The bloodline of Cain and the bloodline of the Messiah
Know your adversary
In these articles about the Nephilim we will see what the role of Satan is in major lined of the world history.
In his battle to Destry God’s creation. The battle goes back to the creation of the world, but is still actively present today. Lots of facts and trivia so……
Jesus Christ is the central figure in the Bible, the universe and in the human history. We read in the Bible that in addition to the seed of the woman, there is also the seed of Satan. And these two are at war with each other throughout the Bible.
The Nephilim were giant soldiers of Satan who played a crucial role throughout the OT and also in the NT!
From the Bible we are going to learn that God’s intention to make the creation in His image cannot be stopped by Satan’s efforts to destroy creation. And this war is still in full swing!
In Daniel 2:43 – 44 it says that they will play a role in the end times. The Bible predicts that just before the return of Christ there will be another attempt to mix the seed of the heavenly and the earthly with each other. The fallen angels, along with the spirits of the Nephilim, will return to the earth and the antichrist, the ultimate seed of the devil, will rise up and try once again to make mankind believe that he is god.
Man was a special creation of God. Man looked like God (Ezekiel 1:26; Daniel 3: 25).
The Garden of Eden was the place where heaven and earth met. God and man together in the evening coolness. (Paradise = para (next to) dise, deus (God).
Genesis 2:9….The Tree of Life was in the middle, just as it will be again at the end of time: Revelation 22:2.
Actually, the Garden was a temple: where man and God met.
The Tree of Life gave people eternal life, just as the angels had. Therefore, this tree was a picture of the Lord Jesus, who also gives us eternal life.
God created mankind to take the place of the fallen angels who had rebelled with Satan. They were to maintain the temple on earth. However Adam was set below the angels and yet even though he did not have the power and knowledge of the angels, He gave him the task of maintaining the temple.
Psalm 115:16
Marriage
The first words in human history concerned marriage (Genesis 1:23-24). “one flesh”. Marriage was an exclusive privilege for man and the angels in heaven were amazed: it was totally new to them! Angels are not allowed to marry and marriage was necessary because man was mortal and therefore had to maintain his race by reproducing. (Luke 20: 34-36)Angels were created immortal immediately. They are heavenly beings who do not die and are not allowed to marry. Marriage has an even greater spiritual purpose: a reflection of Jesus and salvation. (Ephesians 5: 22-32). After all, all born-again Christians together form the bride of Christ and Jesus is the bridegroom.
Satan and the fallen angels: the enemies of man
The marriage was holy to God (Heb. 13:4).
Who is Satan? Isaiah 14: 12-17.
Satan’s first attack on man
Satan was corrupted by pride and arrogant ambition and wanted to remove God from the throne. The first thing he did was alienate his replacement from God. This is why Paul warns in Ephesians 6:11-12 that we are dealing with a spiritual adversary.
Sin removed Adam and Eve from God’s presence
Adam would work and manage the Garden. Sin came between them and Adam died a spiritual death. Man’s spiritual death is very important on Satan’s agenda. You are dead in your sin, says the Bible: Colossians 2:13 ; Rom 8:10. The human body died spiritually because of sin, something Satan used the Nephilim for to further corrupt them so that God’s plan of redemption could not go forward. Titus 1: 15 explains why they discovered they were naked. Suddenly they saw what was unclean. But perhaps their outward appearance also changed….
The battle between God and Satan took a new turn: man was now involved.
As for Satan, a prophecy was pronounced.
A human savior would one day defeat Satan
We are going to look at what happened when God had pronounced judgment on the serpent after it had tempted man to sin: Genesis 3:15
The judgment on Satan was that he would not only be at enmity or war with the woman, but that the woman’s seed would crush his head. This prophecy meant that a child would be born who would defeat and destroy the devil.
God chose to defeat Satan through His Son Jesus. Satan therefore knew that this would be a male child born of a woman.
Satan knew not only that he would be defeated but also by whom. Not by legions of angels, but by a child of the divine bloodline borne by a woman.
Read Revelation 12:1-4
Angels had contact with people in the pre-flood period
In this pre-flood period, there was open contact between angels and humans on earth. Eve was also not at all surprised when she saw Satan in the Garden. (Just look in the rest of the Bible that when someone meets an angel they are terrified. That is why the angel always says, “Do not be afraid.”)
An angel with a flickering sword guarded the entrance to the Garden so that people could not eat from the tree of life. Again, an angel in the earthly environment. This was a Cherub (an angel from around God’s throne where Satan also belonged at the time).
In short, in the pre-flood period, angels and humans simply had contact with each other. Thus, fallen angels could also contact humans. This period was characterized by a mix of earthly and heavenly environments.
Adam believed in the promise of Satan’s destruction
After the curse, Adam only gave a name to his wife: Eve, mother of all the living. By doing so, Adam indicated that he believed God’s prophecy, for Eve would one day become a mother. And this child would lift the curse of sin and restore the relationship with God.
