THE FIRST
SEED - a hidden truth
Bro. Michael Jacob
LESSON 1
The book of Genesis has been
termed as 'seed book of the Bible ' . In it we have, all of the great doctrines in 'seed'
from which are fully developed in the later books of the scripture .
In Genesis, God is
revealed as the creator - God, we have the first mention of the Blessed Trinity
'Let us make man in our image ' ( Gen 1 : 26), we have man exhibited
, we read about the wiles of Satan , the sovereign election , salvation
,Justification etc. Indeed , all of the greatest doctrines are told in a nut shell
which are exposed later on in the books following and their culmination in the
'Apocalypse' showing the Bible's unity and harmony and also showing the Holy Spirit who
inspired Moses to write 'Genesis' is the same Author who revealed to John ,in the Isle of
Patmos the last revelation the 'Apocalypse' . What a marvelous proof is all this of the
Divine Authorship ! Who but the One who knows the end from the beginning , could have
embodied , in 'seed' form, what is afterwards expanded and amplified in the rest of the
Bible!
Now, what I am going to write to
you is not to be taken as a doctrinal truth. I place before you nearly 30 years of
meditation in the Word of God which made me curious and given an insight which I think I
should share it with you. You may disagree ;you may laugh at this article- doesn't matter.
Because you and I love the scripture , let us study together . I would only pray like
Elisha , "LORD, I pray Thee, open his eyes that he may see " (II kings 6 : 17)
In Genesis, the "seed - book
" of the Bible, the greatest revelation was given in the very first prophesy in the
Bible uttered by God back in the garden of Eden, "And I will put enmity between thy
seed and her seed ; it shall bruise thy head , and thou shalt bruise his heel"
(Gen 3 :15) . As you all know, the 'women's seed ' is our LORD JESUS CHRIST being born of
virgin Mary by the over shadowing of the Holy Spirit -Then the 'serpent's seed ' must be
the Anti-Christ.
What really happened in the
garden of Eden is a mystery ! The first 'sin' is not only the sin of 'disobedience', it is
much more. May the Lord help us to study together the amazing revelation in the scripture
.
Rev 2 : 7 , "He that hath an
ear , let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. To him that overcometh
will I give to eat of the tree of Life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God
"
Now notice , it says that the
Spirit is speaking to the churches. That is plural , not singular. The Spirit did
not want John to write to a local Ephesian church only ,not for that age only, but for all
church ages. But this (Ephesian church in the Revelation) is the church of the beginnings.
And so it is like the book of Genesis.
What is the reward promised ?
"The tree of life"-It
is mentioned three times in the Book of Genesis and three times in the Book
of Revelation . In all six places, it is the same tree and symbolizes exactly the same
thing .
Spiritually speaking the 'Tree of
Life' is a type of our Lord Jesus CHRIST and the 'Tree of knowledge of Good and
Evil is a type of the Evil one, Satan. But at present , we are not proceeding in that
direction. Remember, literally, there were two trees by the same name in the Garden of
Eden and Adam and Eve ate the fruit of the forbidden tree.
Man was to live by the Tree of
Life; he was not to touch the other tree , and if he did , death would enter into him by
his sin, and he would be separated from God.
Here is where we receive the true
revelation of the 'serpent's seed'. Here is what really happened in the garden of Eden .
Eve was actually beguiled by the serpent. She was actually seduced by the serpent. In Gen
3 : 1 the word of God says ,"Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of
the field which the Lord God had made ". This beast was so close to a human being
(and yet was pure animal ). Like Balamm's ass talked when the Lord opened the mouth of the
ass (Num 22 : 28), the Lord allowed the serpent's mouth to be opened that he could reason
and talk . In the beginning , the serpent was so close to being human that his seed could,
and did mingle with that of the woman and caused her to conceive . Man did not come from
monkey . The Evil one, the Anti-Christ, came from the serpent whom Satan possessed . That
is why , Anti-Christ is called the 'beast', because in one sense, he is the 'son of the
beast' and in other sense ' the wicked one ' (II Thes 2 ). Satan has no creative power
like God so he could not place 'his seed ' in Eve and thereby had to come through the
'serpent'.
When this happened , God cursed
the serpent. He changed every bone in the serpent's body so that he had to crawl like a
snake. Why should God do that to serpent's body which He did to no other creature whom He
created? Because the serpent in the beginning could sin with it's body. Otherwise it won't
be logical for the wise God to curse the serpent in the way He did it and not so with the
other beasts. Science can try all it wants to, and it won't find the missing link. God saw
to that. Man is smart and he can see an association of human with an animal. He tries to
prove it out of evolution. There isn't any evolution. Human did mingle with animal and it
is this only incidence that ever happened for God afterwards changed the whole anatomical
structure of the serpent. We will never have or find that serpent of Eden again. It is
gone. That is one of the mysteries of God that has remained hidden, but here it is
revealed.
The one who was formed in the
garden of Eden to the serpent through Satan and Eve was the 'serpent's seed' . It
was there first in the conception of Eve and it happened not outside the garden, but
inside the garden , and that is the reason for God to curse the 'conception' when He
cursed Eve . "Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy
conception ; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children " Gen 3 :16
Notice what God said to them in
the garden. ( Gen 3 : 15). If we give credit to the word of God that the woman did have a
seed ( woman's seed ), then the serpent must have surely had a seed also . If the 'woman's
seed ' was a man- child apart from the man, then the 'serpent's seed' must be born apart
from human male's intervention. We all know that the 'woman's seed ' was 'Christ' so that
the serpent's seed was the Anti-Christ. It was all prophesied by God in the garden of Eden
and both seeds were there.
In Luke 1 : 26-35 the detailed
account of the 'woman's seed' is given . "And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel
was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, to a virgin
espoused to a man whose name was
Joseph , of the house of David ; and the virgin's name was Mary. And the angel came in
unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured , the Lord is with thee : blessed
art thou among women . And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in
her mind what manner of salutation this should be. And the angel said unto her, Fear not,
Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb,
and bring forth a son, and shall call His name JESUS. He shall be great, and the Lord God
shall give unto Him the throne of His father David: And He shall reign over the house of
Jacob forever; and of His kingdom there shall be no end. Then said Mary unto the angel,
How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? And the angel answered and said unto her, The
Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall over shadow thee :
therefore also that Holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the son of God
" The 'woman's seed ' ,therefore ,literally God reproducing Himself in the human
flesh . The 'serpent's seed ' is the literal way that Satan found to open the door to
himself into the human race. Satan is CREATED spirit-being and so it is impossible
for Satan to reproduce himself in the manner which God reproduced Himself . The Genesis
account only tells us how he reproduced his seed and introduced himself into the human
race . Similar incident happened when Jesus was here on earth. He begged Him to send him
into the swines which Jesus did. Also recall that Satan is called the 'serpent '.
The names of the two trees given
in Genesis ' The Tree of Life' and 'The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil' have profound
meaning. They were in the midst of the garden side by side . The name of the second tree
was 'The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil' why it is named so? There was a knowledge
around that tree and that was an Evil one. It was a Carnal knowledge . The Bible always
called that knowledge as 'he knew' ,'he knew'. 'And Adam knew his wife '
Before Adam ever had carnal
knowledge of Eve, the serpent had that Knowledge ahead of him. And that one born of it was
CAIN. Cain was of that "WICKED ONE" ("And then shall that wicked
be revealed
.Even him whose coming is after the working of Satan " II
Thes 2 : 8-9). Read carefully I John 3 : 12 "Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one
". The Holy spirit could not in one place of the word of God call Adam as the
"wicked one ". Rather , in another place ,Adam is called ' the son of God 'which
he was by creation.(Luke 3 : 38)
LESSON-2
My beloved brothers and sisters
in Christ, you may be surprised to know, if you have read Lesson 1,my previous article,
that I wrote 'CAIN', the first man born on earth, the first murderer, is the Anti-Christ.
I don't think anyone is going to be born hereafter as the 'serpent's seed ' after the Eden
encounter. The Bible never tells that we cannot find who is the Anti-Christ but rather
speaks about his revelation to the world which will be sudden and subtle in
nature. (II
Thes 2 : 7,8) Again I write to you, this is not a fundamental doctrine truth but rather
out of love of the word of God, I want to share with you thoughts hidden for decades in my
Christian life. "Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the
beast: for it is the number of a man
"Rev 13 : 18.
