"For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew."(4.25)
The Holy Spirit begins generation of Jesus Christ and presents Seth by appointment. It was in the Will of God so Abel and Seth are names which alternate for one another. Last Adam is where they are reconciled.
God created Adam 'in the likeness of God made he him.' What of Abel? He was righteous because of faith.He offered "a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts."(Heb.11.4) In the sight of God Abel was after our image and after our likeness.
While the gospel of Cain was 'Am I my brother's keeper' Jesus did not please himself and took the form of a servant to minister (Rom.15.3) and "Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many."(Mt.20.28) Cain's gospel was as dark as that of Abel's was, who spared no effort to please God. God's gift was in his flock and the other was faith. Cain denied it.
Now Seth stepping in place of Abel showed he did by faith. Jesus Christ in human likeness was the branch. Chapter Five presents us the holy family from the sons of Adam. What of Abel whose faith Jesus acknowledges as his own? His name is already writen heaven. Mt.23.35. He belongs to the generation of Jesus Christ."And by it (faith) he being dead yet speaketh." We live among darkness while we shine as lights.
Jesus Christ as the intercessor became the Branch and last Adam in the world of Spirit has another group of 144,000 "And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark,"These stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God." They are also as Abel and Seth are, of the selfsame Branch.They are sealed by appointment." till we have sealed the servants of God in their foreheads."(Rev.7.3; 15.2)
