LET US MAKE MAN
Many question where Cain's wife came from because God created Adam and Eve and they had children but where did Cain's wife come from? This causes doubt and confusion. Many fear to talk about this and others just throw out theories as being facts as to explain it away.
So, let's go seek a lil TRUTH shall we? Buckle up as it will be quite a ride into the Spiritual realm of God. We will start at the beginning ... Most are familiar with the story of Creation and how God created the
Heaven and Earth:
|
Genesis 1:1
In the beginning God
created the heaven and the earth. |
Most know
that He created Heaven and earth and all that is therein in
six days and rested on the seventh day.
|
Genesis 2:1-3
Thus the heavens and the
earth were finished, and all the host of them. And
on the seventh day God ended his work which he had
made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his
work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh
day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had
rested from all his work which God created and made.
|
Most know
that God created Adam from the dust of the ground.
|
Genesis 2:7
And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the
ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of
life; and man became a living soul. |
Then took a
rib from Adam and created Eve.
|
Genesis 2:21-22
And the LORD God caused a
deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he
took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh
instead thereof; And the rib, which the LORD God had
taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her
unto the man. |
Most are
familiar with the story of Adam and Eve and how the enemy of
our soul came as a serpent and tempted Eve with the fruit
from the forbidden tree of knowledge of good and evil. Most
know Eve then got Adam to join her in this disobedience.
|
Genesis 3:1-6
Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the
field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto
the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of
every tree of the garden? And the woman said unto
the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of
the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in
the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not
eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not
surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat
thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye
shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. And when
the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and
that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be
desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit
thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband
with her; and he did eat. |
GOD SAID LET US MAKE MAN IN OUR IMAGE ADVENTURE
Most know
they both got punished and banned from the Garden of Eden
for doing this.
|
Genesis 9:3-24
And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him,
Where art thou? And he said, I heard thy voice in
the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked;
and I hid myself. And he said, Who told thee that
thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree,
whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not
eat? And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to
be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this
that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent
beguiled me, and I did eat. And the LORD God said
unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou
art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast
of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust
shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: 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. 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. And unto Adam he said,
Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy
wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I
commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it:
cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt
thou eat of it all the days of thy life; Thorns also
and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou
shalt eat the herb of the field; In the sweat of thy
face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the
ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou
art, and unto dust shalt thou return. And Adam
called his wife's name Eve; because she was the
mother of all living. Unto Adam also and to his wife
did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed
them. And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is
become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now,
lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the
tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: Therefore
the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden,
to till the ground from whence he was taken. So he
drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the
garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which
turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of
life. |
Most know
that they had two sons named Cain and Abel and that both
gave God a sacrifice and that God was more pleased with
Abel's sacrifice and this angered Cain. In jealousy, Cain
slew his brother.
|
Genesis 4:1-8
And Adam knew Eve his
wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I
have gotten a man from the LORD. And she again bare
his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep,
but Cain was a tiller of the ground. And in process
of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the
fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD. 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: But unto Cain and to
his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very
wroth, and his countenance fell. And the LORD said
unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy
countenance fallen? 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. 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.
|
Check out this lil said let us make man in our image tidbit of truth ... Most know
that God came to Cain and asked where Abel was and Cain
replied ... "Am I my brother's keeper" ... Most know that
God punished Cain by sending him away and that Cain said
that the people that saw him in other cities would kill him
so God put a mark of protection on him. Many know that when
Cain left he went to another city and found and married a
wife.
|
Genesis 4:9-17
And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy
brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's
keeper? And he said, What hast thou done? the voice
of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the
ground. And now art thou cursed from the earth,
which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's
blood from thy hand; 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. And Cain said unto the LORD, My
punishment is greater than I can bear. 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. 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. And Cain went out from the presence of the
LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of
Eden. And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and
bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the
name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch. |
But, what
most do NOT know is ... Where did these people that Cain feared would hurt him come
from? Where did Cain's wife come from. Think about
it ... If God created Adam and Eve and they had Cain and
Abel, where did the rest of the people come from? There is
one theory out there which suggests that Adam and Eve had
many children and that one of these children is the wife of
Cain. They use this Scripture to confirm this.
|
Genesis 5:3-4
And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat
a son in his own likeness, and after his image; and
called his name Seth: And the days of Adam
after
he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and
he begat sons
and daughters ... |
Sooooooo, it seems we have the answer ...
But wait just a second.
It said that AFTER Adam and Eve had Seth (Which was born
after Cain had been banished) That Adam and Eve had other
kids.
Plus ...
Why were the other children not ever
mentioned if there were some born earlier?
Were they kicked out or did they leave
home and only Abel and Cain stayed?
If so, it was Cain's brothers and sisters
that he feared would kill him?
Hmmmmmmmmm ... We best do a lil said let us make man in our image research
in God's Word to find TRUTH.
To do so we must go back to the beginning.