Cain turned out in character like
his father, the devil, a bringer of death, a murderer . His utter defiance of God in Gen 4
:5 , 9, 13,14 shows him inhuman in character. The Word of God says in Gen 4 : 5, "But
unto Cain and to his offering He had no respect". God not only did not have
any respect for Cain's bloodless offering, but unto Cain as a person also. Jesus speaking
of the devil put it in a veiled way to indicate what happened in the beginning , "He
was a murderer from the beginning and abode not in truth, because there is
no truth in him" John 8 : 44. That is a summary of Cain. (though in a bigger way
about Cain's father ,the devil himself ). Devil when he was created as an anointed Cherub
was not a murderer from the beginning neither a liar in the beginning . It was Cain who
was the first murderer and the son of the devil who spoke not the truth about his
brother's death . That happened in the very beginning itself.
Notice the exact way the record
of God sets forth the account of the births of Cain, Abel and Seth. Gen 4 : 1 ,"And
Adam knew Eve his wife ; and she conceived and bare Cain ,and said I've gotten a
man from the Lord. And she again bare his brother Abel " Gen 4 : 25, "And
Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son and called his
Seth
".There were THREE sons born from Two acts of carnal knowledge by Adam.
Therefore , ONE of those three was not the son of Adam. Eve was carrying TWINS in the
first conception. According to medical science it is possible to carry twins who were of
separate ova and separate insemination with fertilization of eggs being days apart.
Why did this have to be so? Why
the seed of the serpent must come this way? This is because God alone could appear in
human flesh. Satan could not and cannot do that. Satan has no creative powers. And so how
could serpent's seed come? He needs a medium . God does not enter into animals .But Satan
had done before and is doing even now entering into animals. So he entered into the
serpent and then beguiled EVE. Then God had to destroy the pattern of that 'old serpent'.
No other beast can come and mingle with man. In the scripture wherever the 'old serpent '
is referred it always refers to the devil (Rev 12 : 9; Rev 20 : 2)
The fall of man was caused by
Satan using an animal medium. Animal had caused the fall. Let animal life be shed. So an
animal(Lamb) was taken and it's blood shed and then God had communion with man again.
There was to come a day when God would appear in flesh. God would shed His blood and
restore the fallen man. It was John the Baptist who said," Behold the Lamb of God
which taketh away the sin of the world" John 1 : 29. It was only to John the Baptist
it was revealed Jesus as the "Lamb of God ". Nobody else uses that term except
in the Apocalypse. An Animal was used by Satan to introduce 'sin' into the world and God
used another animal namely the 'Lamb' in the older times to restore temporary communion
with man. Finally He Himself came as the ' Lamb of God ' to remove 'sin' once for all
through His sacrifice.
And so those two sons were born
(Cain and Abel ). Gen 5 is the chapter of genealogy . The genealogy is as follows :
1. Adam
2. Seth
3. Enos
4. Cainan
5. Mahalaleel
6. Jared
7. Enoch
Notice that Cain is not
mentioned. If Cain was the son of Adam he should have been mentioned. Isn't it the word of
God perfect? The line of Adam goes through Seth. If Cain was the child of Adam, the law of
birth would have given Cain the right in the lineage. Also read Gen 5 : 3, "Adam
lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness ,after his image
,and called his name Seth". Nowhere does it say that Cain was in Adam's likeness and
image. Cain is missing my friend !
Lesson 3
Dear Brothers and Sisters in
Christ, I hope this research study is immensely beneficial to all of you . Again I want to
say this study is not a fundamental doctrinal truth but rather the one which would
captivate you if you are the lovers of the word of God.
Last time we referred to Gen 5 :
3 where it says that Seth , the third son of Adam, was in Adam's own likeness and
after his image. Nowhere the scripture says that Cain was in Adam's likeness. In the
geneologic record of Adam, Cain is missing which should not be according to the law of
birthright if Cain was the son of Adam. In fact in both genealogies in Genesis and Luke,
Cain is missing.
We may say that there are two
lines of man: one of which was the Godly line found in Seth and the other the ungodly line
as found in Cain. Even agreeing to that, we don't find Adam's name mentioned in the
ungodly line. It only says in Gen 4 : 16," And Cain went out from the presence of the
LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod
.And Cain knew his wife
." Further,
please let me know why Cain was the kind of person he was while Abel and Seth were of the
spiritual Godly line. Why? In fact Cain comes forth as totally wicked and violent and
withstands God and the word.
In Gen 3 : 20 the word of God
says, "And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of
all living" But no scripture says that Adam was the father of all living. It is
this fact, Cain, where Adam could not be the father of all living.
Someone is bound to ask,
"Did God tell Eve to watch out for the serpent or the serpent would seduce her?"
I would say that God simply gave the word. He said not to partake of that KNOWLEDGE. Don't
fool with that word. And what did that tree produce? The Tree of knowledge produced death.
Cain killed his brother, Abel. The wicked killed the righteous. It sets a pattern. The
Tree of knowledge produced clever men; men of renown. But their ways are the ways of
death.
You may say but Cain was
religious. He believed in God. It is true. More than the unbelievers and the atheists, the
Pharisees and the Sadducees, of Jesus day, it was the devil who believed in Jesus as the
Son of God. They mingle too with the godly. Remember, the devil is called 'the angel of
light'. The devil's fear of God is not a saving fear of God as Cain's fear of God was not
like that of Abel. They fear God only for His judgment and not fear Him and obey Him as
Lord and Master. If the devil fears to God in the proper way, then, the devil will obey to
what God has said. "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" Gen 3 :
3,4.
Adam was given the word to live
by. We too can live eternally if we do according to the word of God. Only Jesus lived
perfectly according to the word of God. His Name is also called the 'word' when attacked
by the devil He said " it is written ". He overcame by reflecting the word of
God.
Just as by the act of 'eating'
man lost his spiritual life, so by an act of 'eating' man now obtains spiritual and
eternal life! "whoso eateth My flesh, and drinketh My blood,hath eternal
life"(John 6 : 53, 54)
Cain was a hybrid. You know that
a hybrid is what comes of two species mixing. The result is no longer pure like the
original. When Eve allowed the serpent to seduce her, when Eve allowed the beast to mingle
his seed with hers, she produced a creature called Cain that was not pure human. He was of
the WICKED ONE. Notice how different Cain was from Abel. Notice how different Cain was
from Seth. He was angry with God and would not obey His word and correct his
mistakes." 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?" Gen 4 :5,6,7.But Cain never wanted to correct himself which is
the character of the devil. "And Cain talked with Abel his brother: when they were in
the field, Cain rose up against Abel his brother and slew him" Gen. 4 : 8.
Do you know the most famous
hybrid in the world? It is the Mule. It is a cross between a donkey and a horse.
Mule is a
domesticated, hybrid animal that results from crossing a mare (female horse) and a jack
(male donkey). A mule looks somewhat like both its parents. Mules are hardy and resist
disease well. Unfortunately, mules do not have offspring of their own, except in extreme
rare cases. Animals which cannot have offspring are said to be sterile. All male mules and
most female mules are sterile. Mules have strong muscles. They can be used as work
animals. In Exodus 13 : 13 the scripture says, "And every firstling of an ass thou
shalt redeem with a lamb; and if thou will not redeem it, then thou shalt break his neck;
and all the first born of man among thy children shalt thou redeem". The ass
can be redeemed. All the first born of man can definitely be redeemed. Every
sinner can be redeemed by the blood sacrifice of JESUS CHRIST. If the sinner rejects
CHRIST, the sinner will be rejected . But YOU CANNOT REDEEM THE MULE. There is no
redemption for him. And that is what happened to Cain, a resonance hybrid. God said,
" If thou does't not well, sin lieth at the door" Gen 4 : 7. Cain never repented
for his beastly act. On the contrary he said," Am I my brother's keeper" The
Mule cannot be redeemed. There is no blood for him. Cain's sacrifice was bloodless sacrifice.
The mule cannot be redeemed. The Mule hasn't the seed of life. It is dead. Watch the
Mule's nature. He is stubborn and cannot be trusted. The mule has no seed in him that can
be quickened but the ass has seed. Daniel saw a vision and writes," I saw in the
night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong
exceedingly;
..and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before
it" Dan 7 : 7. John says, " And the beast which I saw was unto a leopard ,and
his feet were like unto the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a
lion..
.." Rev 13 : 2- a hybrid! That is the Anti-Christ! When the word of God
is not obeyed it will lead up to murder. When the word is not followed, there is your
hybrid.
God has set laws in His universe.
