H.P. Mansfield – Before the Deluge – Class 3 – The Decline in the Family of Cain

1
00:00:00,040 –> 00:00:05,320
This is the Idlewild Bible
School of 1982, The third day,

2
00:00:05,360 –> 00:00:10,400
the second study of the series
before the Deluge, and this one

3
00:00:10,400 –> 00:00:14,080
is entitled The Decline.
In the family of Cain, my

4
00:00:14,080 –> 00:00:17,080
brother Pierce Mansfield of
Woodville, South Australia.

5
00:00:28,920 –> 00:00:34,560
My dear brethren and sisters in
Christ Jesus, our purpose is to

6
00:00:34,560 –> 00:00:37,720
show that in the first six
chapters of Genesis we have

7
00:00:37,720 –> 00:00:43,160
foreshadowed the whole purpose
of God, and out of that

8
00:00:43,160 –> 00:00:47,080
consideration there becomes
very, very important lessons

9
00:00:47,440 –> 00:00:50,320
that we should apply in our day
and generation.

10
00:00:51,800 –> 00:00:55,560
In a talk yesterday, I believe
we came to the point where the

11
00:00:55,680 –> 00:00:58,840
offering was made by Cain and
Abel.

12
00:00:59,680 –> 00:01:02,800
We saw that as far as Cain was
concerned, he brought the first

13
00:01:02,880 –> 00:01:06,120
fruits of the ground.
But as far as Abel was

14
00:01:06,120 –> 00:01:10,120
concerned, he bought both those
and the lamb which represented

15
00:01:10,120 –> 00:01:13,800
his life that he offered unto
Yahweh.

16
00:01:13,920 –> 00:01:18,480
At that time.
We’re going to find out that in

17
00:01:18,480 –> 00:01:21,280
the life of Cain and in the
family of Cain, there was a

18
00:01:21,280 –> 00:01:26,840
deterioration.
And yet those two boys were sons

19
00:01:26,840 –> 00:01:29,840
of Adam and Eve.
They were brothers and members

20
00:01:29,840 –> 00:01:35,040
of one family, and it really
constituted the family of God.

21
00:01:35,040 –> 00:01:38,440
And yet we learn from these
early chapters of Genesis that

22
00:01:38,440 –> 00:01:43,360
out of the family of God there
came this deterioration.

23
00:01:44,280 –> 00:01:48,000
In other words, it’s a reminder
right down through the

24
00:01:48,000 –> 00:01:52,600
generations that deterioration
can be expected.

25
00:01:53,720 –> 00:01:57,560
And as we read the record of
God, the God’s purpose with

26
00:01:57,560 –> 00:02:02,400
humanity, we find that from
within has come those things

27
00:02:02,400 –> 00:02:06,480
that have undermined the truth,
whether it be during the course

28
00:02:06,480 –> 00:02:09,600
of Israel’s history or whether
it be during the course of the

29
00:02:09,600 –> 00:02:15,040
history of the ecclesias of God,
the record of history affairs as

30
00:02:15,080 –> 00:02:17,640
well as concern of one of peaks
and shadows.

31
00:02:18,200 –> 00:02:21,760
We have a Manasseh.
We have a Hezekiah, we have a

32
00:02:21,800 –> 00:02:27,520
Josiah, and we have a Zedekiah.
SO1 moment, that same nation is

33
00:02:27,520 –> 00:02:31,800
in the peaks, a grand reform,
and the next moment in the

34
00:02:31,800 –> 00:02:36,120
shadow is in the valley, and
they are in a state of apostasy

35
00:02:36,120 –> 00:02:39,040
from God.
And that’s the history of

36
00:02:39,040 –> 00:02:41,480
Israel.
And as far as the eccleses are

37
00:02:41,480 –> 00:02:44,680
concerned, the same thing.
You have these 7 eccleses of

38
00:02:44,680 –> 00:02:47,000
Asia.
You have the work of the apostle

39
00:02:47,000 –> 00:02:51,080
Paul in those very eccleses.
You find him commending them for

40
00:02:51,080 –> 00:02:54,080
their great work that they were
accomplishing in the things of

41
00:02:54,080 –> 00:02:56,400
God.
And the next moment, where are

42
00:02:56,400 –> 00:02:58,600
those eccleses today?
They’re gone.

43
00:03:00,160 –> 00:03:02,560
Did you know when you’re looking
at ecclesias today, in this

44
00:03:02,560 –> 00:03:06,040
modern generation of ours,
you’ll find ecclesias advance

45
00:03:06,040 –> 00:03:08,160
and decline.
And that is the pattern of

46
00:03:08,160 –> 00:03:11,200
things all the way along the
line.

47
00:03:11,200 –> 00:03:14,040
And we’re reminded of that in
the record of Cain and Abel.

48
00:03:16,400 –> 00:03:19,640
And you know, the symbol of the
ecclesia in the Word of God is

49
00:03:19,640 –> 00:03:23,360
the moon.
The moon represents the ecclesia

50
00:03:23,360 –> 00:03:25,440
because the moon is no light of
itself.

51
00:03:25,440 –> 00:03:29,960
It reflects the light of the
sun, and the moon is never

52
00:03:29,960 –> 00:03:33,200
constant.
It’s either waxing or waning,

53
00:03:33,840 –> 00:03:37,920
never constant.
And our ecclesias are like that.

54
00:03:37,920 –> 00:03:42,440
Brethren and sisters, we say
things are going very well, but

55
00:03:42,440 –> 00:03:44,280
then tomorrow they’re not so
well.

56
00:03:45,880 –> 00:03:49,040
And the moon is never at the
same time.

57
00:03:49,040 –> 00:03:50,760
Every day it’s a little
different.

58
00:03:50,800 –> 00:03:53,600
It may be advancing, it may be
declining.

59
00:03:53,880 –> 00:03:57,120
I’ve been associated with
ecclesias that have advanced and

60
00:03:57,120 –> 00:04:00,680
have declined.
I’ve seen ecclesias right down

61
00:04:00,880 –> 00:04:04,520
to the very depths of decline
about to go out of existence.

62
00:04:04,520 –> 00:04:08,560
But when the goodness of God and
the energy of brethren, it’s,

63
00:04:08,840 –> 00:04:11,760
they have risen again and
they’ve come to greatness.

64
00:04:12,080 –> 00:04:16,720
But there’s no sense of saying,
look, we are great today because

65
00:04:16,720 –> 00:04:20,480
tomorrow there may be something
and it happened so quickly that

66
00:04:20,480 –> 00:04:23,920
will cause a decline.
And that’s we’re finding in the

67
00:04:23,920 –> 00:04:26,600
life of Cain and Abel.
And it is in the case of the

68
00:04:26,600 –> 00:04:29,120
moon, which was the symbol of
the ecclesia.

69
00:04:29,520 –> 00:04:33,040
And you know, it was when the
moon was at its full that Israel

70
00:04:33,040 –> 00:04:36,240
used to celebrate the Passover.
And they would open the doors of

71
00:04:36,240 –> 00:04:39,440
the home so that they could see
that moon in its full because

72
00:04:39,440 –> 00:04:42,760
that represented the ecclesia at
that particular moment.

73
00:04:42,760 –> 00:04:46,480
The ecclesia being the Kingdom
of God when they were all

74
00:04:46,480 –> 00:04:50,040
celebrating the Passover.
But tomorrow that moon was not

75
00:04:50,040 –> 00:04:52,280
quite at its full.
You couldn’t tell the

76
00:04:52,280 –> 00:04:54,280
difference.
You might think it’s at its

77
00:04:54,280 –> 00:04:57,520
full, but it’s not.
And that’s like trouble within

78
00:04:57,520 –> 00:04:59,880
an ecclesia.
It’s like trouble within our

79
00:04:59,880 –> 00:05:02,520
lives.
We don’t always recognize it,

80
00:05:03,000 –> 00:05:05,120
but slowly that eats into
things.

