow.
It may not have been the best that he offered but more probable it was his attitude of making himself equal with God.
We must be very careful how we approach our Heavenly Father!
Jesus said in teaching His disciples how to pray:
Luk_11:2 And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.
We must begin by acknowledging the power of the Almighty Living God!
When we cannot do this, we make our selves gods and equal to our Heavenly Father and this what Satan told Eve.
Sin is disobedience and disobedience is like telling God we know more how to take care of ourselves than He does!
We can be sure that Adam would have been very careful to teach his children, how to approach God!
Let us see what Abel did.
*****Gen 4:4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
Abel brought the first born of his flocks and the choicest portions.
When we give the Lord our very best, and the very best of ourselves, God sees that He is first in our lives.
It should be obvious to us that Cain was a wicked man and Abel was not!
They both were sinners. The sin of Abel would be forgiven. The sin of Cain would not be forgiven.
It also seems here that flesh (meat) could have been eaten before the flood.
God accepted the person of Abel, then He accepted his sacrifice.
Heb_11:4 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.
1Jn_3:12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.
Cain was evil and wicked in his heart.
*****Gen 4:5 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
Gen 4:6 And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
Even when God knew how wicked and evil Cain was trying to be, God still loved on him.
God still loves the sinner today!
Cain was mad and it showed.
It is almost impossible to hide our anger from those who are close to us, but it is impossible to hide our anger from God.
Anger held for very long becomes sin!
Eph_4:26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
What happens when we do?
Eph 4:27 Neither give place to the devil.
This is exactly what happened to Cain.
We can see that most all the principles of sin can be found in the Book of Genesis.
God says: Why are you so mad Cain? You see God will always give us space to repent!
Rev_2:21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.
We will see that Cain will do the same, he will refuse to repent because he would allow himself to think he was better than Abel as good as God!
*****Gen 4:7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
If you cannot see the tender side of our God in this Scripture, then you are blind!
You can also see that God opens the door of repentance to Cain and all Cain had to do was to walk inside.
We can see that if we are to remain in the will of God, then those things we do according to His commandments, we must do well!
In reality there was nothing wrong with the sacrifice that Cain offered, it was his attitude of sacrifice.
Jas 2:19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
Jas 2:20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
1Jn 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
1Jn 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
Giving our best means to give according to a righteous heart. Not in self-righteousness!
According to Jehovah, sin is always lying at the door ready to pounce on our mistakes and our misgivings.
We are to rule over our sin and not allow sin to rule over us!
The Apostle Paul said:
Rom_8:13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
Col_3:5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
Put our sin in that coffin and go ahead bury it, so it can no more come between us and the Lord!
What do we know? Cain ignored God's Words and rebelled and sin grew into murder.
These facts of the first murder upon this earth are recorded in the Bible.
*****Gen 4:8 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
We can read into this what we want, but it seems Cain enticed his brother Abel away from his family and murdered him.
Today we would say this was premeditated murder!
There is deception in most all murders! This thing did not happen by accident!
Cain allowed his anger to fester into a greater sin!
Gen 4:4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
Gen 4:5 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
There was surely some jealousy.
More important there was complete rejection of the will of God!
Cain simply was not going to be obedient to the Word of God nor the teaching of his parents.
The Plants multiplied as the Lord said.
The Animals multiplied as the Lord said.
The Humans multiplied as the Lord had said.
We now see that sin will multiply at every opportunity as the Lord has said! (sin lieth at the door)
In fact we will soon see the sin will far outpace righteousness in this newly created world.
Sin is as a predator ready to strike at any time!
1Pe_5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
Cain may have been out of sight of his parents and who knows his plan of deceiving them, but we are never out of sight of our Creator, Elohim.
It was the blood of Abel that cried out to its Creator.
The Blood of Abel cried out for vengeance just as the blood of all martyrs.
Rev 6:9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
Rev 6:10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
We know that the blood of our Savior does not cry out for vengeance, the blood of Jesus cries out for redemption!
Heb 12:23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
Heb 12:24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
And the Lord said to Cain:
*****Gen 4:9 And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?
Gen 4:10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.
Cain had murdered his brother Abel, but just listen as he responds to God's questions.
Keep in mind, Jehovah already knows everything that happened, and when and why it happened. We cannot fool God!
When God questions us like this, He is never looking for answers, He is looking for remorse.
He is looking for a confession of our sin!
He is looking for repentance!
After God's rebuke of his sacrifice, Cain did not learn from his mistake, he had a new sin, the sin of hatred.
Cain hated his brother more each day until he lured him away from his parents and murdered him.
Certainly, he knew where the body of his brother was located.
God knew where the body of Abel was located.
Cain denied the responsibility for his sin and treated his brother’s absence as if it were nothing.
You see no matter what the "judge" says.
No matter what society says.
The premeditated murderer has no remorse for what they have done!
Satan had such a hold on Cain that he might acknowledge the death of his brother, but he would never confess his sin and repent.
Cain was now a child of Satan!
Cain was probably the very first person to enter into Hell! If not him then his son!
Next question, are we our brother's keeper?
Abel was a keeper of sheep, Cain said "am I my brother’s keeper". Cain was saying, am I to be his shepherd?
What does God say about the wicked?
Psa 10:1 Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?
Psa 10:2 The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
Psa 10:3 For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.
Psa 10:4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.
Psa 10:5 His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.
Psa 10:6 He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.
Psa 10:7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.
Psa 10:8 He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor.
Psa 10:9 He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.
Psa 10:10 He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.
Psa 10:11 He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it.
Psa 10:12 Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble.
Psa 10:13 Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.
Psa 10:14 Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless.
Psa 10:15 Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou find none.