A good seed can only bring good fruit and the evil seed can only bring evil fruit. Though
both the good and the evil seeds use the same earth, use the same nourishment, everything
will produce only after its own kind. Look at the Cain line. Look at the Seth line. When
they mingled as it is written in Gerib, hybrids were born , Nephilim or Giants were born.
And God saw everything was evil and it had represented the Lord that He had made man on
the earth. It was serpents seed that brought forth Cain. It was Adam's seed that brought
forth Abel and Seth. Those seeds went through the same process, but the children were
different for they were from different seeds.
You pervert the word, you reap
exactly what you injected. If you try to change the truth into a lie, you will breed a
Godless system of religion. This is what the Anti-Christ will try to do. He shall try to
change the laws and even speak against God of very gods and try to magnify himself and set
up his image in the temple. That is the Anti-Christ. The seed is different.
THAT IS THE "WAY OF
CAIN"
(Jude verse 11)
Lesson-4
Dear brothers and sisters in
Christ, we hope that you are carefully following the lessons on the 'first seed'. "It
is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honor of kings is to search out a
matter" Prov 25:2.
We want to show you something
immensely important which Bible scholars think as merely a typology and a Sunday school
story. It is the story of 'Noah' and it tells us what happened in the Garden of Eden
before. Details, which are not given in the first few chapters of 'Genesis', are given in
the story of 'Noah' in a detailed way.
""These are the
generations of Noah" (Gen 6:9). Here a new section of Genesis commences. This section
closes with the sad scene of Noah's drunkenness, the curse on his descendants and his
death (Gen 9:20-29). Readers, before going through this article, please read Genesis
chapter 6,7,8 & 9. Only when you understand the Noah's incident, you are going to
understand what happened in the beginning and the Eden truth.
"But Noah found grace in the
eyes of the Lord" (Gen 6:8). This is the first thing that is recorded about Noah.
'Grace' is the foundation of every life that is pleasing to God. It is here, in Gen 6:8,
the word 'grace' is seen for the first time in God's word. It was when the sin of the
creature had reached its climax that grace was exercised and displayed.
Remember that it is a new
beginning after the watery grave. God entered into a covenant with Noah. Then God blessed
Noah and his sons. Similarly in Eden, there was the new beginning. The earth was brought
out of darkness and the watery grave. God blessed Adam and Eve and put them in charge of
the creation. So the missing Eden links can be understood from the life of Noah. God
delivered all the lower orders of creation into Noah's hands as he did in Eden. God gave
Noah the authority and instituted human Government himself as he did it in Eden.
Now, what happened? Man fell in
sin. The very next thing that we read about Adam is that he fell in sin. The very next
thing that we read about Noah, "Noah began to be a husbandman, and he planted a
vineyard: and he drunk of the wine and was drunken and he was uncovered within his
tent" (Gen 9:20,21). Hebrew Bible scholars tell us that the Hebrew word here for
"uncovered" clearly indicates a deliberate act. This reminds us of what happened
in Eden. It was Eve who was deceived by the serpent. But Adam out of the love for Eve
deliberately ate the fruit that Eve gave!
Therefore, we believe, Genesis 9
brings before us the inauguration of a new beginning like Genesis 1. Careful comparison of
the two beginnings reveals the fact that there is extraordinary resemblance between Noah
and Adam.
RESEMBLANCE
BETWEEN ADAM AND NOAH
1. Adam was placed upon an
earth which came out of the "deep" and which had previous been dealt with by God
in Judgment (Gen 1:2). Similarly, Noah came forth onto an earth that just emerged from
the watery grave as a result of Divine judgment on sin.
2. Adam was made "Lord of
creation" (Gen 1:28). Similarly into the hands of Noah God delivered all things (Gen
9:2).
3. Adam was "blessed"
by God and to be "fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue
it" (Gen 1:28). Similarly Noah was "blessed" and told to be,
"fruitful, multiply and replenish the earth" (Gen 9:1) Notice the word
"subdue it" in Genesis 1 is not found in Genesis 9. This is because man has
fallen in sin. To subdue the earth, we need a saviour.
4. Adam was placed by God in a
Garden to "dress and to keep it" (Gen 2:15) similarly after the flood we find
Noah on a garden. Noah, "began to be a husbandman, and he planted a vineyard"
(Gen 9:20) Notice the word "VINEYARD', Specially mentioned. Similarly in Eden two
trees, the tree of Life and the tree of Knowledge of good and evil are specially mentioned
among others. Glory to God! Can God open our eyes to see the truth?
5. Inside the garden Adam
transgressed and fell by eating the fruit of the forbidden tree. Similarly Noah
transgressed and fell by eating the fruit of the vine. Here is wisdom! Brothers and
Sisters in Christ what is written now are amazing revelation of the Holy word of God. It
is for the Bible lovers whether it is accepted or not. In Eden there were two trees. One
the Tree of Life, otherwise is called the "choice vine". It is stated,
"Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass's colt unto the choice vine; he washed
his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes"(Gen 49: 11) This was
the blessing of Jacob to Judah, from whom our saviour came. In Eden there were two literal
trees; one was the 'choice vine' producing life and the other Tree of Knowledge of good
and evil, the vine of the Earth producing unconsciousness and drunkenness which lead to
death.
Therefore there were two literal
trees in the Garden of Eden. Both of them were Vine trees, one producing grape from the
CHOICE VINE or TRUE VINE and the other producing grapes from the EARTHLY VINE or FALSE
VINE. One lead to life and the other lead to death. That is why Jesus said, "I am the
true vine, and my Father is the husband man "John 15: 1. That is why the first
miracle he performed was in a marriage by turning water into wine. In other words,
symbolically Jesus showed man should have participated in the choice vine and not the
other Earthly vine. Jesus showed us that He came to make us participate in the blessed
tree, so my friend, The Two Trees that were present in the Garden of Eden were both grape
trees But one of them lead to life and the other lead to death.
See what happened after Adam and
Eve participated the grapefruits from False vine. They both went into a drunken and
unconscious state. At that time, the serpent seduced Eve and that was the reason for God
to curse Eve's conception. It all happened inside the garden not outside. Since the
Bible is the word of God, it gives a true picture of what happened in Eden. "And
the eyes of them both were opened and they knew that they were naked"
Gen 3: 7. They were in a drunken
state like Noah. When they came to their senses, that is, when their eyes were opened,
they saw they were naked. Previously they had no such feeling and knowledge. But now it
was different. You can ask me where is the choice vine now? God banned man so that he
should not taste the other life giving grapes and put Cherubim over there. Then during the
great flood, God removed every trace of that tree. My friend it is gone. God saw to that.
It is now in heaven, in paradise and the fruit will be given to overcomers only. But you
have a similar type of FALSE VINE available even now. How? Noah took part of it after the
flood and the result produced curse. People all over the world are participating leading
to drunkenness, murder, orgies, breaking of families and eventually death!
6. The Sin of Adam resulted in
the exposure of his nakedness (Gen 3: 7). Similarly, we read "And he(Noah) was
uncovered within his tent"(Gen 9 : 21)
7. Adam could not cover his
nakedness by himself. The fig leaf dresses were a poor substitute for his nakedness.
It had to be covered by another.
Since no one was there, God Himself covered him. "Unto Adam also and to his wife did
the Lord God make coats (kethoneth) of skins, and clothed them"(Gen 3: 21).
Similarly, Noah's nakedness was covered by his sons. (Gen 9: 23)
8. Adam's sin brought a terrible
curse on his posterity (Rom 5: 12). Similarly, Noah's sin brought a terrible sin on his
posterity. (Gen 9 : 24,25). Man became a slave to sin. Similarly Ham became a slave
of slaves.
(i). Almost immediately after
Adam's fall, a wonderful prophesy, the first prophecy in the word of God, was uttered by
God Himself. The first prophecy concerned about human redemption.Gen 3: 15. Similarly,
almost immediately after Noah's fall, a remarkable prophecy was uttered concerning the
human race.
My brothers and sisters in
Christ! This is the analogy between Adam and Noah. What is hidden in the first few
chapters of Genesis is told clearly in the following chapters from the life of Noah. There
were two grape trees in the midst of the Garden. That is why we are participating in the
bread and the wine till He comes. Satan has cleverly removed the 'wine' from some
churches. Removing the 'wine' means no life and that is why Jesus said,'if you don't
participate you have no part with Me'.
Lesson 5
"No one must lightly dismiss
the question of race, it is the key to world history
Language and religion do not
make a race, only blood does that" Benjamin.