81
00:05:05,120 –> 00:05:10,080
And there, there there is a a
waning of that enthusiasm or

82
00:05:10,080 –> 00:05:14,000
that strength that we may see
there and we are reminded of

83
00:05:14,000 –> 00:05:19,120
this that we might never be self
satisfied and with that we might

84
00:05:19,120 –> 00:05:22,600
be constantly on our guard as
far as these things are

85
00:05:22,600 –> 00:05:26,560
concerned.
So the Lamb of God was offered

86
00:05:26,560 –> 00:05:31,760
in the 3rd chapter of jealousies
and they continued that or Abel

87
00:05:31,760 –> 00:05:34,040
did when?
We come to the 4th chapter.

88
00:05:34,520 –> 00:05:37,880
And it reminds us of what we
read in the 13th chapter of the

89
00:05:37,880 –> 00:05:41,680
Revelation and at verse 8, where
it speaks of those that are

90
00:05:41,680 –> 00:05:45,080
written in the book of the life
of the Lamb slain from the

91
00:05:45,080 –> 00:05:47,880
foundation of the world.
So here we go in the Book of

92
00:05:47,880 –> 00:05:51,360
Revelation is drawing your
attention to the Lamb that was

93
00:05:51,360 –> 00:05:55,840
slain on this time, when of
course there was the first

94
00:05:55,840 –> 00:06:00,320
religion established.
So we considered yesterday how

95
00:06:00,320 –> 00:06:04,120
that Cain offered his offering
and Abel offered his offering,

96
00:06:04,640 –> 00:06:08,160
and we considered, I believe
that undue Cain.

97
00:06:08,160 –> 00:06:12,520
And to his offering God had no
respect, but he had respect unto

98
00:06:12,640 –> 00:06:15,000
Abel’s.
And we pointed out from Hebrews

99
00:06:15,000 –> 00:06:18,480
Chapter 11 and verse four that
he had respect unto Abel’s

100
00:06:18,480 –> 00:06:20,480
offering because he offered it
in faith.

101
00:06:20,760 –> 00:06:23,640
And faith is a confident
anticipation of things hoped

102
00:06:23,640 –> 00:06:25,640
for.
Abel is prepared to give his

103
00:06:25,640 –> 00:06:29,520
life unto God because he knows
that that life is very, very

104
00:06:29,520 –> 00:06:33,920
limited and he wants eternal
life, and therefore as far as he

105
00:06:33,920 –> 00:06:36,720
is concerned, he’ll give his
life unto God through faith.

106
00:06:36,720 –> 00:06:40,160
He did that, we’re told that in
Hebrews 11 and verse 4.

107
00:06:40,360 –> 00:06:43,000
And God had respect unto his
offerings.

108
00:06:43,320 –> 00:06:47,920
He he enjoyed the gifts that
Abel offered unto him because he

109
00:06:47,920 –> 00:06:51,200
offered them in faith.
And he tells us in the sixth

110
00:06:51,200 –> 00:06:54,480
verse that without faith it’s
impossible to please God.

111
00:06:54,800 –> 00:06:56,600
You can offer all the animals
you like.

112
00:06:56,720 –> 00:06:59,320
You can give him what you want.
You have what you like.

113
00:06:59,480 –> 00:07:01,440
You can pour out your wealth at
his feet.

114
00:07:01,640 –> 00:07:03,880
He doesn’t want it.
He’s got plenty of that.

115
00:07:04,040 –> 00:07:07,200
But what he needs of you and
what he needs of me is that

116
00:07:07,200 –> 00:07:11,160
faith that will energize,
energize and motivate us to

117
00:07:11,240 –> 00:07:14,320
action on behalf of the things
of God.

118
00:07:15,840 –> 00:07:20,000
We pointed out, I think, that
the word pain means gain.

119
00:07:20,520 –> 00:07:22,640
It means the acquisition of
something.

120
00:07:23,000 –> 00:07:24,680
He wants it, and He wants it
now.

121
00:07:25,480 –> 00:07:27,560
He wants immediate success in
life.

122
00:07:27,560 –> 00:07:28,760
He’s not.
Prepared to wait?

123
00:07:29,480 –> 00:07:32,640
Abel, on the other hand, is from
a root word that you find in the

124
00:07:32,640 –> 00:07:35,520
book of Ecclesiastes and
rendered vanity.

125
00:07:36,000 –> 00:07:40,680
And he recognized that life was
vain, that life was a vapor that

126
00:07:40,680 –> 00:07:43,040
appeared for a little time and
vanished away.

127
00:07:43,240 –> 00:07:46,000
That’s why his faith was on the
distant sea.

128
00:07:46,200 –> 00:07:48,400
That’s why he saw something
ahead of him.

129
00:07:48,680 –> 00:07:52,520
He recognized clearly and
plainly that this life was very,

130
00:07:52,520 –> 00:07:55,480
very limited.
And therefore in faith he looked

131
00:07:55,480 –> 00:07:57,880
to the future.
And that’s why he offered that

132
00:07:57,880 –> 00:08:00,840
land.
That’s why he of his life unto

133
00:08:00,840 –> 00:08:06,000
God.
So here we have the 2 two boys,

134
00:08:06,200 –> 00:08:09,800
the sons of Adam and Eve, and
they’re making their offerings.

135
00:08:10,120 –> 00:08:14,280
And again, I want to emphasize,
and I try to do this constantly

136
00:08:14,280 –> 00:08:18,120
to myself.
Then there’s two men in Cain and

137
00:08:18,120 –> 00:08:22,040
Abel.
Both were religious, both wanted

138
00:08:22,040 –> 00:08:25,800
to worship God.
Both were prepared to sacrifice,

139
00:08:26,560 –> 00:08:29,920
but God accepted 1 sacrifice and
not the other.

140
00:08:31,160 –> 00:08:34,679
So let us analyze our own
attitudes towards our God.

141
00:08:35,480 –> 00:08:38,520
We want to worship, we want to
please God.

142
00:08:38,840 –> 00:08:42,120
We’re prepared to sacrifice.
We can only do it whether it’s

143
00:08:42,120 –> 00:08:45,200
sacrifice or not in the way that
God wants.

144
00:08:45,480 –> 00:08:48,400
And he has laid down what he
requires.

145
00:08:49,160 –> 00:08:53,000
So we said that he claim was
wroth we read, and his

146
00:08:53,000 –> 00:08:55,400
countenance fail.
He.

147
00:08:55,400 –> 00:08:58,920
Became angry because His
offering was not accepted.

148
00:08:59,480 –> 00:09:02,000
And Yahweh said unto Cain, Why
aren’t they rather?

149
00:09:02,000 –> 00:09:05,880
Why as thy countenance fallen?
Well, we all know the answer to

150
00:09:05,880 –> 00:09:08,280
that.
Because He had accepted Abel and

151
00:09:08,280 –> 00:09:11,360
not Cain.
If thou doest well, shalt thou

152
00:09:11,360 –> 00:09:15,400
not be accepted?
He had the position of first

153
00:09:15,400 –> 00:09:19,800
born, and the position of first
born confirmed certain rights.

154
00:09:20,400 –> 00:09:23,840
The first born in the family
before the Aaronic priesthood

155
00:09:24,880 –> 00:09:27,760
exercised the position of a
priest in the family.

156
00:09:28,720 –> 00:09:32,800
He was held in respect next to
the parents and he had a double

157
00:09:32,800 –> 00:09:35,920
portion of inheritance.
That was the first.

