Subject: What was the mark on Cain put by God? |
Bible Note: Six is associated with the creation of Man GEN 1:26-31 Man was created on the sixth day; and hence six is man's "Hall mark"; and , with its multiples, is stamped upon all that characterizes man as falling short of God; or in opposition to or defiance to God. Goliath was 6 cubits high; his spear's head weighed 600 shekels of iron; and he had 6 pieces of armour enumerated. Nebuchadnezzar was similarily marked. His image was 60 cubits high, and 6 cubits wide, while 6 instruments of music called for its universal worship. The Beast is marked by the threefold combination of 666 REV 13:18 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 threescore and six. The Hebrew word used regarding the mark that Cain receives is owth meaning in the sense of appearing; a signal, lit. or fig., as a flag, beacon, monument, omen, prodigy, evidence, etc.. -mark, miracle, en-sign, token. 1 JOHN 3:10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither is he that loveth not his brother. 1 JOHN 3:11 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. 1 JOHN 3:12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous. |
