2 | Genesis 4:24 Lamech assumption? | Genesis | Bill Richardson | 230628 | ||
It's a little easier to understand this assumption when we check the Genesis record and see that in all liklihood, Cain was still alive as was Adam and Eve and most of their whole clan. So the stories from these famous people was still fresh on their minds in spite of their ages of several hundred years each. (They probably shared these kinds of stories around the campfire for many generations. I like to think the Garden of Eden left a very vivid impression on Adam and Eve. And holding one-on-one conversations with God Almighty was totally awesome.) Cain's reputation was probably widely disseminated then as it is now. Further, since God hadn't given out much Guidance it's not difficult to understand how a person like Lamech might have made such a conclusion. Remember all mankind likes to think we're great thinkers and problem solvers. Our biggest problem: we like to do ALL this thinking and solving without God's Input. Big mistake. He created us and knows what makes us tick far better than the wisest amoung us. But most are like your's truly and graduate from the University of Hard Knocks and then go back for our Masters and PhD. Yeah, after we get enough bumps and bruises, by NOT following His Perfect Maintenance Manual, His Word, we finally go to Him for Advice. Well, enough of my stuff. Go with God in all things, my friend. Bill |
