    Gen.4.16 "East of Eden"

    "And Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden."

    Upon man's disobedience God's curse, "Cursed was the ground for thy sake" and it explains the ground from which was he was taken. " for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return."(3.19) With God removing his presence from he it is no longer, 'In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread,' it is rising from the table with dyspepsia, and many other symptoms of a sinful man. After the ground to which he was going is what we got, inasmuch as we have mutant weather, contaminated sea and land soaked with pollutants. Yet for a few more dollars, it is drill, drll, drill baby' the mantra of nations gone bad. The ground produces such morally dyspeptic persons cannot step out without a lethal weapons. Such laws to protect a citizen show to what depths nations may descent for what they cannot carry to the kingdom come. They are as Praphet Isaiah say," But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt./ There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked."(Isa.57.20-21)

    Cain's progress does not stop with the land of Nod but he is a pioneer whose track the Holy Spirit informs us was led by unclean spirit of disobedience. The fool may treat it as individualism making sweat and blood of severl others as his own. How far can such fools go? "For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty."(Rev.16.14)
