    Gen.4.2 "The Good Shepherd" (1 of 2)

    "And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground."

    Cain was the firstborn as Easau was. In God's will his Son was to be the firstborn of all creation. It the divine Will that set the doctrine. The bone of bones made Adam as a double for his Son. As word was with God, Adam is also set down in the God document in this specific fame of reference. Eve on account of the Word is not merely a woman but as the symbol for the church.

    Cain was set apart "That thou shalt set apart unto the LORD all that openeth the matrix, and every firstling that cometh of a beast which thou hast; the malesshall bethe LORD'S."(Exod.13. 2) This is true as far as Eve is the mother all living.' That is according to the flesh. Cain showed no sympathy beyond the superficials. He took to the task as his father fell back upon after his fall. He did not know the same foreknowledge as he showed when he correctly understood the place ofEve in the God's schme of things. "This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh." This revelation came from the breath of God who made him a living soul. Being the firstborn without reverence for the holiness of God he took the line of least resistance. His first offering also smacked of the indifference,'take it or leave it.' Naturally God was not pleased with it as He was with Abel.

    "And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering." He was led by the Spirit of Christ so he served as the Good Shepherd, as the double for Jesus Christ. Similarly Seth stepped into the void made by Cain the wicked one. He did not do in a vacuum. In the midst of the throne "stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth." God had set provision for the fulfillment of his divine Will before the worlds began.