Dear Brothers and Sisters in
Christ we have now come to a most important and interesting part of our study in 'the
first seed'. When we can clearly and rightly divide the word of God with the help of the
Holy Spirit every puzzle will fall in the right place. You might have noticed from our
last study, Lesson 4, that what happened in Eden and what happened after the deluge is
similar and the starting point of a new beginning. Details of the Eden encounter that are
hidden are revealed in Noahic encounter. Let us pursue our study once more prayerfully.
Genesis 10 is a prophecy and can
be called as a chapter on the "Table of Nations" which is neglected chapter and
scarcely studied. Unless we understand properly Genesis 10,we are not going to understand
the edenic encounter and the following events and the presence of the 'Nephilims' or
giants after the flood. There were giants before the Flood and after. What is the
meaning of the 'Sons of God mingled with the Daughters of men and giants were born'? These
and other related questions that were not addressed properly should be understood in the
light of the Word of God for a proper understanding of the scriptures. In the beginning
you may not agree with us but we want to place certain facts which may enlighten you as we
go on. Again please note that this is only a research study for interested parties who
love the word and is not an essential belief.
Genesis 10, the "Table of
Nations", begins with Noah and possibly his eldest son Japheth. Genesis 10
begins as, "Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham and
Japheth" (Gen 10:1). In "Philology" the science of structure and
development of languages the three are called as follows:
SHEM
SEMITIC
HAM
TURANIAN
And JAPHETH
ARYAN.
These are the three parent groups
of languages and peoples. Let us study each one of them briefly.
JAPHETH: Japheth literally
means "opened" or "expanded" or "enlarged". His descendents
settled all over Europe and the greater part of Asia. Japheth never expanded to Far East.
History has recorded Japheth's
geographical enlargement. The entire Western Hemisphere of our earth is settled by
Japhetic peoples. A considerable portion of the Asian continent is also settled by
Japhetic peoples.
Japheth was the eldest son
of Noah. The prophesy of God through Noah predicted that "God shall enlarge Japheth,
and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem" Gen 9: 27. Two things are predicted here
i) he should be enlarged;
ii) he should dwell in the tents
of Shem or should receive the blessing from Shem.
History proves the accuracy of
this prophecy. Those nations which have been most enlarged by God have descended from
Japheth (e.g. the Indians, Greeks and the Romans)
"And he shall dwell in the
tents of Shem" intimates that Japheth was to be Shem's guest. How remarkably this
prophecy has been fulfilled! The Old Testament was written in Hebrew, a Semitic language.
But the New Testament was written in a Japhetic tongue, namely the Greek. But it was
penned by Jewish fingers. Thus we see Japheth dwelling in the tents of Shem".
Genesis 10 begins with Noah and
his eldest son Japheth. Seven sons of Japheth are mentioned.
GOMER |
MAGOG |
MADAI |
JAVAN |
TUBAL |
MESHECH |
TIRAS |
GOMER: The eldest son of
Japheth, literally means 'perfect' or 'completion'. He is the progenitor of the early
Cimmerians and other branches of the celtic family. He settled in Eastern Europe near the
Black Sea. He became
theGauls/French,Gaels/scots,Celts/Irish,Goths/Germans/Scandinavians,Saxons/Britons/Welsh,Dutch,
Armenians, Romans and related groups.
MAGOG: The second son of
Japheth, means "overtopping" or "covering". He settled first in
Georgia, a region between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea south of Caucasus Mountains.
He became the Scythians, Russians, Belorussians and Ukrainians.
MADAI: The third son of
Japheth means "middle land". He settled in north west of Persia (now Iraq),
southwest of Caspian Sea, east of Armenia and Assyria, and in the north part of Iran. He
is the father of Medes and East Indians.
JAVAN: The fourth son of
Japheth, means "effervescing" or "bubbling". His sons settled in
Cyprus, Rhodes, and other islands and coasts of the Mediterranean and the coast of Spain,
Italy and Portugal. He is the father of Ionians and the Greeks.
TUBAL: The fifth son of
Japheth, means, "thou shalt be led". In the Assyrian inscriptions the name
appears as 'Tabal' or 'Tubla'. The city of Tobolsk was named after him. He settled near
Cappadocia in Asia Minor. He is the father of Bulgarians, Hungarians, Albanians, Romanians
and other related groups.
MESHECH: The sixth son of
Japheth means,"led along". The city of Moscow (Muskovi) is named after him.
Meshech and Tubal are always coupled in the Old Testament. He settled initially in
northern Turkey south east of the Caspian Sea. He is the father of the Poles, Finns,
Slovaks (Czechs, Yugoslavs) and related groups.
TIRAS: The seventh son or
the youngest son of Japheth means, "desire". He settled around the Aegean Sea.
He is the father of Thracians, maritime groups and possibly the Etruscans of Italy.
These were the seven sons of
Japheth. An understanding of them is going to help us in our meditation on the 'first
seed'.
"And the sons of Gomer:
Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah" Gen 10: 3
ASHKENAZ: The first son of
Gomer means, "spreading fire". He settled first in Armenia migrating thence to
Bithynia, the northern islands of Europe and European West Coast: Germany, Scandinavia and
Denmark.
RIPHATH: The second son of
Gomer means,"slander" or "fault". He settled in Czechoslovakia,
Romania and Turkey.
TOGARMAH: The youngest son
of Gomer, means "thou wilt break her". His descendants became a people engaged
in agriculture, breeding horses and mules. They were also a military people, well skilled
in the use of arms. He is settled in Armenia.
"And the sons of Javan;
Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim and DoDanim" Gen 10: 4
ELISHAH: The eldest son of
Javan, meaning 'God is salvation'. The Greek translation of that name is
"Hellas". His descendants settled in Greece.
TARSHISH: The second son
of Javan, meaning, "She will shatter ". He settled in Spain.
KITTIM: Kittim or Chittim
was the third son of Javan, meaning, "bruisers". Kittim settled in Cyprus, other
Mediterranean islands and Macedonia.
DODANIM: The fourth son of
Javan, meaning "leaders". He settled in Rhodes.
These were the children and grand
children of Japheth through which all the non-semitic races originated.
The tenth chapter of Genesis is
the oldest Table of Nations in existence. It is a completely authentic statement of how
the present world population originated and spread after the flood in three families
headed by Shem, Ham and Japheth (Gen 10: 32). Parentage determines not only individual but
also national character.
Japheth means "opened"
or "enlarged". His enlargement, both spiritual and material, stemmed from his
baptism into Christ. After Israel was cut-off through unbelief, Japheth succeeded to what
Shem had rejected. "When Peter was speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all
who were listening to the word." Acts 10: 44
The Japhethites are the true
Caucasians, and the Indo-Europeans, a related family of people who are mainly denominated
by their languages. Though initially the Japhethites were barbarians and Gentiles their
virtue comes from the "root" even our Lord JESUS CHRIST.
NOTE TO THE READERS:

Ham, which will help us to understand the Eden mystery)
LESSON-6
"WHO CONTROLS THE PAST
CONTROLS THE FUTURE" - GEORGE ORWELL
Dear Brothers and Sisters in
Christ, let us go further into the "Table of Nations"- Genesis 10, to understand
the Edenic Mystery. In the last study we were able to look into Japhethites. Now let us
study about Shem the blessed son of Noah.
SHEM: Shem was possibly the
second son of Noah. The meaning of Shem is "Name" or "reknown". His
descendents are called the "Shemites". The Shemites are not difficult to
identify and included the twelve tribes of Israel descended from Abraham, Isaac and Jacob,
the Arabs, the Lydians who settled in the Asia Minor, the Lebanese, Syrians, Kurds and
Iranians, Jordanians (Moabites), the Assyrians of the northern Iraq and the Chaldeans of
the southern Iraq.
Therefore it appears that most of
the descendants of Shem settled in the Arabian Peninsula. The contribution of Shem has
been real in SPIRIT. The inspired word of God was written by Jewish fingers only.

JOKTAN -> ALMODAD and 12
others

ABRAM
Shem, the second son of
Noah, had five sons after the Flood. We are not going to study elaborately about the
Shemites since the Shemites are so familiar to us. "Blessed be the Lord god of
Shem" Gen 9: 26. The reward of Shem was in the religious privileges. "Lord God
of Shem" that is the divine title employed. God was to enter into the covenant
relationship with the children of Shem. That realization caused Noah to break forth into
thanksgiving-"Blessed be the Lord God of Shem"
ELAM: This was Shem's eldest son,
meaning, "highlands" or "eternity". He settled east of Babylon and
northeast of lower Tigris and north of Persia. He is the father of Kurds and the Iranians.
