there wasn't a mark put on Cain He was cursed, but still God had a protective cover over him that no one would kill him. "now art thou cursed from the earth. when thou tillest the ground it shall not yeild unto thee her strenght. in other words nothing he planted yeild any increase to him any more. Gen4:11,12 be blessed EdB hope I hear from you again be blessed EdB |

fran1946 Then your saying either Genesis 4:15 isn't true or we shouldn't take it literally. I assume you your leaning toward not taking it literally. Then I ask you why not? What makes you think God was talking figuratively rather than literally here? EdB |

4 | What is Mark of Cain? Where in the Bilbe | Gen 4:15 | EdB | 91001 | ||
fran1946 I am sorry if that seemed like a challenge but it was in fact a question. You said, "there wasn't a mark put on Cain He was cursed, but still God had a protective cover over him that no one would kill him." I then said "Then your saying either Genesis 4:15 isn't true or we shouldn't take it literally. I assume you your leaning toward not taking it literally. Then I ask you why not? What makes you think God was talking figuratively rather than literally here?" Let me restate my question, since Genesis 4:15 says God amrked Cain and you said God really didn't I was asking how to you came to the decision? One did you think the Genesis account was wrong? Or did you feel it was only talking figuratively and why? I view them as honest questions in light of what you said. EdB |

5 | What is Mark of Cain? Where in the Bilbe | Gen 4:15 | fran1946 | 91088 | ||
the curse was put on Cain for what he had done, but the mark was put on him for a protective sign that no one would kill him. I guess the mark could be as a brand to let every one that came into contact would know that he was not suppose to be killed . orders of the almighty God. in other words if you had something that you didn't want any one to bother or harm you would mark it. thanks and be bless until next time God bless you | ||||||
6 | What is Mark of Cain? Where in the Bilbe | Gen 4:15 | Mathew | 91120 | ||
Hello Fran1946, The name Cain has the srtongs number of H7014(with a play upon the affinity to H7069);Kajin, the name of the first child, also of a place in Palestine, and of an Oriental tribe:-Cain, Kenite From the history of the name and its tribes, Ive heard it said that Cains darkened pigment was his mark, hence Kajin food is pretty much charcoaled. However this mark on Cain may not be any more visible than the mark of the beast, Or Christ mark upon our forheads. The words mark and seal are used interchangebly throughout the Bible. Gods seal upon his children has to do with his everlasting covenant between him and man. Rev 9:4 And they were commanded not to hurt the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God in their foreheads. Eze 9:4 And Jehovah said to him, Go through in the midst of the city, in the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark on the foreheads of the men who are groaning and are mourning because of all the abominations that are done in her midst. Eph 4:30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you are sealed until the day of redemption. Interestingly enough the word "mark" in the new testement means to cut, scratch, etching, or a stamp(seal). This is why Jewish people would circumcise(cut) themselves, so they would be set apart from the world. Gen 17:10 This is My covenant, which you shall keep, between Me and you and your seed after you. Every male child among you shall be circumcised. Gen 17:11 And you shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin. And it shall be a token of the covenant between Me and you. But God ask for a circumcision of the heart. This brings me to my interesting point. The covenant was the cutting of the flesh, and now the heart. Exo 31:16 Therefore the sons of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations, for an everlasting covenant. But God says that this covenant is for "ALL" men. Isa 56:4 For so says Jehovah to the eunuchs who keep My Sabbath, and choose things that please Me, and take hold of My covenant; Isa 56:5 even to them will I give within My house and within My walls a hand and a name better than of sons and of daughters; I will give them an everlasting name that shall not be cut off. Isa 56:6 Also the sons of the stranger, who join themselves to Jehovah to serve Him, and to love the name of Jehovah, to be His servants, everyone who keeps from defiling the Sabbath, and takes hold of My covenant; To break the Sabbath is to work on the seventh day or reject it all together, according to scripture. So some say that a mark on your hand by working or mind(forehead) by rejecting is accepting the mark of the beast and rejecting Gods seal(covenant). Well theres alot that could be said about a word study on mark, seal, cutting, etching, and covenant. So I'll leave it at that. MaTT |

8 | What is Mark of Cain? Where in the Bilbe | Gen 4:15 | Mathew | 91227 | ||
Hello Frank1946, You stated that we shouldnt mess around and get the wrong mark. Let me just add a couple more scriptures to give reason for my previous post. From my understanding Gods children are already sealed(marked), in the foreknowledge of God. But the mark of the beast can not be received until certain things in scripture are fullfilled. Dan. 7:24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. Dan 7:25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. The changed times and laws are what many beleive to be a reference to the Sabbath commandment, because it is the only law concerning time. After a one world government is set up by the 11th horn and makes it law not to keep the Sabbath, then a person can chose which God he will serve. The God of creation, or the one who changed Gods times and laws. I beleive that this is relavent to your question of Cain being marked. If you go back to Cain and Ables history you can see that one persons sacrifice was accepted and the other was not. Also its interesring to note that the abomination of desolations refurred to the breaking of the Sabbath in the first two accounts. This gives some evidence that the (3rd)final abomination of desolations refurs to the same thing, not a pig being sacrificed in the (3rd) temple or the anti-christ standing in it making himself to be as God. Although I have no idea as to whos ideas are right about the mark of the beast. I just thought I would share something different, it might come in handy. MaTT |