Psa 10:16 The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.
Psa 10:17 LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:
Psa 10:18 To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.
What is wrong in America today?
What is wrong in the world today?
2Ti 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2Ti 3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
2Ti 3:3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
2Ti 3:4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
2Ti 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
There is no natural affection for one another, and it began with Cain.
God had no choice but to bring judgment to Cain.
*****Gen 4:11 And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;
Gen 4:12 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.
The man with the first green thumb lost his ability, because green thumbs come by the hand of God!
We must understand that there will be consequences for sin!
Even when sin is repented there will still be consequences.
Today we are still paying for the consequences of that first murder.
Cain had shown no remorse for the premeditated murder of his brother.
The one thing we should remember is, that because of the sin of Adam, we all inherited our sin nature.
One man wrote: "Even at the time when we face the Lord of Life, Jesus the Messiah, the juices of death still flow through our flesh"!
Mat 5:21 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
Mat 5:22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
You see, it was so important for Cain to settle these things with his brother in peace and not in death.
It is the same for all of us today!
Jesus also says that we may not always be able to do this, but this does not mean we are not to try very hard.
God told Cain if he would do well all these things would one day be a bad memory.
Life goes haywire when we think it is just too much to listen to what God has to say!
We must understand that to violate a brother is a deadly act and it is about the same to violate a brother or sister in Christ!
Listen as the Apostle Paul speaks to the Church.
Rom 12:19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Rom 12:20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
Rom 12:21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
The first curse (Genesis 3:14-19) is Elohim's punishment for the consequences of sin.
What about Cain? Yes, he was part of the first curse as a descendant of Adam, his first son.
For Cain, he found farming to be enjoyable and preferred it above all things even God.
Now by the curse, he would no longer have such bountiful harvest.
Now by the curse, the harvest would no longer yield its strength.
He would have to eat more to keep his strength, and we all know this causes us to be overweight.
You can see God withholds His blessing when we are not obedient to the things, He teaches us!
Cain could only listen as Elohim gives His verdict of judgment.
Cain was cursed in his soul.
A vagabond in his body, a vagabond being a fugitive, a wanderer, no longer considering any place his home.
His labors would no longer be prosperous.
This is the first curse pronounced against a human being, but Cain still had the power to repent which he never did all the days of his life.
The ground had already been cursed because of the sin of Adam and Eve, but the misery of Cain would be far worse.
Added to this the blood of Abel was now in the earth and the blood of martyrs pour onto the earth are never forgotten by the Lord.
Rev 6:9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
Rev 6:10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
Rev 6:11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
Jesus had these things to say:
Luk 11:47 Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
Luk 11:48 Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchres.
Luk 11:49 Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute:
Luk 11:50 That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;
Luk 11:51 From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation.
God will never forget those who shed the blood of innocents!
How did Cain respond? Just like every guilty person who has done such things.
*****Gen 4:13 And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear.
Gen 4:14 Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.
Cain felt that he could never be forgiven, but he never repented.
Repentance brings forgiveness!
So many people do not understand the "Grace of God".
Rom_5:20 Moreover the law entered, that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
Even in the time of Cain, the Lord was still full of "Grace" but Cain rejected the "Grace of God" just like many do today.
Cain's soul remained troubled all his days!
Cain hardened his heart against God.
Listen to what Cain says:
1) The punishment is just too great.
2) It is just too severe.
3) Its simply unfair.
4) It is just too abusive.
5) It is just too much for me and for anyone else to bear.
6) It just goes beyond and far outweighs the sin he had committed.
Lam 3:39 Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?
Lam 3:40 Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD.
These are the same excuses used by the liberal hearts today!
Just look at those who are destroying properties and committing murders in the name of protest, where all the methods that police use are considered just too harsh.
Cain understands that others may never forgive him, and they will seek to do him harm.
Cain does not hate his sin.
Cain does not hate that he caused the death of his only brother.
As we see the happenings of the Church today, the world sees the judgment of the Church far too harsh for the sin of the world and the Church has become the enemy for trying to do good.
Isa_5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
God never changes and all those such as Cain who refuse to repent will live similar lives until they find out, Hell is much worse than hell on earth!
Cain feared for his own safety, but God was not about to allow His judgment to end so easily and God was not about to allow a revenge killing which is still murder.
*****Gen 4:15 And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
The murder of Abel was premeditated murder on the part of Cain.
For anyone to commit revenge killing would be far worse in the eyes of God and it should be.
Remember God had set the family unit as the first members of society.
As more family units came about a society would be formed.
Revenge is one of the things that breaks down societies.
We see this more and more today!
There is no doubt that some of the history of our nation is not a proud thing to look back upon.
History is history. History cannot be erased, but it is there to learn from our mistakes and see that it does not happen again.
What is going on in America today is revenge thinking!
Certain groups want revenge in any way they can get it or they will try to take it and they will be looked upon as seven times worse in the eyes of God and those who push such an agenda will be seen even worse than these people!
Why? Because vengeance belongs to the Lord.
The containment of these things will bring about a stable society where these things can be studied to make sure they do not happen again, and laws changed to make all the people be on equal standing.
We do not see this in our government today and I am not talking our President who inherited this mess.
We only see people starving for power when there is only one Power and that is the power of God.
We as society and who seek equality, will never win until we use our power to vote to make real changes and quit listening to broken and unrealistic promises.
Washington needs to be overhauled and those old scalawags need to be retired for good!
Remember the family unit is the first thing God established and the governments are to protect the family unit and not cause the destruction of families as we see today.
The government is not in place to run the lives of the people.
In fact the people are to put a government in place to protect the people and to serve the people.
A sevenfold judgment on those who violate the commands of God is serious.
Amen