ASSHUR: The second son of Shem,
meaning, "happy" or "blessed" or "successful". He is the
ancestor of the Assyrians or the northern Iraqis.
ARPHAXAD: The third son of Shem,
meaning, "he cursed the breast". He was the most important man as we are
concerned being the ancestor of the Hebrews (Israelites), Arabians, Amorites, the
ancestor of Chaldeans of southern Iraq, and the Moabites/Jordanians. (See the chart
before).
LUD: The fourth son of Shem,
meaning, "firebrand" or "travailing". He is the ancestor of the
Lydians who settled in west of Asia Minor. The Lydians spoke an Indo-European language.
ARAM: The fifth or the youngest
son of Shem, meaning, "high ground". He became the Armaeans or Syrians and
Lebanese.
UZ: The eldest son of Aram,
meaning "counsel". It was the land of Uz which was the land of Job (Job 1: 1) It
seems most likely the area between Babylon and Edom and supposed to be a
"wooded" country.
EBER: He was the grandson of
Arphaxad and 'Eber' means "the region beyond". We mentioned 'Eber' because he
was the father of Hebrews. In Luke 3, Eber is mentioned as Heber.
PELEG: The word 'Peleg' comes
from the root word 'palag' which means 'division' or 'to split'. After the flood, it was
during the time of Peleg the earth was divided by tongues.
JOKTAN: He was the son of Eber.
Joktan means 'small' of 'insignificant'. Joktan is very important because he is the
progenitor of thirteen southern Arabic tribes. Among the southern Joktanic Arabic tribes
there are two divisions:
JOKTAN (Southern Arabic
tribes)
-> Semitic Arabs (pure
descendents of Joktan)
->Hamitic Arabs or Mustarabs
(Pretended Arabs or mixed Arabic race)

All these were the
descendants of Joktan (Gen. 10: 26-30)
ALMODAD: The name means,
"not measured". He settled in Yemen.
SHELEPH: The meaning of the name
is "drawing out". He became an Yemeni tribe.
HAZARMAVETH: The meaning is
"village of death". He settled in southeast Arabia.
JERAH: The fourth son of Joktan,
meaning "new moon". He settled in southeast Arabia.
HADORAM: The fifth son of Joktan,
meaning, "noble honor". He dwelt in Southern Arabia.
UZAL: The sixth son of Joktan,
meaning, "wandering". He dwelt in Yemen.
DIKLAH: The seventh son of
Joktan, meaning, "palm grove". His descendants settled in the northeastern
extremity of the Arabian Peninsula.
OBAL: The eight son of Joktan,
meaning, "stripped bare" or "bare mountain". In Chronicles his name is
written as 'Ebal'. He became an Yemeni tribe.
ABIMAEL: The Ninth son of Joktan,
means, "my father is God". He became a Yemeni tribe.
SHEBA: The tenth son of Joktan,
meaning, "seven" or "oath". He became a Yemeni tribe. The 'Sabeans'
belonged to the same tribe of 'Sheba'.
OPHIR: The eleventh son of
Joktan, meaning, "reducing to ashes". He dwelt on the coast of southwest Arabia.
HAVILAH: The twelfth son of
Joktan means, "sandy". He occupied the Eastern Shore of the Gulf of Aquaba.
JOBAB: The thirteen or the youngest son of Joktan, which means, "desert". He
settled close to Mecca.
These were the sons of Joktan
from whom some of the Arabic tribes came.
Lesson-7
" These are the families
of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the
nations divided in the earth after the flood" Genesis 10: 32.
Dear Brothers and Sisters in
Christ, we have now come to a very important point in our research study, 'The first
seed'. If we could really understand we can find answer to a lot of puzzling questions in
the scriptures.
We are going to consider now
'HAM' the third son of Noah, and we are going to see how again the giants were
found after the deluge and the reason for 'CANNAN', the son of Ham to be cursed by Noah.
Please keep an open mind and follow us through the mysteries in the early chapters of
Genesis.
HAM: The youngest son
of Noah was called 'HAM'. HAM means 'hot-blooded' or 'passionate'. Explosives, medical
techniques, mechanical principles, food, the use of electricity, virtually anything
technological in nature- leads us to Hamitic people. Ham contributed towards the
development of civilization in its more material aspects. This is how the three children
of Noah contributed to the human civilization.
The contribution of SHEM
has been in the realm of SPIRIT. The Semites fingers especially the Hebrew fingers
wrote the Word of God and to them God revealed His purposes.
The contribution of JAPHETH has
been in the realm of THOUGHT. The Japhites were great thinkers or philosophers.
When the Japhethites combined with the Semites, theology emerged. When the
Japhethites combined with the Hamites Science emerged.
Japhethites + Semites ® THEOLOGY
Japhethites + Hamites® Science
Semites + Hamites ® Giants
(Nephilims)
The contribution of HAM
has been primarily PHYSICAL or PRACTICAL. Out of HAM have been derived most of the
so-called colored races- Yellow, red, brown and black- the Mongoloid and the Negroid.
HAM literally means
"warm" or "passionate". Ham first established himself in Africa; more
particularly in Egypt.
"And smote all the first
born in Egypt: the chief of their strength in the tabernacle of Ham:" Psalms 78: 51
"Israel also came into
Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham" Psalm 105: 23
"Wondrous works in the land
of Ham, and terrible things by the Red Sea" Psalms 106: 22.
The three most illustrious
Hamitic nations- the cushites, the Phoenicians (cananites) and the Egyptians- were greatly
mixed with foreign peoples. However, Ham's descendants were the first people to emigrate
to the islands and the Americas (Red Indians). Therefore, not only in Africa with the
black races, but the Far East, the Americas, and other island nations with their colored
races were all the descendants of Ham. Hamitic people were the first to reach the
far and distant lands. "And afterwards were the families of the Cannanites spread
abroad "Genesis 10: 18
Religiously Ham gained
prominence. Scripture identifies it with Satan completely which we will be discussed later
on. Ham's religion is the basis for every system of the idolatry, mythology. The only
difference is the names of the various gods but the theme is the same.
HAM -> CUSH, MIZRAIM, PHUT,
CANAAN
CUSH: The name Cush means
'black'. The color 'black' may stand as a metaphor for 'wickedness' or 'terror'. Cush
settled first in Shinar (Babylon), then South Arabia, and moved to South Egypt, Sudan and
northern Ethiopia.
Now 'Cush' was called 'Bel', the
chief god of Babylon (Isa 46: 1; Jer 50: 2; Jer 51: 44). In the Egyptian culture 'Bel' was
called 'Hermes'. According to history 'Hermes' was also called as 'Mercury'. (Read Acts
14: 11-12)
Therefore, 'Cush' was deified;
that is, men were deified by men. 'Cush' was the father of such polytheistic system and
'Cush' purported to bring revelations and interpretations from the gods to the people.
'Bel' was called by many names such as 'Baal','Belus', 'Hermes', 'Janus', 'Chaos',
'Mercury' etc. among the ancient peoples.
"And Cush begat Nimrod"
(Gen 10: 8). 'Nimrod' literally means 'the rebel'. He was the one who was responsible for
the Great Rebellion at Babel and founding the very features of paganism by introducing
magic, astrology and human sacrifice.
When Nimrod died, his wife
'Semiramis' deified him and made herself as the 'mother of the son' and also the 'mother
of the gods'. Thus crept the mother and son worship in the church. Mary was deified
without sin and called 'the Mother of God'. The church forgot the Word of God 'Mary was
overshadowed by the Holy Spirit' and thus was kept 'holy'. She became the 'mother of other
children through Joseph later on.
Now, 'Semiramis' called Nimrod as
'Zeroashta' which means 'the woman's seed' and thus Satan tried to confuse the fake seed
with the real seed.
After Nimrod's death, Semiramis
is said to have ruled 42 years his kingdom. In the process she was able to conquer Persia,
Libya and Ethiopia but was unable to conquer India alone.
"And the sons of Cush: Seba,
and Havilah, and Sabtah and Raamah, and Sabtecha" Gen 10:7
SEBA: He was the first
born of 'Cush'. His name means, "drink up". Some render him as the founder of
the nation of the 'Sabeans' which is Yemen. Some consider him settled between the Nile and
its affluent the Atbara. Some consider him settled in the heart of Africa.