158
00:09:36,160 –> 00:09:40,080
The first borns peregrine.
He was a priest, a king, and he

159
00:09:40,080 –> 00:09:42,000
had a double portion of
inheritance.

160
00:09:42,560 –> 00:09:47,160
But under Jewish law, a younger
son could be elevated into the

161
00:09:47,160 –> 00:09:51,600
position of a first born, and
therefore when a younger son was

162
00:09:51,600 –> 00:09:54,280
elevated into the personal
position under the first born,

163
00:09:54,680 –> 00:09:58,640
the older son had to take the
lower position under him.

164
00:09:59,000 –> 00:10:03,120
The younger son became the
priest, he became the king, and

165
00:10:03,120 –> 00:10:05,800
he received a double portion of
inheritance.

166
00:10:06,640 –> 00:10:11,600
Like you read in the 1st at
Colossians that that Jesus

167
00:10:11,600 –> 00:10:14,720
Christ is the first born of
every creature.

168
00:10:15,760 –> 00:10:19,760
Now in a literal sense he wasn’t
because Adam was the first born.

169
00:10:19,760 –> 00:10:23,840
And here’s the second second
Adam elevated into the position

170
00:10:23,840 –> 00:10:27,480
of first born.
The psalmist was told I will

171
00:10:27,480 –> 00:10:31,440
make him my first born higher
than the kings of the earth.

172
00:10:32,080 –> 00:10:35,400
So the psalmist, you see,
predicted that Jesus Christ

173
00:10:35,400 –> 00:10:37,440
would be elevated to the first
born.

174
00:10:38,440 –> 00:10:42,360
One occasion, A7, Jehovah’s
Witness mentioned to me, he said

175
00:10:42,360 –> 00:10:46,560
Jesus Christ is the first born.
He existed before all ever

176
00:10:46,560 –> 00:10:49,120
creation.
He was the first born.

177
00:10:49,960 –> 00:10:52,160
So I said, well, look, who was
his mother?

178
00:10:52,920 –> 00:10:54,960
William said he was the first
born.

179
00:10:55,080 –> 00:10:58,680
But I said if he’s born, he must
have a mother because you have

180
00:10:58,680 –> 00:11:01,680
to have a mother to be born,
otherwise you’re created.

181
00:11:02,200 –> 00:11:04,240
If he’s the first born, he must
have a mother.

182
00:11:04,560 –> 00:11:06,400
Therefore, it’s a contradiction
in terms.

183
00:11:06,600 –> 00:11:09,440
First born of every creature as
he understood the term.

184
00:11:09,840 –> 00:11:13,840
But he could be elevated because
a younger son could be elevated

185
00:11:13,840 –> 00:11:16,400
into the first born.
And you have right throughout

186
00:11:16,400 –> 00:11:19,800
the Scriptures, younger sons
elevated to that position.

187
00:11:20,040 –> 00:11:24,920
David was 1, Joseph was another,
and Abraham was another.

188
00:11:25,000 –> 00:11:28,080
They were younger sons, but they
were elevated into the position

189
00:11:28,080 –> 00:11:32,120
of first born and God elevated
Jesus Christ to that position.

190
00:11:32,560 –> 00:11:37,320
Now here we have a Cain who was
the oldest son and he was

191
00:11:37,320 –> 00:11:41,520
appointed to be a priest.
His mother’s words being witness

192
00:11:41,800 –> 00:11:48,760
being deposed in the in, in, in,
and Abel being placed in his

193
00:11:48,760 –> 00:11:51,280
position.
So he’s lost that position.

194
00:11:51,840 –> 00:11:55,320
But God says to him, if thou
doest well, thou shalt thou not

195
00:11:55,320 –> 00:12:01,400
be accepted, and if thou shalt
not do well, sin lieth at the

196
00:12:01,400 –> 00:12:03,560
door.
Now that Hebrew word there

197
00:12:03,560 –> 00:12:07,560
rendered sin can be translated
sin or sin offering.

198
00:12:08,480 –> 00:12:10,840
And the word lieth signifies
coucheth.

199
00:12:11,240 –> 00:12:13,760
So a sin offering coucheth at
the door.

200
00:12:14,560 –> 00:12:17,800
So Canaan’s told, all is not
lost.

201
00:12:18,520 –> 00:12:21,560
If they’ll doest well, you will
be accepted.

202
00:12:21,760 –> 00:12:27,640
And if you do not do well, look,
God is merciful outside there

203
00:12:27,720 –> 00:12:30,480
you’ve got a sin offering
couching at the door.

204
00:12:30,640 –> 00:12:34,000
The thing that you haven’t
offered, that which Abel has

205
00:12:34,000 –> 00:12:36,320
offered.
Go and offer that sin offering,

206
00:12:36,960 –> 00:12:39,800
and then you will be reappointed
into your position.

207
00:12:40,680 –> 00:12:45,120
The sin offering coucheth at the
door, and unto thee shall be his

208
00:12:45,120 –> 00:12:50,280
desire, the desire of Abel.
Now I think I pointed out that

209
00:12:50,280 –> 00:12:55,680
in relation to Genesis 3 and
verse 16, thy desire shall be to

210
00:12:55,680 –> 00:12:59,240
thy husband, that the concordant
rendition of the Bible renders

211
00:12:59,240 –> 00:13:04,520
that her restoration shall be
subject to her husband, her

212
00:13:04,520 –> 00:13:07,600
restoration.
So here you see, the same thing

213
00:13:07,600 –> 00:13:12,720
applies unto thee.
Cane, shall the restoration of

214
00:13:12,840 –> 00:13:17,960
Abel be subject unto zoo, if you
do that which is right?

215
00:13:18,600 –> 00:13:22,880
And so Abel is being advised
here to go and offer that sin

216
00:13:22,880 –> 00:13:25,680
offering, the sin offering that
couched at the door.

217
00:13:25,880 –> 00:13:29,040
And if he would do that, then he
would be elevated into the

218
00:13:29,040 –> 00:13:32,360
position that he heard
originally, and Abel would be

219
00:13:32,360 –> 00:13:35,720
subject unto him.
But that was not pleasing to

220
00:13:35,720 –> 00:13:38,480
cane.
He was not prepared to do that.

221
00:13:38,800 –> 00:13:40,800
He was not a man to humble
himself.

222
00:13:41,160 –> 00:13:43,880
He was a man who wanted
everything his own way.

223
00:13:44,080 –> 00:13:48,040
His very name indicates that the
word cane itself means

224
00:13:48,040 –> 00:13:51,320
acquisition or gain.
He wants something and he’s

225
00:13:51,320 –> 00:13:54,400
going to have it his own way,
and that’s a terrible thing.

226
00:13:54,600 –> 00:13:57,280
And remember that.
This is all developing out of

227
00:13:57,280 –> 00:14:00,280
the family of God.
Remember that this is part of

228
00:14:00,280 –> 00:14:04,240
the one family and we too can be
susceptible to this sort of

229
00:14:04,240 –> 00:14:06,840
influence.
And believe me, from my own

230
00:14:06,840 –> 00:14:10,080
personal experience of ecclesial
life time.

231
00:14:10,200 –> 00:14:14,720
And time and time again,
personalities in in, in, in

232
00:14:14,720 –> 00:14:20,360
intervene to make this situation
1 of tragedy within the ecclesia

233
00:14:20,360 –> 00:14:24,120
of God.
Now we read in verse 8 that Cain

234
00:14:24,120 –> 00:14:27,640
talked with Abel his brother.
We’re not told what he said to

235
00:14:27,640 –> 00:14:30,840
Abel his brother.
The subdued version does render

236
00:14:30,840 –> 00:14:36,000
that and says, Cain said unto
Abel his brother, let us go out

237
00:14:36,000 –> 00:14:39,520
into the field.
So you see, Cain speaks to Abel

238
00:14:39,520 –> 00:14:42,480
instead of speaking to God, and
he says, let us come out of the

239
00:14:42,480 –> 00:14:45,240
field somewhere where no one can
see us.