When God created man.
|
Genesis 1:26-31
And God said, Let us make
man in our
image, after our
likeness: and let them have dominion over the
fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and
over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over
every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
So God created man in His own image, in the image of
God created He him; male and
female created He
them. 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.
And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb
bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the
earth, and every tree,
in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed;
to you it shall be for meat. And to every beast of
the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to
every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein
there is life, I have given every green herb for
meat: and it was so. And God saw every thing that he
had made, and, behold, it was very good.
And the evening and the morning
were the sixth day. |
Now there are some awesome tidbits in here
if ya look closely. For example ... God said let US make man
in OUR Image. Not only is it cool to be made in God's image
but what is this US and OUR business all about? The answer
can be found in the
Trinity study,
which you can check out after this study. This study
explains why God said US and OUR and how we are made in
God's image. Let's look at the next interesting point.
It is written ...
|
Genesis 1:27
So God created man in His own image, in the image of
God created He
him;
male and female
created He them.
|
Both male
and females were created at this time and BOTH were created
in His image.
Then God
told them to ...
|
Genesis 1:28
Be fruitful,
and multiply, and
replenish the earth. |
REplenish? How does one replenish the Earth unless
it had been there before and was destroyed and was the reason that
is was dark and without form and lifeless?
|
Genesis 1:2
And
the earth was
without form, and void;
and darkness was upon the face of the deep.
|
GOD SAID LET US MAKE MAN IN OUR IMAGE CYCLES
Let's take a quick, God said let us make man in our image, field trip. God says there will be a NEW Heaven and NEW Earth after this 7000 year cycle we are currently in.
|
Isaiah 65:17
For, behold, I create
new heavens and a new
earth: and the
former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. |
|
Isaiah 66:22
For as the
new heavens and the new
earth,
which I will make, shall remain before me, saith
the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain. |
|
2 Peter 3:13
Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for
new heavens and
a new earth,
wherein dwelleth righteousness. |
|
Revelation 21:1
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth:
for the first heaven
and the first earth were passed away;
and there was no more sea. |
God has given the exact same description of the
Earth as it was described "In the beginning" through the prophet
Jeremiah speaking of another time yet to come.
|
Jeremiah 4:22-27
For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they
are sottish children, and they have none
understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do
good they have no knowledge.
I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and
void; and the heavens, and they had no light.
I beheld the mountains, and, lo,
they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly. I
beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds
of the heavens were fled. I beheld, and, lo, the
fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities
thereof were broken down at the presence of the
LORD, and by his fierce anger. For thus hath the
LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet
will I not make a full end. |
And check this
strange statement out.
|
Genesis 2:4
These are the
generations of the heavens and of the earth
when they were created, in the
day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens. |
Could it be that
just as it will be at the end of this seven
thousand year cycle, when God will create a New
Heaven and New Earth that this cycle has
occurred before? Could it have happened many
times? If so ... would this not explain the
fossils that are millions of years old and bring
harmony to the Science versus The Bible
division?
GOD SAID LET US MAKE MAN IN OUR IMAGE ORIGINS
Now let us return
to the topic at hand which is where did Cain's
wife come from. I took that lil detour to show
you just how much one can miss if they just read
the Bible instead of Study it.
Now, where were
we. Oh yeah ...
|
Genesis 1:26-31
And God said, Let us make
man in our
image, after our
likeness: and let them have dominion over the
fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and
over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over
every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
So God created man in His own image, in the image of
God created He him; male and
female created He
them. 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.
And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb
bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the
earth, and every tree,
in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed;
to you it shall be for meat. And to every beast of
the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to
every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein
there is life, I have given every green herb for
meat: and it was so. And God saw every thing that he
had made, and, behold, it was very good.
And the evening and the morning
were the sixth day. |
Notice that God
created man on the SIXTH DAY.
Then after he had
finished His work, He takes the SEVENTH DAY off.
|
Genesis 2:1-3
Thus the heavens and the
earth were finished, and all the host of them. And
on the seventh day God ended his work which he had
made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his
work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh
day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had
rested from all his work which God created and made.
|
What is said next?
|
Genesis 2:4-6
These are the
generations of the
heavens and of the earth
when they were
created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth
and the heavens, And every plant of the field before
it was in the earth, and every herb of the field
before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it
to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to
till the ground. But there went up a mist from the
earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. |
GENERATIONS of the Heaven(s) and of the
Earth huh?
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm ...
