"And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground."
Jesus in his "woe to ye" discourse presented the voice of his brethren crying similarly for justice, "hat upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar./ Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation."(Mt.23.35-36). God sends Cain off knowing he belonged to to the generation of the wicked, under the cover of darkness mentioned in Gen.1.2) Abel belonged to the generation of his Son so how how do we know for certain? His faith of course. In the day of judgment. James speak of the day of slaughter,"ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter." and in the coming of the Lord faith shall call up witnesses," (Jas.5.3-8) Faith is pure language and it speaks as deep unto deep. Those who disregard the world of the Spirit and think prosperity theology shall save them are know-nothings. Their kingdom-building in the latter days a chimera. " By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh."(Heb.11.4)
Perhaps the wailing and gnashing of teeth in the outer darkness explain due justice to the wicked. " For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities./ Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double."(Rev.18.5-6)
11 And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;
12 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.