240
00:14:45,480 –> 00:14:48,160
And when he took him out of the
field, of course, he rose up

241
00:14:48,400 –> 00:14:51,480
against his brother Abel and
slew him.

242
00:14:52,480 –> 00:14:55,160
He slew him.
So here was death.

243
00:14:55,280 –> 00:14:58,440
He wasn’t prepared to slay an
animal, but he was prepared to

244
00:14:58,440 –> 00:15:02,520
slay his brother.
He wasn’t prepared to submit to

245
00:15:02,520 –> 00:15:06,200
Almighty God, but he was
prepared to destroy his brother

246
00:15:06,360 –> 00:15:08,200
that he might have the
preeminence.

247
00:15:08,800 –> 00:15:12,440
And of course this is typical of
what happened in the days of

248
00:15:12,520 –> 00:15:16,840
Jesus Christ, because Jesus
Christ, of course is the anti

249
00:15:16,840 –> 00:15:19,640
typical Abel.
We’re told that in the book of

250
00:15:19,640 –> 00:15:25,160
Hebrews.
And as Cain slew Abel, so the

251
00:15:25,600 –> 00:15:30,200
Jewish people of Christ, they
slew him and they became, as it

252
00:15:30,200 –> 00:15:35,280
were, the anti type of Cain.
Yahweh said to Cain, where is

253
00:15:35,280 –> 00:15:37,640
Abel thy brother?
And he said, I know neither am I

254
00:15:37,640 –> 00:15:40,440
my brother’s keeper.
Of course he’s his brother’s

255
00:15:40,440 –> 00:15:42,520
keeper.
There’s a mere evasion that he

256
00:15:42,520 –> 00:15:47,040
is saying here, and their voice
goes on to say, What has thou

257
00:15:47,040 –> 00:15:49,600
done?
The voice of thy brother’s blood

258
00:15:49,600 –> 00:15:53,680
cryeth under me from the ground.
It crieth under me from the

259
00:15:53,680 –> 00:15:56,360
ground.
The word blood there, as you

260
00:15:56,360 –> 00:15:59,840
notice in the margin of your
Bible, is in the plural.

261
00:16:00,360 –> 00:16:04,280
The voice of thy brother’s
bloods, plural, cryeth unto.

262
00:16:04,440 –> 00:16:09,080
Me from the ground.
Because you see, in cueing Abel,

263
00:16:10,280 –> 00:16:13,360
Cain had virtually destroyed his
posterity.

264
00:16:14,880 –> 00:16:19,440
And when you go to the 53rd
chapter of Isaiah, you have

265
00:16:19,440 –> 00:16:23,960
Isaiah in predicting the death
of Jesus Christ, virtually

266
00:16:23,960 –> 00:16:26,040
speaking in similar terms to
that.

267
00:16:26,520 –> 00:16:31,160
Because in that 53rd chapter of
Isaiah and we read in verse 8,

268
00:16:31,160 –> 00:16:33,480
he was taken from prison and
from judgment.

269
00:16:33,760 –> 00:16:35,920
And who shall declare his
generation?

270
00:16:36,280 –> 00:16:38,680
For he was cut off out of the
land of the living.

271
00:16:38,920 –> 00:16:41,840
For the transgression of my
people shall he be stricken?

272
00:16:42,240 –> 00:16:44,200
Who shall declare his
generation?

273
00:16:44,760 –> 00:16:47,360
So the Jewish people thought
that when they slew the Lord

274
00:16:47,440 –> 00:16:52,160
Jesus Christ, that got rid of
him and his posterity.

275
00:16:52,680 –> 00:16:56,000
We are told in John’s Gospel
that they were determined that

276
00:16:56,000 –> 00:16:59,440
not only Jesus would die, but
the apostles as well, His

277
00:16:59,440 –> 00:17:02,760
friends would die with him.
And so you see, as far as the

278
00:17:02,760 –> 00:17:07,440
Lord Jesus Christ was concerned,
when they slew him, the question

279
00:17:07,440 –> 00:17:09,440
was, who shall declare his
generation?

280
00:17:09,960 –> 00:17:13,680
But the same capital of
Scripture says He shall see the

281
00:17:13,680 –> 00:17:16,240
travail of his soul and shall be
satisfied.

282
00:17:17,000 –> 00:17:20,880
And we read concerning that in
verse verse 10.

283
00:17:21,359 –> 00:17:26,720
He shall see his seed, He shall
prolong his days, and the

284
00:17:26,720 –> 00:17:29,040
pleasure of Yahweh shall prosper
in his hand.

285
00:17:29,440 –> 00:17:34,800
They said he has cut off, we are
rid of him who shall declare his

286
00:17:34,800 –> 00:17:39,080
generation.
But Jesus Christ saw his seed.

287
00:17:39,320 –> 00:17:42,880
There is the generation, and we
hope to form part of that

288
00:17:42,880 –> 00:17:48,320
generation, part of that seed.
So with Abel, the voice of the

289
00:17:48,320 –> 00:17:52,480
Angel said to Cain, the voice of
my brothers bloods, his

290
00:17:52,480 –> 00:17:57,760
posterity cries out to me from
the ground, and he will

291
00:17:57,760 –> 00:18:02,840
vindicate Abel and his seed.
And we’re going to find out at

292
00:18:02,840 –> 00:18:06,320
the latter part of this chapter
that Seth was appointed instead

293
00:18:06,320 –> 00:18:11,400
of Abel.
So the slaughter of of Abel by

294
00:18:11,400 –> 00:18:15,880
Cain did not affect what Cain
desired of it, nor did the

295
00:18:15,880 –> 00:18:19,840
slaughter of Jesus Christ by the
Jewish people.

296
00:18:20,200 –> 00:18:24,920
It did not accomplish that which
they desired, because of course,

297
00:18:24,920 –> 00:18:29,480
as far as that was concerned,
the the the works of the truth

298
00:18:29,480 –> 00:18:33,320
continued on and prospered more
so after the death of Christ

299
00:18:33,440 –> 00:18:38,400
than ever it did before.
And so he is warning him that

300
00:18:38,400 –> 00:18:42,240
his brother’s blood’s flying to
me from the ground, And it cried

301
00:18:42,240 –> 00:18:46,520
unto him for vengeance.
Hebrew said, He being dead, yet

302
00:18:46,520 –> 00:18:48,720
speaketh.
And it didn’t matter that Abel

303
00:18:48,720 –> 00:18:53,360
was dead, came out to deal with
Almighty God, and therefore his

304
00:18:53,360 –> 00:18:56,480
blood tried from the ground, and
he being dead, yet speaketh.

305
00:18:57,400 –> 00:19:00,680
And we quoted I think from
Hebrews 12 yesterday, where the

306
00:19:00,680 –> 00:19:03,480
blood of Jesus Christ speaketh
greater things than the blood of

307
00:19:03,520 –> 00:19:05,440
Abel.
Because in here there was

308
00:19:05,440 –> 00:19:08,640
vengeance, but there there was
mercy and forgiveness.

309
00:19:09,360 –> 00:19:14,480
Now we want to very carefully
follow as far as these following

310
00:19:14,480 –> 00:19:18,360
verses are concerned.
We want to very carefully follow

311
00:19:18,480 –> 00:19:23,160
the punishment that was laid
upon Cain, and we want to see

312
00:19:23,160 –> 00:19:28,400
how this foreshadowed the very
punishment that’s been laid upon

313
00:19:28,400 –> 00:19:31,720
the Jewish people who crucified
the Lord.

314
00:19:32,160 –> 00:19:36,120
And then we will see how Jesus
Christ quoted this.