HAVILAH: The name means,
"Sandy". He settled on the eastern coast of northern Arabia near present day
KUWAIT.
SABTAH: The name means,
"compassing the mark". He settled in the eastern coast of Southern Arabia.
RAAMAH: The name means
"thunder" He settled on the east coast of Southern Arabia, possibly the present
day OMAN.
SABTECHAH: The name means,
"striking". He settled in YEMEN. "And the sons of Raamah : Sheba and
Dedan" (Gen 10: 7)
SHEBA: The name means
"an oath". He settled north of Yemen in a fertile land.
DEDAN: the name means
"low country". He settled in the United Arab Emirates in the Persian Gulf.
That would make the descendants
of 'Cush' the son of 'Ham'.
Now, let us go to the second son
of Ham namely, 'Mizraim'.
MIZRAIM: The name is a
plural word meaning, "the two Mazors" or "forts" and indicates the
culture and division of his people into upper and lower Egypt where he settled in North
Africa.
"And Mizraim begat Ludim,
and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, and Pathrusim, and Casluhim(out of whom came
Philistim) and Caphtorim." Gen 10: 13,14
LUDIM: The name literally
means "firebrand". They settled in Libya on the northern coast of Africa.
ANAMIM: The name means
"affliction of the waters". They settled in the Nile delta.
LEHABIM: The name means
"flames". They settled in Libya.
NAPHTUHIM: The name means
"openings". This people are known to have settled in the Nile Delta.
PATHRUSIM: The name means
"moistened morsel". They settled in 'Pathros' in Upper Egypt.
CASLUHIM: The name means,
"forgiven ones". They are the 'Colchihans' of the Egyptian town 'Chemnis',
'Panoplis' in northern Egypt. The 'philistim' came from them.
PHILISTIM: The name means
'immigrants'. These people so called 'Philistines' migrated from Upper Egypt and
occupied the lower part of the Mediterranean coast belonging to Shem.
CAPHTORIM: The name means
"knob" or "bud". They also migrated from Upper Egypt to the lower part
of the Mediterranean coast belonging to Shem. And mingled with the Philistines and are
called as the 'Philistines'.
These are the descendants of
Mizraim the second son of 'Ham'
PHUT: He was the third son
of Ham. The name means "a bow". The name is found in the list of the sons of Ham
in Gen 10:6 and I Chron 1:8. His sons settled in Libya and are called the 'Cyrenaeans' and
North Africans. "And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, the father of
Alexander and Rufus to bear His cross" Mark 15: 21. So it was the Cyrenian Simon who
helped JESUS to carry the cross. They were the "archers". (Jer 46: 9)
NOTE: The serpents seed
can be traced through the fourth son of Ham namely 'Cannan'. Plese read the next
lesson.
Lesson-8
"
. Cursed be Cannan; a
servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren " Gen 9: 25
"There were giants in
the earth in those days; and also After that
.the same became
mighty men which were of old, men of renown" Gen 6:4
Dear Brothers and Sisters in
Christ, we WISH YOU ALL A VERY BLESSED AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR. It is going to be an
eventful year especially for the believers. Preaching the Gospel is not going to be easy
all over the world and especially in India. Political situation in India is going to
change in an unexpected manner since our Lord's coming is very imminent. "Even the
very Elect will be deceived" says the word of God. Be watchful and prayerful. We
request your continued prayers and support in this New Year. God bless you.
We have come to an important
section in understanding the word of God. Again, I write to you humbly, that it is only a research
study and not a fundamental doctrinal truth. But I believe a right understanding of
the word of God will help you a long way. "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a
workman that needeth not be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth" II Tim 2:15
Many questions arise in our minds
as to why there were Giants (Nephilims) before and after the flood?
What is the meaning of 'strange flesh'? Can the 'Angels of God' cohibit with the humans?
Why Noah after the flood cursed Cannan who was the son of Ham and not the other
children of Ham? Why God asked the Israelites, His chosen people, not to mingle with the
Cannanites? From where came Goliath, the giant who was destroyed by David? And so on. I
believe we are nearing the answers to all our questions and if we study with an open mind
the word if God together, we may reach our destination.
In our last three articles, we
studied, the "TABLE OF NATIONS" which all came through the three children of
Noah, namely, 'Shem, Ham, Japheth'. As there was a beginning in Eden, so, there was
another beginning after the flood with Noah's family. So the events recorded after the
flood describe to what happened in Eden before. Now God cursed the 'conception ' when he
cursed Eve, the mother of all living. The serpent's seed was conceived in Eden when they
participated the false vine and were drunk and naked. When Satan seduced Eve and injected
his seed through the serpent. That was Cain and he is the son of Satan. That is why God
changed the anatomy (structure) of the serpent so that it may never happen again.
So Cain's descendants were the children of the serpents seed. That was the reason for 'giants'
before the flood when Cain's seed mingled with the Adam's true seed. Now, in Gen 6:4 it is
written, "There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that,
when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to
them" commonly it is believed that 'sons of god' mean 'Angels' because of some
passages like in the book of Job where it is written, "When the morning stars
sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy?" (Job 38: 7) That is
true and what is said in Job was spoken by God Himself about the creation of the EARTH. At
that time there was no sin in heaven, and the sons of God that is angels by creation where
the 'sons of God' (like Adam was called the 'Son of God' by creation). They were all holy
and without sin and they were created to praise and glorify the Lord which they did in the
beginning. After that sin entered through 'Satan' who was called a 'morning star' and
leader of all the 'morning stars' when he rebelled against God and fell from his original
exalted position, took with him a third part of the heavenly host and became an enemy of
God. Now, the term 'sons of god' may mean holy or evil angels, which were
all, created by God. So what you read in Gen 6 : 4 must mean the mingling of descendants
of the evil angels and the descendants of pure Adamic race ('daughters of men').
In other words, the descendants of the evil angels, were the Cain's races. When the
Cain's race mixed with the pure Adamic race, giants were born (abnormality). That
is why the bible calls the antichrist as a 'composite Beast', a 'beast' which
cannot be described in human language. Now, the first man born, Cain, was a 'beast'
because he was born to the 'beast' (serpent) so called because it was originally a
different creature, and to 'Eve', the one made by the hand of God. Afterwards, such a
mingling was not possible because God changed the structure of the serpent. Now, evil
Angels cannot directly cohibit with daughters of men. They need a MEDIUM.
That is why Satan spoke to Eve through the medium, the serpent. Satan or his followers,
the evil angels, cannot reproduce as God did by the power of the Holy Ghost. They are all
created beings and they have no creative powers of their own. ONLY GOD
CAN CREATE. That is why Satan needed medium and seduced Eve. When God saw that, God
put a stop to that evil by changing the form of the serpent. Now it is not possible at
all. That is why Gen 6: 4 is not speaking of Angels mingling with daughters of men
where giants were born. Angels are spirit beings and humans are fleshly. How they
can mingle? They need an intermedium. That intermedium was Cain's descendants or the
serpent's seed.
Now, God saw everything
was wicked and wanted to destroy the earth. But Noah found grace in the eyes of the
Lord. He and his family were only saved. Now, how the 'giants' came after
the flood? The flood destroyed everyone of them? How could it happen again? Where was the
serpent's seed during the Flood and after that? My friend, please read the next
lesson for the continuation of the serpent's seed after the Flood?
Lesson-9
" I will put enmity between
thy seed and the seed of the woman" Gen 3:15
The tenth chapter of Genesis is
the Oldest table of nations in existence. It is completely authentic statement of how the
present world population originated and spread after the Flood in three families headed by
Shem, Ham and Japheth.
Why among all the four children
of Ham, Canan the fourth one should be cursed? What is the reason? It is because exactly
what happened in Eden was repeated after the Flood? Like Cain was not the son of Adam,
Canan was not born to Ham's real wife but to Noah's wife after they were drunk in the
vineyard which Noah planted. The story is this. Noah's first wife who was the mother of
Shem, Ham and Japheth died before the Flood. The woman or the wife of Noah who was in the
ark during the Flood and after that was Naamah, his second wife. Naamah belonged to the
cursed race of Cain. "The sister of Tubal-Cain was Naamah" Gen4: 22.
Incidentally the Bible mentions the names of only four women before the Flood. They were
EVE
ADAH
ZILLAH and
NAAMAH
And you can see all of them come
under the descendancy of Cain. Of course, Eve, being the mother of all living. Here is the
mingling of the serpent's seed with the human race. Why these four women names should be
mentioned? The Bible doesn't mention anything without a valid reason.
