'Cain we all just get along?'

Forget about crack cocaine; unsaved “spiritualists” have Cain on the brain.

“Many secret orders have an Outer Head--a non-corporeal entity who is recognized as that order’s true Grand Master, for whom the corporeal Grand Master is but a representative (similar to the patron deity) . . . under the guidance of the spirit of Cain, the god-king of the ancient world immortalized in legends as mankind’s Forgotten Father,” confirms the website OrdoLapsiExillis.

“Cain is said to have created civilizations across the globe, and to have shared with certain chosen men a secret, forbidden wisdom: the Hermetic doctrine of the occult, symbolized by the Lapsit Exillis, or the Holy Grail. These actions brought him into conflict with other members of the divine hierarchy, an occasion immortalized in the Biblical story of the War in Heaven, and in other myths from various cultures that tell the same story.

“He is also said to have interbred with mortal females, creating mankind’s first royal family, the Grail bloodline, which carried with it the seed of the divine. Their descendants became the lords of the earth, resulting in many, if not in fact most of the world’s royal dynasties throughout history. The Grail gene can even be found in numerous other important personages from both the past and the present, including every single president of the United States.

“The archetypal figure of Cain can be found in an astonishing variety of myths and legends from divers places and periods. Notable ones include: Kronos/Saturn, Hermes/Mercury, Zeus, Vulcan, Oceanus, Osiris, Oannes, Dagon, Moloch, Baal, Odin, Wotan, South American gods . . .”

Once when I was walking in New York City, I remember waiting at a corner for the light to change when a street preacher was mockingly asked, “Where did Cain get his wife?” by a pedestrian who did not even slow down to wait for the possible answer.

Indeed, unsaved people (at least they used to) love the old question: “Where’d Cain get his wife?”

“Pennsylvania preacher Henry Culp used to have a sermon, ‘Where did Mrs. Cain get her husband?’ and I’ve always thought, ‘That’s a good question! I mean, who would have married that dodo?!’ ” says Jordan.

Cain says in Genesis 4:14, “Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.”

Jordan explains, “Notice when Cain says ‘every one that findeth me shall slay me,’ according to the Law of the Near Kinsman the people who could slay a man were his near kinsmen. So what he’s saying is everybody out there is his relative. Everybody on the face of the earth at that time was a relative of Cain, being a descendant of Adam and Eve.

“They would either be Cain’s brothers and sisters or his nieces, nephews and cousins. Evidently, there’s a lot of people out there because he says ‘every one.’

"At this time the population of the earth has grown considerably and just because you’ve seen Cain and Abel (thus far in Genesis) and that’s all you’ve seen, doesn’t mean Adam and Eve don’t have other children because chapter 5:3-4 indicates they’re having children all along. You’re just getting a representative history in these individuals.

“So the population of the earth is increasing. This could possibly be as far along as 130 years after they got out of the Garden. The population of the earth keeps increasing and growing, so the problem with where did Cain get his wife and those kinds of things are found in the Bible text.

“Psalm 59:11 says, ‘Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield.’ That’s the principle in Genesis 4. God’s determined Cain would live before men and carry out his sentence, visibly executed before his kinsmen."