315
00:19:36,240 –> 00:19:39,200
In order to.
Warn the Jewish people of the

316
00:19:39,200 –> 00:19:42,080
consequences of their action
against him.

317
00:19:43,640 –> 00:19:47,520
In other words, we have here a
foreshadowing of the death of

318
00:19:47,600 –> 00:19:50,760
Jesus Christ.
And not only that, but of the

319
00:19:50,760 –> 00:19:54,440
punishment that was laid upon
days who put the Lord Jesus

320
00:19:54,440 –> 00:19:58,480
Christ to death.
And so we read here in verse 11.

321
00:19:59,000 –> 00:20:00,840
Here’s the first part of the
punishment.

322
00:20:00,840 –> 00:20:04,560
I came now I cursed from the
earth.

323
00:20:05,320 –> 00:20:08,640
It’s an additional curse to that
which is recorded in the 3rd

324
00:20:08,640 –> 00:20:12,080
chapter, verse 19.
Thou art cursed from the earth,

325
00:20:12,080 –> 00:20:15,080
which hath hope in her mouth to
receive thy brother’s blood from

326
00:20:15,080 –> 00:20:17,800
thy hand.
When thou tillest the ground, it

327
00:20:17,800 –> 00:20:20,200
shall not henceforth yield unto
thee her string.

328
00:20:20,760 –> 00:20:25,120
A fugitive and a wanderer.
A vagaban means wanderer.

329
00:20:25,320 –> 00:20:29,840
Shalt thou be in the earth?
A fugitive and a wanderer.

330
00:20:30,400 –> 00:20:34,920
So that as far as Cain was
concerned, he would get no

331
00:20:34,920 –> 00:20:39,800
satisfaction from the soil.
He was previously a pillar of

332
00:20:39,800 –> 00:20:43,840
the soil.
Now the soil is not going to not

333
00:20:43,840 –> 00:20:47,480
going to reveal its greatness to
him and he’s going to be a

334
00:20:47,480 –> 00:20:50,720
fugitive.
People are going to hunt him and

335
00:20:50,720 –> 00:20:53,280
he’s going to be a wanderer.
He’s going to wander from place

336
00:20:53,280 –> 00:20:55,960
to place.
Now consider the anti type of

337
00:20:56,000 –> 00:20:57,400
this.
As far as the Jewish people are

338
00:20:57,400 –> 00:21:00,080
concerned.
When the Jews were in the land,

339
00:21:00,080 –> 00:21:05,200
they were a rural community.
The land revealed to the land

340
00:21:05,200 –> 00:21:07,160
that produced its fruits for
them.

341
00:21:07,880 –> 00:21:11,560
Once the Jewish people were
driven from the land in 1870,

342
00:21:11,920 –> 00:21:15,360
and they were driven into all
parts of the earth, no longer

343
00:21:15,360 –> 00:21:18,720
did they become a rural people.
They had to enter into other

344
00:21:18,840 –> 00:21:21,480
occupations.
They become essentially

345
00:21:21,640 –> 00:21:25,240
associated with economics, they
become money lenders and so

346
00:21:25,240 –> 00:21:27,080
forth.
Not that they wanted it that

347
00:21:27,080 –> 00:21:30,240
way, but the laws of the land.
Compelled them to do that.

348
00:21:30,800 –> 00:21:33,080
And then also the land in
different countries where they

349
00:21:33,080 –> 00:21:35,320
were driven legislated against
them.

350
00:21:35,480 –> 00:21:37,760
They weren’t allowed certain
occupations.

351
00:21:37,840 –> 00:21:39,680
They weren’t allowed the Puma
soil.

352
00:21:40,200 –> 00:21:43,480
The legislation of countries in
Europe, in Poland, in Germany,

353
00:21:43,480 –> 00:21:47,440
in Spain and other places, they
legislated against the Jewish

354
00:21:47,440 –> 00:21:50,760
people so that they weren’t
permitted to till the soil that

355
00:21:50,760 –> 00:21:53,680
they wanted to.
In other words, here we have the

356
00:21:53,680 –> 00:21:57,360
anti type of of this.
And why did they legislate

357
00:21:57,360 –> 00:22:00,320
against the Jewish people?
Because they said they crucified

358
00:22:00,320 –> 00:22:03,440
the Messiah and that charge was
leveled against the Jewish

359
00:22:03,440 –> 00:22:07,400
people and they suffered in the
same way as the pain.

360
00:22:08,280 –> 00:22:10,800
Not only so, but they became
fugitives.

361
00:22:11,080 –> 00:22:13,840
They were driven from country to
country as fugitives.

362
00:22:14,040 –> 00:22:17,840
There were 100 like wild beasts
and it’s very, very interesting

363
00:22:17,840 –> 00:22:21,440
to read the history of Israel
after they were driven from the

364
00:22:21,440 –> 00:22:26,160
land in 18 seventies. 18701870.
Let me get this right.

365
00:22:26,400 –> 00:22:28,760
They were driven from the land
in 1870.

366
00:22:29,320 –> 00:22:33,280
After that, you know, they set
up their authority in different

367
00:22:33,280 –> 00:22:35,000
parts of the land.
And it’s a very, very

368
00:22:35,000 –> 00:22:40,520
interesting history because they
had their patriarch of Babylon.

369
00:22:41,200 –> 00:22:44,120
And from Babylon there was
issued to the Jewish community

370
00:22:44,120 –> 00:22:46,960
all over the world directives
what they should do when the

371
00:22:46,960 –> 00:22:50,840
patriarch of Babylon failed at
the the headquarters of the

372
00:22:50,840 –> 00:22:53,840
Jewish people went to Spain and
the different parts of the world

373
00:22:54,000 –> 00:22:57,760
right through the centuries.
But they became fugitives and

374
00:22:57,760 –> 00:23:02,080
Wanderers in the earth, exactly
like Cain did, because he slew

375
00:23:02,200 –> 00:23:08,760
Abel and they slew Jesus Christ.
Now Cain says my punishment is

376
00:23:08,760 –> 00:23:14,120
greater than I can bear.
It’s greater than he can bear,

377
00:23:14,600 –> 00:23:17,400
and therefore a sense of
protection was granted under

378
00:23:17,400 –> 00:23:20,760
him.
Verse 14 says Thou hast driven

379
00:23:20,760 –> 00:23:24,600
me out this day from the face of
the earth and from my face shall

380
00:23:24,600 –> 00:23:28,720
I be hid, and I shall be a
fugitive and a vagabone in the

381
00:23:28,720 –> 00:23:30,680
earth.
And it shall come to the past

382
00:23:30,680 –> 00:23:32,920
that everyone that findeth me
shall slaves.

383
00:23:33,560 –> 00:23:37,920
Which was true enough as far as
any was concerned, and also true

384
00:23:37,920 –> 00:23:43,040
as far as as well as concerned.
Hath God cut off these people?

385
00:23:43,040 –> 00:23:47,400
Said Paul.
And he went on to point out that

386
00:23:47,400 –> 00:23:51,880
he had, of course, broken off
the branches from the good olive

387
00:23:51,880 –> 00:23:58,000
tree and grafted in the Gentile
branches, and Israel was driven

388
00:23:58,000 –> 00:24:02,960
away, as it were, from the
center of worship in Jerusalem.

389
00:24:03,640 –> 00:24:05,560
And.
Their state, as far as that is

390
00:24:05,560 –> 00:24:10,000
concerned, was described by Paul
as blindness in part of happened

391
00:24:10,000 –> 00:24:13,080
to Israel until the fullness of
the Gentiles come in.

392
00:24:13,840 –> 00:24:17,480
And the fullness of the Gentiles
means the fullness of the those

393
00:24:17,480 –> 00:24:20,320
that are going to be saved from
among the Gentiles.