I have with me a copy of the
'Book of Jasher' which has been referred to in Joshua and in second Samuel. I don't know
how far the book I have is authentic but the 'Book of Jasher' is certainly a book to be
noted since the word of God mentions it. The 'Book of Jasher' is a public record (public
register) in those days to note down important events and notable incidents that happened
in the history of mankind. This has 91 chapters and is said to be faithfully translated in
1840 from the original Hebrew to English. This has been updated in February 21, 2000 and
published by J.H.Parry & Co; salt Lake City.
Now the Bible says, "This is
the book of the generations of Adam, in the day that God created man, in the likeness of
God made he him" Gen5: 1 Then, it goes on to describe the descendants of SETH, the
son of Adam, who was born after Abel was murdered by Cain.
ADAM® SETH® ENOS® CAINAN®
Mahalaleel
. Now, in the Book of Jasher, in the second chapter, a little more
explanation is given of that Adamic race. It may help us all the way to understand the
mingling of pure Adamic race and Cain's serpent race before the Flood which made to
destroy all except Noah's family through the flood. Now, it is only a Bible research study
and if you don't wont to believe doesn't matter but think for a moment before dropping
this littlework which may help you to understand many things later on which happened and
mentioned in the scriptures.
I am quoting from the second
chapter of the book of Jasher. " And Enos lived Ninety years and he begat Cainan; And
Cainan grew up and he was forty years old, and he became wise and he had knowledge and
skill in all wisdom
.for Cainan was a very wise man and had understanding in all
wisdom, and with his wisdom he ruled over spirits and demons; And Cainan knew by his
wisdom that God would destroy men for having sinned upon earth, and that the Lord would
bring the waters of the flood.
And when Cainan was seventy years old he begat three
sons and daughters" Gen 5: 13) And these are the names of the children of Cainan; the
name of the first born Mahalaleel, the second Enan, and the third Mered, and their sisters
were Adah and Zillah; these are the five children of Cainan that were born to him.
And Lamech, (Cain's race, refer
Gen 4:18-24) the son of Methusael, became related to Cainan by marriage, and he took his
two daughters for his wives, and Adah conceived and bare a son to Lamech, and she called
his name Jabal. And she again conceived and bare a son and called his name Jubal; and
Zillah her sister was barren in those days and had no offspring.
. And in the end of
days and years, when Zillah became old, the Lord opened her womb. And she conceived and
bare a son and she called his name Tubal Cain
. And she conceived again and bare a
daughter and she called her name Naamah" (Book of Jasher 2nd chapter
versus 10 to 25). Thus there was the mingling of the pure Adamic race with Cain's race
even before Enoch's time.
CAINAN + LAMECH(Cain's
race) ®
JABAL, JUBAL, TUBAL CAIN and
NAAMAH(daughter of Zillah)
CAINAN -> ADAH, ZILLAH(pure
Adamic race)
This Naamah was in the ark.
Therefore, the serpent's seed was in the ark being the second wife of Noah. That is how
the giants came after the flood.
Now, Noah and his wife, Naamah,
became drunk, after sometime after the flood. By that time Ham had three children 'Cush,
Mizram and Phut'. How long after the flood we cannot say but it was certainly within a
short period. That time Cannan was not born to HAM. When Noah and his wife Naamah were
drunk, Ham saw the nakedness of his father's beautiful wife. (LEV 18:8) To uncover the
nakedness of father's wife is uncovering the nakedness of father according to Lev 18:8 and
I think the story of Eden was repeated. Once Noah was awake, he understood what Ham had
done, and cursed the conception that was Canan. As God cursed the conception of Eve
because Satan's seed was injected, similarly Satan's seed was injected in Canan.
So not all of Ham's descendants
were involved in the curse, only Canan and his descendants.
HAM + NAAMAH ® CANAN
(Noah's son pure (Cain's race)
(serpent's seed propagation)
Adamic race)
Noah did not after become the
father of any child after the flood. Naamah was not the mother of Shem, Ham and Japheth.
She was the mother of 'Canan' only and that was the reason for cursing Canan and the
Cananites.
Ham's curse fell upon Canan. Noah
could not abort his wife's birth for he knew "if slaying Cain brought a sevenfold
vengence, truly slaying Canan might bring seventy times sevenfold punishment" (Gen 4:
22-24) So Noah could only curse Canan.
That was the reason for God to
instruct Moses and the children of Israel to destroy all the Cananites. We begin to
understand why Cain and his children, including Canan and his descendants, were doubly
cursed in conception and in their lineage. "Twice dead, plucked up by the
roots"(Jude 11-12) God separated Shem as his portion, to be the holy nation
interceding for the gentiles of Japheth and Ham. God always separates the sacred from the
profane.
Canan was cursed and scattered,
and the land he had occupied and cultivated was covenanted by God to Israel. (Gen12: 1-7)
In the natural Cananites were God's enemies. In the spiritual, Cananites means the 'old
man'. God destroys the works of the Devil.
"There were giants in the
earth in those days before the flood (the children of Cain); and also after the flood (the
children of Canan)" Our English Bibles render "Nephilim" as
"giants". The word comes from Hebrew "Naphal" which means, "to
fall" hence "the fallen ones " the descendants of Cain. Afterwards the term
is transferred to their offspring. The only other passage the word "Nephilim"
occurs is Numbers 13: 32-33.
Canan receives his first biblical
definition in the Table of nations as the father of Sidon and Heth, of the Jebusites,
Amorites, Girgasites, Hivites, Arkites, Sinites, Arvadites, Zemarites, and the Hamathites.
The five names following Sidon were the inhabitants of the promised Land (Exod 13:5)
LESSON-10
Dear Brother and Sisters in
Christ! Now, we understand how giants were born before the flood. That was because
of the mingling of Cain's seed (the serpent's seed) with pure Adamic race. After
the Flood it was the mingling of the Cananites (serpent's seed born to Ham and Noah's
second wife) with pure Adamic race, giants were born. Now, God eliminated all the giants
after the Flood through Israelites (His chosen seed) and through His chosen person like
Samson, David etc. Canan was Noah's "secret", like Cain was Adam's
"secret". And Noah fathered no children after the flood and the Lord did
not talk to Noah for 350 years after the flood till Noah's death because there is no
recorded communication between Noah and God after the flood. Like the serpent's seed God
had destroyed in the Flood, and those He would instruct Moses and the children of Israel
to destroy when encountered in the Promised Land. Being a prophet, Noah foresaw the future
and he cursed Canan to be a "servant of servants" a term meaning "lowest of
the low" as God had cursed his forefather, the serpent. Like Cain, Canan would try to
usurp the dominion of God gave Adam and over his kin over this world.
Under the law, the token of
covenant was circumcision. A bastard such as Moab or Ben-ami even in the righteous line of
Lot, would not be circumcised by the priest, permitted to marry an Israelite woman or be
buried with his people. Therefore he was excluded from the covenant. Canan was also cursed
and also scattered and the land he had occupied and cultivated (as a servant of servants)
was covenanted by God to Israel (Gen 12:1-17; 15:13-21; 17:7-8)
Numbers 21:1-3 "And when the
king of Arad, the Cananite, who dwelt in the south learned Israel came via Atharim, the
way of the spies; he fought against them, taking prisoners. And Israel vowed to the Lord
that if He would deliver the king and his people, they would utterly destroy their cities.
And the Lord heeded their
supplication, defeating the Cananites; and Israel utterly destroyed them and their cities:
and God called the name of the place Hormah"(devoted or dedicated)
Devoting something to God for
utter destruction as a sacrifice is demanded by His Holiness such was a destruction of
Canan (Numbers 21:1-3; 21-35; Deut 2:32, 3:6) king Saul of Israel made his fatal mistake
when he spared the life of Agag, king of the Amalekites and kept alive the best of their
livestock. God instructed them to utterly slay off the Cananites but to save the kindred
of Adam's race. (Deut 20:10-18) Israel failed to worship God and preserved the Cananites
alive. That is why they are under trouble even to-day.
"And it shall come to pass,
that in the new heavens and new earth, "the saved" of all the nations which came
against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the king, the Lord of Hosts,
and to celebrate the ingathering
And in that day there shall be no more a
Cananite in the house of the Lord"(Zech 14: 16,20-21)
The Cananites so were cursed
because of their origin. Thus the serpent's seed propagated through Canan after the Flood.
