Cain and Abel and the genealogies

VIEW:642 DATA:2020-03-20

Let us examine the genealogy of Christ in Luke (end)

Luk 3:37 Lamus of Methuselah, Methuselah of Enoch, Enoch of Jared, Jared of Maleleel, Maleleel of Cainan,
Luk 3:38 Cainan of Enos, Enos of Seven, Seven of Adam , and Adam of God.

Now we have no quote from either Abel or Cain.

Let's go to another quote.
Mat 1: 1 Genealogy of Jesus Christ, son of David, son of Abraham.
Mat 1: 2 Abraham was born Isaac; Isaac was born Jacob; Jacob was born Judah and his brothers;

Oops !! Isaac was born out of Abraham, but the firstborn is Ishmael. Isn't that Isaac, Cade Ishmael? And where is Jacob's Rubem?

See now chronicles
1Ch 1: 1 Adam, Seven, Enos,
1Ch 1: 2 Kenan, Maalalel, Jared,
1Ch 1: 3 Enoch, Methuselah, Lamech,
1Ch 1: 4 Noah, Shem, Ham and Japheth.

Cain and Abel don't show up, why? What did 1 Chronicles want to report? The text is informing where the peoples that existed were generated.

1Ch 1:12 the patrusins, the casluins (from which the Philistines came) and the caftorees.

1Ch 1:13 Canaan was the father of Sidon, his firstborn, and Heth,
1Ch 1:14 and the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgases,

Why does Cain and Abel not appear in 1 Chronicles? Simple which people of the time descended from Cain and Abel?
Answer, No people. For Cain's genealogy ends in the flood and Abel didn't even have a son.

In Genesis we have the offspring relative to the descendants of Abraham. What is the relationship between Cain and Abel, in Abram's descent, if Abram comes from the non-miscegenated lineage with Cain's lineage, and Abel did not generate descendants? Note that in the three genealogy analyzes above we saw that genealogies have a function. Or inform the people that existed, or delimit the family tree, or show what mixtures occur in the blood of a people, who seek purity.

In the analysis of Genesis we have the same foundation determined for the Jews.

Ezr 9: 2 for they took their daughters for themselves and for their sons; so that the holy race has mixed with the peoples of other lands; and even the officers and magistrates were the first in this transgression.

Cain's descendants, through their sin and their actions, became a people of wicked actions. And the mixture was corrupting, which in Ezra determines by "holy race", see that all the descendants are of Noah, even so holy race is the one that is not involved with evil actions or customs.

The devil's fatherhood is linked to actions, as Jesus (Yehoshua) quotes.

Joh_8: 44 You have the Devil as your father, and you want to fulfill your father's wishes; he has been a murderer from the beginning, and has never established himself in the truth, because there is no truth in him; when he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own; because he is a liar, and the father of lies.

Demonic paternity comes through actions and not genealogy. Since.

Rom_8: 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

Thus Cain was the son of Adam by genealogy, but his actions were linked to evil. As John 8:44 quotes, and we see therefore.

1Jn_3: 12 not being like Cain, who was of the Evil One, and killed his brother. And why did you kill him? Because his works were evil and his brother's were just.

Mat_13: 38 the field is the world; the good seed is the children of the kingdom; o the tares are the children of the evil one;

Thus the children of the evil one are only those who do not do the works of God. In this way, those who are not of God are removed from the line of God's children.

Abel, in addition to all the characteristics of not having generated a descendant, has the following definition.

Gen_4: 25 Adam made his wife known, and she gave birth to a son, whom he named Sete; because, she said, God gave me another son instead of Abel; because Cain killed him.

So Sete is designated "God gave me another son in place of Abel", a son put in place of Abel.

Thus Cain and Abel, being sons of Adam and Eve, are not marked in the patriarchal genealogies, and of Jesus.