394
00:24:20,600 –> 00:24:24,160
And until that time blindness in
part of heaven to Israel.

395
00:24:24,520 –> 00:24:27,200
And that’s the state of the
Jewish people to this very day.

396
00:24:27,720 –> 00:24:29,880
A remarkable fulfilment of
prophecy.

397
00:24:30,160 –> 00:24:33,040
Of all the prophecies that we
have in relation to the Jewish

398
00:24:33,040 –> 00:24:35,680
people, I consider this to be
the greatest.

399
00:24:36,120 –> 00:24:38,000
The blindness in part of happy
event.

400
00:24:38,240 –> 00:24:40,720
Look, they’re back in the land
on all sides.

401
00:24:40,720 –> 00:24:42,960
The evidences of God’s
handiwork.

402
00:24:43,200 –> 00:24:46,880
They have it in archaeology, the
guidance of Almighty God in the

403
00:24:46,880 –> 00:24:48,720
past.
They have it in the fact that

404
00:24:48,800 –> 00:24:52,240
they are there in the land and
yet there is a sense of

405
00:24:52,240 –> 00:24:55,640
blindness there.
Make no mistake about this, that

406
00:24:55,640 –> 00:24:58,960
as far as the Jews in the land
are concerned, I believe that

407
00:24:58,960 –> 00:25:02,240
they something in that land does
something to them for their

408
00:25:02,240 –> 00:25:06,000
benefit.
They are in large measure are

409
00:25:06,000 –> 00:25:09,880
religious people, no doubt about
that, as far as their own

410
00:25:09,880 –> 00:25:13,880
religion is concerned.
I took a group once to a hotel

411
00:25:13,880 –> 00:25:18,720
in in in Israel, and we were
there for the evening meal and

412
00:25:18,720 –> 00:25:21,720
we were all sitting down at the
table and the proprietor of the

413
00:25:21,720 –> 00:25:23,920
hotel came to me and he said,
are you the cheerleader?

414
00:25:23,920 –> 00:25:26,480
I said, yes, he says we’re about
to serve meals.

415
00:25:26,480 –> 00:25:28,640
I said that’s fine.
He said, are you going to give

416
00:25:28,640 –> 00:25:33,240
things publicly or not?
Now that was in a hotel in, in

417
00:25:33,240 –> 00:25:36,400
Israel, but there was a
blindness in part of heaven to

418
00:25:36,400 –> 00:25:38,640
them.
I will remember on one occasion

419
00:25:38,640 –> 00:25:40,560
we were travelling down towards
the Dead Sea.

420
00:25:41,320 –> 00:25:45,720
We’re with a guide, our guide, a
very fine Israeli who was a

421
00:25:45,720 –> 00:25:48,560
really just you.
And we’re going down to the Dead

422
00:25:48,560 –> 00:25:52,000
Sea and he wants to impress upon
us that there’s no living thing

423
00:25:52,000 –> 00:25:54,960
in the Dead Sea.
So he says there’s the Dead Sea,

424
00:25:55,120 –> 00:25:58,240
there are the hills of Moab,
nothing lives in the Dead Sea.

425
00:25:58,720 –> 00:26:01,480
And so he said to impress us, he
said, I’ll tell you a little

426
00:26:01,480 –> 00:26:04,640
story about this.
The other day he said, I was

427
00:26:04,640 –> 00:26:08,480
down at the Dead Sea.
And he said, I saw a mad Jew

428
00:26:08,560 –> 00:26:11,960
fishing in the Dead Sea and
there’s no fish there.

429
00:26:11,960 –> 00:26:16,840
Nothing lives in the Dead Sea.
So I went up to this stupid Jew

430
00:26:16,840 –> 00:26:20,120
and I said to him, what are you
doing here?

431
00:26:20,120 –> 00:26:22,040
And he said, I’m fishing in the
Dead Sea.

432
00:26:22,200 –> 00:26:24,480
And he said, you won’t get any
fish in the Dead Sea.

433
00:26:24,520 –> 00:26:27,000
Oh well you never know, said
this fishing man.

434
00:26:27,240 –> 00:26:29,080
You might get something in the
Dead Sea.

435
00:26:29,720 –> 00:26:33,480
And the guide says look, I bet
you 5 LB that you can’t get

436
00:26:33,480 –> 00:26:35,680
anything in the Dead Sea.
All righty, he says, I’ll take

437
00:26:35,680 –> 00:26:38,160
the bet.
Then he wound up the the line

438
00:26:38,200 –> 00:26:41,440
and there’s a fish on the end of
the line, the guide says.

439
00:26:41,480 –> 00:26:48,000
How many have you caught today?
He says you’re the 5th, so

440
00:26:48,000 –> 00:26:49,880
you’ll see.
We’re moving along the Dead Sea

441
00:26:49,880 –> 00:26:53,160
and we’re going up on the on the
western side of the Dead Sea

442
00:26:53,160 –> 00:26:56,440
towards Masada.
And I spoke to the guy and I

443
00:26:56,440 –> 00:27:01,200
said, now Luke, wait a moment.
I said, I don’t know, that Jew

444
00:27:01,200 –> 00:27:04,000
might have been as mad as you
say he was, because it says in

445
00:27:04,000 –> 00:27:06,760
the Bible you can fish in the
Dead Sea.

446
00:27:07,600 –> 00:27:10,800
He says it does not.
I said it does.

447
00:27:11,040 –> 00:27:14,680
I said it says that they will
fish in the Dead Sea rather.

448
00:27:15,000 –> 00:27:16,200
And now he.
Says it doesn’t.

449
00:27:16,200 –> 00:27:18,920
I said it does.
He says, where does it do that?

450
00:27:18,920 –> 00:27:22,040
I said in in the 47th chapter of
Ezekiel.

451
00:27:22,240 –> 00:27:25,560
So he had his Hebrew Bible, and
he turned up to the 47th chapter

452
00:27:25,560 –> 00:27:28,440
of the Hebrew, and he’s reading
it there about features at

453
00:27:28,440 –> 00:27:32,600
Engetti, and he’s talking to the
driver in Hebrew, and they’re

454
00:27:32,600 –> 00:27:35,640
discussing this together.
And then he closes his book and

455
00:27:35,640 –> 00:27:38,280
he turns around to me and he
says, look, Mr. Mansfield, when

456
00:27:38,280 –> 00:27:41,120
you come to this land, you
really ought to know something.

457
00:27:41,120 –> 00:27:42,720
About the.
Bible, he said.

458
00:27:43,000 –> 00:27:46,120
You really ought to read it with
understanding, he said.

459
00:27:46,120 –> 00:27:49,360
And if you don’t, you make these
awful mistakes that you’re

460
00:27:49,360 –> 00:27:50,920
making.
Now, this is before all the

461
00:27:50,920 –> 00:27:53,760
Christadelphians.
You make these awful mistakes.

462
00:27:53,760 –> 00:27:57,000
He said that 47th chapter of
Ezekiel, that’s a part of a

463
00:27:57,000 –> 00:28:00,400
prophecy that won’t happen till
Messiahs in the earth.

464
00:28:00,560 –> 00:28:03,160
There’s going to be a great
earthquake in Jerusalem and

465
00:28:03,160 –> 00:28:06,320
streams of water will flow out
and tug down into the Dead Sea

466
00:28:06,480 –> 00:28:08,200
and heal the waters of the Dead
Sea.

467
00:28:08,240 –> 00:28:09,640
That’s when they’re going to
finish.

468
00:28:09,800 –> 00:28:12,160
Understand.
I said, yeah, yes, I understand.