___________________
The first fruit
Cain, the first son, could be that child according to his parents and the prophecy. So Satan set out to kill or corrupt him. Satan chose to tempt to sin. Cain’s sacrifices offended God and showed his lack of faith. Genesis 4:3-5
I.e. Abel: Heb 11:4
Wicked Cain
Cain was not an atheist; after all, he saw God for himself. However, he believed in a religion of his own. When God did not accept his sacrifices things went from bad to worse.
Genesis 4:8.
And so what had happened? There was NOTHING left of the first two fruits: one was dead and the other corrupt. No more sight of the Messiah. Satan seemed to have won. Cain was under Satan’s influence: 1 Jn 3:11-12
God separated Satan’s fruit from God’s children to protect the Messianic bloodline
Where Adam still tried to blame his wife, Cain openly lied to God. And God separated the wicked from the righteous. Cain was banished outside the land of Eden while Adam and Eve were banished outside the Garden, but still in the land of Eden. Cain feared not only people but also angels who could kill him.
Seth was born and seen as a substitute for Abel. Thus the Messianic bloodline continued. (Seth means “compensation”). Seth was given Enos and there was a revival on earth. The people increased and became numerous. This changed the battle between God and evil.
The daughters of men: the growth of mankind.
Adam had sons and daughters. Genesis 5:3-5. Genesis 5 shows that both sons and daughters were born. And so it was possible for Cain to find a wife (from his immediate family).
The importance of God’s commandment “be fruitful and numerous”.
There were now too many people so Satan could not kill more individuals to disrupt the Messianic bloodline. There were too many potential Messiahs coming. And Cain was running for his life….
And so satan devised a new attack that would make the entire human race unfit as a Messiah in one fell swoop…..
Who are the “sons of God”.
Read Genesis 6: 5. Note that already during Adam’s lifetime the fallen angels came to earth for this purpose. (Adam lived another 50 years during the life of Noah’s father!).
Verse 4 speaks of a period from Adam to Noah.
Genesis 6 from verse to verse:
Were the sons of God angels?
“Benei ha’Elohim” was used only for divine beings in the Bible. They were mighty men, men of name. Bigger and stronger than the average man. Giants, in other words.
Christians eventually become “sons of God.
“Eventually, born-again people are also called “sons of God.” John 1:12 shows this as well as Matt 22:3.
Angels desired human women
Rebellion against God is rebellion against His Will. Angels were forbidden to marry. To humans, however, it was given. Once they rebelled against God, they continued to rebel and violated God’s commandment concerning marriage: Jude 1: 6-7.
Satan was creating his own bloodline by allowing angels to have intercourse with humans. (Remember that angels have sod (see Genesis 3)). The angels became jealous of humans who enjoyed marriage and its sexual aspects. This coupled with the fact that the women were beautiful to look at, incited some of the fallen angels to lust.
___________________
The first generation of the Nephilim.
Cain lived in isolation from the faithful people of the earth: Genesis 4:16. In the land of the refugee (NOD), Cain settled down and started a family.
A generation focused on worldly success and pleasure.
Genesis 4:17
Anyone who wants nothing from God seeks salvation in worldly things and pleasure. He also built a city (invented it). Cities, like today, are centers of lust and rebellion. After the flood, Nimrod did the same thing. Cain named his first city after his son Enoch (Enoch means “devoted”). Devoted to the sin of the world. Psalm 49:6-13 The next cities mentioned in the Bible are Sodom and Gomorrah. These represent immorality and corruption, right?
The perfect goal for the devil.
Satan’s children were born outside the presence and influence of God. And thus a perfect goal for satan to carry out his next plan to thwart the seed of the woman….
Lamech’s violation of the marriage commandment tempted angels to follow suit.
Lamech violated God’s commandment regarding marriage: Genesis 4: 19 The fallen angels saw Lamech sin with impunity and thought, “so do we”: Genesis 6:2
The first deal between a family and the devil.
Angels observe what humans do: 1 Peter 1: 12 ; 1 Cor 4: 9 The impunity of Lamech’s sin and the beauty of his daughter aroused the lust of fallen angels and made them come into the earthly environment.
They offered heavenly knowledge in exchange for the first human bride of an angel.
Therefore, humanity made a huge technological leap forward at the time of Lamech’s life. Genesis 4: 19-22
Lamech thought he was immune from God’s judgment but was severely condemned. People who don’t care about God look at believers with jealousy and hatred.
Lamech was a polygamist and a murderer. Someone who did not care about God.
Naamah, mother of the Nephilim
Was the sister of Tubal-Kain (one of the 4 named women from the pre-flood period): Eve, Adah and Zillah). Naamah means “beauty.” Her brothers were all inventors in various fields with the knowledge obtained from the fallen angels.
Heavenly technology in exchange for a human wife.
The first two technologies provided wealth and entertainment, both something in which you quickly forget the Word of God.
Tubal-Cain, a teacher of every craftsman in copper and iron.
But the latest technology provided weapons and tools. Tubal-Cain is a password of the Freemasons (!).
Places in the Bible where people also provided heavenly knowledge.
In many places in the Bible people obtain heavenly knowledge: Solomon, the wicked of Tekoah, the builders of the temple and the tabernacle.
The last pure human generation in Cain’s bloodline.
This stops at Naamah and they all most likely perished in the flood.