Therefore God exterminated the Cananites through the Israelites. Therefore God said to the
Israelites, "When the Lord thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest
to possess it, and cast out many nations before thee, the Hitites, and the Girgashites and
the Amorites, and the Cannanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites,
seven nations greater and mightier than thou; and when the Lord thy God shall deliver them
before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no
covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them. (Deut 7:1,2) Why should the
Lord be so angry with the Cananites? Are they not his created people? No. Because of the
serpent's seed the Lord has nothing to do with them.
"Thou shalt not bow down to
their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow
them, and quite break down their images" Exod 23:24
The chief Cananite god in the
biblical times was Baal. His wife was Ashtarat, goddess of battle. As weather god, Baal
held the key to good harvests. That is why prophet Elijah challenged Baal on Mt.Carmel and
won the victory. But Israel went woring after Baal and made covenant with Jebusites that
God could completely fulfill His plan with them. And so He sent His servant like David to
utterly destroy them.
There was an interesting incident
that happened in the life of Jesus when He was here on earth "Jesus went thence, and
departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. And behold a woman of Canan came out of the
same coasts, and cried unto Him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord; thou son of David; my
daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
But He answered her not a word.
And His disciples came and besought Him, saying, send her away; for she crieth after us.
But He answered and said, I am
not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Then came she and worshiped him,
saying, Lord, help me. But He answered and said, it is not meet to take the children's
bread, and to cast it to dogs.
And she said, Truth, Lord:
Yet the dogs eat of the crumbs that fall from their master's table.
Then Jesus answered and said unto
her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was
made whole from that very hour." (Matthew 15:21-28)
There are tremendous implications
in this passage. We can understand this passage clearly only if we understand about Canan.
It describes the only occasion on which Jesus ever went outside Jewish territory.
There was no place in Palestine where He could be sure of privacy; wherever He went, the
crowds would find Him. So He went right north through Galilee until he came to the land of
Tyre and Sidon where the Phoenicians dwelt. The 'Cananites were called 'Phoenicians' by
the Greeks.
But even in these Cananite cities
Jesus was not free. There was a woman who had a daughter afflicted grievously. She
followed Him and His disciples crying desperately for help. At first Jesus did not pay any
attention to her because she addressed Him wrongly, as 'Son of David' meant nothing being
a Cananite woman. Secondly she addressed Him as 'Lord' to which He responded. "It is
not right to take the children's bread and to throw it to dogs". To
call a person dog was a deadly insult. Why Jesus used such a harsh language at this woman?
Isn't it that she asked only help? And the funny thing was that the woman acknowledged
that she is a 'dog'. She did not get angry by the term 'dog'; she accepted it and she
received what she wanted from Jesus. It is doubtful that the women was 'saved' from her
sins but certainly her daughter was 'saved' from her illness.
Jesus called the cananite 'dog'
because of her descendancy being born in the family of Canan. Now, if you are reading
these articles on the 'The first seed', You will know that 'Canan' was born to Ham, the
son of Noah, and Noah's second wife 'Naamah' (Cain's race), after the flood, when they
were drunk with wine and lay naked in the vineyard just like Adam and Eve in the Eden. Ham
seduced or uncovered the nakedness of his father's wife. When Noah saw that after he
awoke, he cursed the conception 'Canan' who was to be born as Ham's fourth son after the
flood to him and Naamah (belonging to Cain's race). Jesus knew that. The Cananite woman
knew that history.
In the story of David and
Goliath, the giant Goliath, the Philistine (Cananite) says to David, "Am I a dog,
that thou comest to me with staves? " I sam 17:43 The fact is, when a female
prostitutes, she is called a 'harlot' but when a male, prostitutes, he is called 'a dog'.
This was in usage from olden times. The Cananites were 'dogs' because Ham prostituted with
Naamah and as such propagating the serpent's seed through 'Canan'. In Rev 22:14 it is
written, "Blessed are they that do His commandments
. For without are dogs,
and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and
maketh a lie" Remember my friend! JESUS is called 'the TRUTH' whereas
the Antichrist is called the 'Lie' "Ye are of your father the devil,
and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and
abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie,
he speaketh of his own for he is a liar and the father of it" John 8;
44
Lesson 11
Dear Brothers and Sisters in
Christ, this article is our last article in our research study 'the first seed'. I hope
and wish that you will continue to meditate on the Word of God without any prejudice or
any pre-conceived idea. The Holy Spirit of God will help you to divide rightly the
word of truth!
In the book of Revelation, the Antichrist
is given a threefold appellation, (Rev 9:11), namely,
I. King over the locusts
II .The Angel of the Abyss
III. The destroyer
Let us look at the opening verse
of Rev 9 where a 'Star' is falling from heaven to the earth, unto whom is given the
key of the Bottomless Pit. The 'Star' we believe refers to Lucifer or 'morning star'. The
fall of Lucifer here is not the Original fall (where he lost his estate) but to the fall
referred in Rev 12: 9 where Michael the archangel, clears the second heaven by warring
with Lucifer and his angels and sending them hurtling down to earth. The fact that the key
of the Abyss is given to him is because that during the Tribulation Period (God allows him
free rein and suffers him to do his worst.
Out of the well of the Bottomless
Pit comes a kind of internal Cherubim and their number is given as two hundred
thousand thousand. These are definitely a part of the fallen angels now imprisoned
in Tartarus or the well of the Bottomless Pit. They have a 'king' who is
called 'the angel of the Bottomless Pit ' is the only 'son of Satan' conceived to
Eve in Eden and the serpent, the 'serpent's seed' or first seed or commonly called the
'Antichrist'. He has a mark upon him put by God when he killed his brother, Abel,
and we believe that mark is '666' 'Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count
the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man and his number is Six
hundred three score six (Rev 13: 18) He is a beast as also man and that we
believe could be only Cain and later on after the flood Canan conceived to
Ham and Naamah (Cain's race)
The same is told in detail in II
Peter 2 and the epistle of Jude.
"For if God spared not the angels
that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains
of darkness, to be reserved unto Judgment: (II Pet 2:4) This is one group, a part of the fallen
angels.
"And spared not the old
world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in
the flood upon the world of the ungodly;" (II Pet 2: 5) This is the
second group, the mixed race, giants, destroyed by the flood except Noah and his family.
"And turning the cities of
Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an
ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;" (II Pet 2:6) This is the third
group, the people of Sodom and Gommarrah, the Cananite race, destroyed by fire and
brimstone for God had promised to Noah that He would never destroy again by the
flood.
This is also remarked in the
General Epistle of Jude.
"And the angels which
kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved
in everlasting chains under darkness until the Judgment of the great day"(Jude v6)
The Judgment of the great day
may mean the great and fearful day of the Lord or the Vial Judgments. They may be used as
His agents on that day before being thrown into the lake of fire.
It is indeed solemn to discover
that the very first man born into this world is the Man of Sin. Just like Christ's Second
Coming, there will be a Second Coming of 'Cain'. The scripture says 'The beast that thou
sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit" Rev 17:8. At
Christ's Second Coming, He shall descend with His saints; At Antichrist's Second
Coming, He shall ascend with infernal locusts.
In seven respects, we can see the
picture of Antichrist in Cain.
1. IIn I John 3:12 we are told
that 'Cain was of that 'wicked one' i.e. the 'Devil' Of none other that name 'wicked one'
is used.
2. Cain was a religious
hypocrite. When the Lord refused his bloodless offering, he was 'very wroth' (Gen. 4:5).
Cain as Antichrist similarly will first claim to be 'Christ', later on as His denier.(I
John 2:22)
3. Cain was a ruler. 'Unto
thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him' (Gen 4:7) that is, over Abel the
righteous seed. In the latter days Cain will rule over Israel.
4. Cain was a murderer. In
the last days Cain will murder many of those who do not take his mark '666'.
5. Cain was a liar. Deceit
and falsehood will characterize the antichrist. (II Thes 2:11)
6. God's Judgment descended upon
Cain. In the last days the antichrist will think that he can defy God and slay His people.
But it will not be so.
7. Cain exclaimed, 'My punishment
is greater than I can bear' (Gen 4:13). He did not repent He was only worried about his
judgment. Finally the Antichrist will be 'cast alive into the lake of fire burning with
brimstone'( Rev 19:20)
Brothers and Sisters in Christ, we
have presented our `research study for your meditation. Let the spirit of God help you to
rightly divide the word of God. Again we write to you humbly that it is only a humble
meditation for those who are interested in the word of God and not an important
fundamental doctrinal truth which we must believe. But before discarding these papers,
please pray and think. 'God
bless you'.