469
00:28:12,360 –> 00:28:15,320
See.
But when it came to Jesus Christ

470
00:28:15,320 –> 00:28:18,960
and him crucified blind as a
bat, if you know what that

471
00:28:18,960 –> 00:28:23,200
means, which I don’t, but it’s a
nice saying is blind blindness

472
00:28:23,200 –> 00:28:26,360
had part of happened to him.
Now you see here we have the

473
00:28:26,360 –> 00:28:28,280
same thing as far as Cain is
concerned.

474
00:28:28,480 –> 00:28:30,560
He’d driven out from the
presence of Yahweh.

475
00:28:30,560 –> 00:28:35,200
That’s been the place where his
place of worship has been set

476
00:28:35,200 –> 00:28:36,920
up.
There was a place where his

477
00:28:36,920 –> 00:28:40,280
worship was set up and Cain was
driven from that place of

478
00:28:40,280 –> 00:28:42,160
worship.
And that is what he says.

479
00:28:42,160 –> 00:28:46,400
From thy face shall I be hid?
We never hid from the face of

480
00:28:46,400 –> 00:28:49,600
God, but it means there from the
presence of God.

481
00:28:49,840 –> 00:28:53,840
It’s like Jonah, he tried to get
away from the presence of God.

482
00:28:53,840 –> 00:28:56,920
So he went off the Tarsus, which
is Great Britain, you see.

483
00:28:56,920 –> 00:28:59,960
He had nothing to do, of course,
with our friends from England,

484
00:29:00,120 –> 00:29:02,800
that that would be a right
abandoned from the presence of

485
00:29:02,800 –> 00:29:06,000
God.
But this is the the point here.

486
00:29:06,080 –> 00:29:09,240
From thy face shall I be hid,
and I shall be a fugitive and a

487
00:29:09,240 –> 00:29:11,880
vagabone in the earth, and it
shall count the past that

488
00:29:11,880 –> 00:29:13,920
everyone that findeth me shall
slay me.

489
00:29:14,120 –> 00:29:18,520
True of a Jewish people, true of
Cain on this case, and therefore

490
00:29:18,520 –> 00:29:26,800
a sense of protection in the
mercy of God because of the

491
00:29:26,840 –> 00:29:29,240
background of things is given
unto Cain.

492
00:29:30,920 –> 00:29:36,760
A sense of a measure of mercy
through the goodness of God,

493
00:29:37,720 –> 00:29:42,040
because they are beloved for the
Father’s sake, is given to the

494
00:29:42,040 –> 00:29:45,360
Jewish people.
No one can touch them with

495
00:29:45,360 –> 00:29:48,600
impunity.
No one could touch Cain with

496
00:29:48,600 –> 00:29:54,040
impunity, and so vengeance shall
be taken on him sevenfold, says

497
00:29:54,040 –> 00:29:59,280
God, if anyone touches Cain.
And Yahweh, we read, set a mark

498
00:29:59,280 –> 00:30:04,000
upon Cain, lest Eddie, finding
him, shall kill him.

499
00:30:05,000 –> 00:30:07,960
So there was a sense of
protection placed upon Cain.

500
00:30:08,640 –> 00:30:12,600
There was a mark placed on Cain
so that anyone that saw him

501
00:30:13,160 –> 00:30:18,520
would know that there was the
protection of God extended to

502
00:30:18,520 –> 00:30:21,880
him.
Now, as far as the Jewish people

503
00:30:21,880 –> 00:30:24,320
are concerned, the same thing
occurs.

504
00:30:24,760 –> 00:30:27,720
He, the curse of him will be
cursed.

505
00:30:28,040 –> 00:30:31,000
And that has happened down
through the centuries.

506
00:30:31,080 –> 00:30:35,920
Where’s Hitler’s regime today?
Where’s the Czarist organization

507
00:30:35,920 –> 00:30:38,680
today?
Now that was foreshadowed in the

508
00:30:38,760 –> 00:30:41,200
punishment that was placed upon
Cain.

509
00:30:42,640 –> 00:30:46,240
Wherever you go and you meet
Jewish people, you know they’re

510
00:30:46,240 –> 00:30:49,240
Jewish people.
They might like to evade the

511
00:30:49,240 –> 00:30:51,720
point.
They may claim that they’re

512
00:30:51,880 –> 00:30:55,040
English or they may claim that
they’re Italians, or they may

513
00:30:55,040 –> 00:30:57,080
claim that they’re even
Australians.

514
00:30:57,440 –> 00:31:01,840
They fall so low.
But nevertheless they are Jews.

515
00:31:01,840 –> 00:31:05,240
And you know they are Jews.
You go to the land of Israel and

516
00:31:05,240 –> 00:31:08,720
there’s villages that are Jews
that came from India.

517
00:31:08,720 –> 00:31:11,080
They look like Indians, but
they’re Jewish people and you

518
00:31:11,080 –> 00:31:13,840
know it.
I had a humanoid Jew as a guide

519
00:31:13,840 –> 00:31:17,160
for me to take me up to the top
of Mount Sinai, and he looked

520
00:31:17,160 –> 00:31:19,960
like an Arab, but he was a Jew
and you knew he was a Jew.

521
00:31:20,440 –> 00:31:24,440
There’s something there that
that that that is in this.

522
00:31:24,440 –> 00:31:28,680
That is clearly evident that the
Jew is a Jew at the age.

523
00:31:28,680 –> 00:31:30,600
So that man is a Jew and you
know it.

524
00:31:30,800 –> 00:31:34,120
There’s a distinguishing mark
upon him, and that is marked

525
00:31:34,120 –> 00:31:37,480
upon Cain.
Not that God is interested in US

526
00:31:37,480 –> 00:31:40,600
knowing what’s going to happen
to Cain, but He is interested in

527
00:31:40,600 –> 00:31:45,280
US to show us that what is being
done there will be repeated in

528
00:31:45,280 –> 00:31:48,200
history.
And so there’s a mark set upon

529
00:31:48,200 –> 00:31:52,160
Cain, and Cain went out, we
read, from the presence of

530
00:31:52,160 –> 00:31:54,840
Yahweh.
He departed from that place on

531
00:31:54,840 –> 00:31:57,800
the east of the garden where the
Tabernacle was set up and the

532
00:31:57,800 –> 00:32:01,960
centre of worship was found, and
he was sent out in all parts of

533
00:32:01,960 –> 00:32:03,720
the earth.
He became a fugitive and a

534
00:32:03,720 –> 00:32:06,960
wanderer.
Exactly what happened in AD 70,

535
00:32:07,320 –> 00:32:12,160
Exactly what happened in AD 70.
He was sent from the centre of

536
00:32:12,160 –> 00:32:17,400
worship and we have, as far as
Cana is concerned, he dwelt in

537
00:32:17,400 –> 00:32:21,480
the land of nod, and the word
nod means exile.

538
00:32:21,920 –> 00:32:24,520
So it dwelt in the land of
exile.

539
00:32:24,760 –> 00:32:28,200
And that’s exactly where the
Jewish people have dwelt since

540
00:32:28,200 –> 00:32:32,880
then, in the land of exile on
the east of Eden.

541
00:32:33,480 –> 00:32:36,400
So you see, you take all the
various points that of this

542
00:32:36,400 –> 00:32:41,480
punishment, as far as Cana is
concerned #1 the earth will not

543
00:32:42,320 –> 00:32:48,000
respond #2 He would be a
wanderer #3 cut off from the

544
00:32:48,000 –> 00:32:53,240
presence of Yahweh #4.
He would be oppressed #5A mark

545
00:32:53,240 –> 00:32:56,720
of distinction number six.
People would try to kill him.