THEN God creates Adam ...
|
Genesis 2:7
And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the
ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of
life; and man became a living soul. |
And creates the Garden in Eden ...
|
Genesis 2:8
And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden;
and there he put the man whom he had formed. |
GOD SAID LET US MAKE MAN IN OUR IMAGE TIMELINE
Now the problem is ... God created male and female in His image and told them to go replenish the
Earth on the SIXTH DAY and then rested on the SEVENTH DAY
and then created Adam. This suggests that God created mankind and
then created Adam later OR after the Bible speaks of the Seventh Day, it stops and then
begins to reflect back on events that transpired during the
seven days when it said:
|
Genesis 2:4-6
These are the
generations of the heavens and of the earth
when they were created, in the
day that the LORD God made the earth and the
heavens, And every plant of the field before it was
in the earth, and every herb of the field before it
grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain
upon the earth,
and there was not a man
to till the ground. But
there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the
whole face of the ground. |
This is possible because it said AFTER the
Seventh day that there was no man to till the ground when
God had made man on the SIXTH day. Sooooooo maybe the Bible
is reflecting back on events that occurred during the SEVEN
days or maybe there are GENERATIONS that passed during God's
creation.
But wait ... God gave Adam the punishment
of having to work the land. Why would He punish him by
making Adam till the land if he was already doing it?
Did not GOD plant the Garden in Eden?
|
Genesis 2:8
And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden;
and there he put the man whom he had formed. |
Confused yet? Wait just a second ... There is more to consider within the God said let us make Scripture. Remember the GENERATIONS issue?
|
Genesis 2:4
These are the
generations of the
heavens and of the earth
when they were created, in the day that the LORD God
made the earth and the heavens. |
It is written that ONE day to God is 1000
years to man.
|
Psalm 90:4
For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday
when it is past, and as a watch in the night. |
|
2 Peter 3:8
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that
one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a
thousand years as one day. |
Could this
be what is meant by GENERATIONS?
So we see
that it is also possible that several thousand years passed
during that SEVEN days.
BUT wait
yet again ...
|
Genesis 1:5
And God called the light Day, and the darkness he
called Night. And the
evening and the morning
were the first day. |
This suggests that it was not
1000 years but rather an evening and a morning.
But how long is an evening to
God? How long is a morning?
Is this based on 1000 years?
While that is simmering on a
back burner, let us consider this possibility
...
Have you ever noticed how
God has ALWAYS picked out a special man and carried the
bloodline to JESUS.
He chose Noah, Abraham Jacob,
David etc. all the way to Jesus.
A Generation bloodline if ya
will.
Maybe He did the same with
Adam. Maybe He created mankind on the 6th day and told then
to replenish the earth but then created Adam as His special
one.
Are you starting to see all
the possibilities that there are for Cain having a wife
besides the Bible being a lie or the woman Cain married
being Adam and Eve's child that I suppose most that believe
that theory are saying the Bible failed to mention the other
children at the time of Cain and Abel and that Adam and Eve
kicked out all their kids except for Cain and Abel?
Now, before you decide what
you want to believe is TRUTH ...
Consider this God said let us make man Scripture.
|
Genesis 5:2
Male and female created He them; and blessed
them, and called
their
name Adam, in the day when they were created. |
GOD SAID LET US MAKE MAN IN OUR IMAGE CONCERN
Uh oh, Spaghettio ... The Bible just called both
male and female ADAM. What does the word ADAM mean? Well now, we gotta remember
that the Bible was translated from Hebrew to Latin to
English to various other languages. The name Adam is the
masculine form of the Hebrew adamah in our likeness "ground". The
word also carries the in our likeness of "man" in the sense of
"mankind".In Hebrew the word Adam is
used to designate the species of human beings. So let's read it again with
this understanding and see if it makes sense ... God made males AND females on the SIXTH DAY and called them
... Human Beings or mankind. Then ... God created Adam
and took a rib and created Eve. All through the Bible, the
people's names meant something and that is why they received
that name.
Adam was called Adam cuz He was a human being. God never actually calls him
ADAM by name as He does Abraham, Jacob, David and others
that He chose and for good reason ... They were not the first of
the HUMANS that He chose to carry on His bloodline. He called Jacob ... ISRAEL.
Then again He has called the people of Israel ... Jacob.
If this is a lil confusing
consider it like this. For God to call to Adam would be like
you calling for your son and saying, SON ... Come here. His name is NOT son, but he
is your SON.
So, what have we learned in this God said let us make man in our image Bible study thus far?
Cain's wife could have been an unmentioned child of Adam and
Eve that left home. Cain's wife could have been one of the human beings created. Cain's wife could have been one of many in the GENERATIONS
of creation. And there are probably lots
of other possibilities. YOU choose whether it is deemed important enough to research
and if so, what you want to believe from what you discover.
But if you take anything away
from this God said let us make man in our image study, let it be this ... Never doubt the Word of God
just because that particular aspect does not make sense to you. God's ways are not our ways and His ways so much higher than ours cuz when this began, it had
the potential to cause doubt and confusion as there seemed
no answer. Now ... You have several reasons to choose from
as to where Cain got his wife. Tho you may not have
discerned where his wife came from, you do have PEACE in
knowing the Word of God is the TRUTH. So in conclusion ... Our God said let us make man in our image quest for facts reveals that we should never limit God's Word to our limited worldly understanding.