546
00:32:56,920 –> 00:33:01,280
Now let’s come over to the 23rd
chapter of Matthew and read what

547
00:33:01,280 –> 00:33:05,080
Jesus Christ told the generation
of Jews, that we’re about to

548
00:33:05,080 –> 00:33:08,720
slay him.
And so in the 23rd chapter of

549
00:33:08,720 –> 00:33:20,960
Matthew, and at verse 3033, the
Lord says, Ye serpents, they

550
00:33:20,960 –> 00:33:25,600
were the seed of the serpent, ye
generation of vapors.

551
00:33:27,680 –> 00:33:30,960
Wherefore, behold, I send before
you prophets of wise men and

552
00:33:30,960 –> 00:33:34,560
scribes, and some of them ye
shall kill and crucify like

553
00:33:34,560 –> 00:33:37,240
Cain.
Some of them you shall scourge

554
00:33:37,240 –> 00:33:40,920
in your synagogues and persecute
them from city to city, that

555
00:33:40,920 –> 00:33:45,400
upon you may come all the
righteous blood shed upon the

556
00:33:45,400 –> 00:33:46,960
earth.
From the blood of righteous

557
00:33:46,960 –> 00:33:50,880
Abel.
Upon you will come the

558
00:33:50,880 –> 00:33:55,440
punishment that was exactly
against Cain, because he slew

559
00:33:55,440 –> 00:33:58,480
Abel.
Now, those Jewish people could

560
00:33:58,480 –> 00:34:02,120
have read the fourth chapter of
Genesis and they could have

561
00:34:02,120 –> 00:34:05,720
understood exactly what’s going
to happen to them, that they

562
00:34:05,720 –> 00:34:08,679
would become, as it were,
Wanderers, that they would

563
00:34:08,679 –> 00:34:11,280
become fugitives, that they
would be driven.

564
00:34:11,280 –> 00:34:15,400
From the land.
That they would suffer and

565
00:34:15,400 –> 00:34:18,679
there’d be an exile from
Almighty God whilst they

566
00:34:18,679 –> 00:34:22,040
remained of that condition.
They didn’t have to remain in

567
00:34:22,040 –> 00:34:23,920
that condition.
It’s a warning that Jesus is

568
00:34:23,920 –> 00:34:26,360
issuing to them.
That the Lord.

569
00:34:26,360 –> 00:34:29,560
Jesus Christ there was taking
hold of this 4th chapter of

570
00:34:29,560 –> 00:34:33,239
Genesis and he’s applying it to
the Jewish people and warning

571
00:34:33,239 –> 00:34:34,560
them what’s going to happen to
them.

572
00:34:35,159 –> 00:34:38,400
So you see, here we have the
first advent of the Lord Jesus

573
00:34:38,400 –> 00:34:42,840
Christ, and the consequence of
them denying the Lord Jesus

574
00:34:42,840 –> 00:34:47,120
Christ is right, and the
punishment that was exacted upon

575
00:34:47,120 –> 00:34:51,320
them foreshadowed here before
there is a Jewish nation

576
00:34:52,159 –> 00:34:54,920
foreshadowed at the very epoch.
Of.

577
00:34:54,920 –> 00:34:57,800
Creation that there may be laid
down the.

578
00:34:57,800 –> 00:34:59,800
Principles above which God would
work.

579
00:35:00,320 –> 00:35:02,800
Right until the establishment of
the Kingdom of God.

580
00:35:04,320 –> 00:35:08,040
Now we go on to the life of
Cain, that to the to the sons of

581
00:35:08,040 –> 00:35:10,400
Cain.
We read in verse 16 that Cain

582
00:35:10,400 –> 00:35:12,840
went out from the presence of
Yahweh and dwelt on the east of

583
00:35:12,840 –> 00:35:15,280
Nod and the land of Nod on the
east of Eden.

584
00:35:15,680 –> 00:35:18,800
And Cain knew his wife and she
conceived the bear Enoch, and he

585
00:35:18,800 –> 00:35:22,120
builded a city and called the
name of the city after the name

586
00:35:22,120 –> 00:35:24,440
of his son Enoch.
Very important.

587
00:35:24,880 –> 00:35:27,760
That’s exactly what has happened
since the Jewish people were

588
00:35:27,760 –> 00:35:32,160
driven from their land in 1870.
Exactly what has happened, and

589
00:35:32,160 –> 00:35:35,400
the Book of Revelation tells us
that in the Book of Revelation

590
00:35:35,400 –> 00:35:38,560
you have a city and it’s called
Babylon the Great, and it’s a

591
00:35:38,560 –> 00:35:42,360
city of religion.
And this city here that Cain

592
00:35:42,360 –> 00:35:46,880
built, that kind of that city
likewise was another form of

593
00:35:46,880 –> 00:35:49,000
religion.
In apostasy to the truth.

594
00:35:49,240 –> 00:35:53,160
The name of the city is Enoch.
That name means dedicated.

595
00:35:53,360 –> 00:35:56,800
It was a dedicated city.
It was a center of worship.

596
00:35:56,960 –> 00:36:00,880
It was Babylon the Great of the
days of Cain, and he said his

597
00:36:00,880 –> 00:36:03,680
son there, his son is going to
be high priest.

598
00:36:03,800 –> 00:36:08,360
So here we have the Pope of that
particular time in the son of

599
00:36:08,360 –> 00:36:14,440
Cain, the murderer, the one that
rejected Abel.

600
00:36:15,280 –> 00:36:20,640
He becomes the high priest of
this this city of worship in

601
00:36:20,640 –> 00:36:24,480
apostasy from Almighty God.
And we go to the Book of

602
00:36:24,480 –> 00:36:27,720
Revelation, we find Babylon the
Great, and we find the papacy

603
00:36:27,720 –> 00:36:31,160
there established there.
And we find that that city is a

604
00:36:31,160 –> 00:36:36,440
city of dedication as well as it
was in the case of this city of

605
00:36:36,480 –> 00:36:39,040
Cain.
And you know, here’s an

606
00:36:39,040 –> 00:36:41,960
interesting thing.
There were 12 apostles, weren’t

607
00:36:41,960 –> 00:36:44,120
there?
And most of them were fishermen

608
00:36:44,120 –> 00:36:47,120
and they were Galileans.
But there was one of them that

609
00:36:47,120 –> 00:36:49,200
wasn’t a fisherman and wasn’t a
Galilean.

610
00:36:49,400 –> 00:36:53,400
And he was Judith Iscariot.
And the name Judith Iscariot

611
00:36:53,400 –> 00:36:56,680
means praise the man of the
city.

612
00:36:57,800 –> 00:37:03,000
Praise the man of the city.
Strange name for an apostle to

613
00:37:03,000 –> 00:37:05,800
hand.
And he was a city dweller.

614
00:37:06,640 –> 00:37:10,880
And it wasn’t so much Jerusalem
as, of course, the city of

615
00:37:10,880 –> 00:37:14,360
apostasy.
Now, you see, you have a city

616
00:37:14,360 –> 00:37:16,000
here.
You have a city in the Book of

617
00:37:16,000 –> 00:37:20,000
Revelation, and that city
developed out of Cain, and that

618
00:37:20,000 –> 00:37:24,040
city in Revelation developed out
of an attitude like Cain, an

619
00:37:24,040 –> 00:37:26,760
attitude of violence against the
people of God.

620
00:37:27,040 –> 00:37:30,240
When that city was opened, there
was found in that city the blood

621
00:37:30,240 –> 00:37:34,280
of apostles and prophets and the
wise and the men that followed

622
00:37:34,280 –> 00:37:37,480
the Lord Jesus Christ.
We are told in the 80th chapter

623
00:37:37,480 –> 00:37:40,440
of the Revelation.
Here it when it was uncovered,

624
00:37:40,440 –> 00:37:43,560
it was full of blood, the blood
of the persecuted people.

625
00:37:44,120 –> 00:37:48,160
So you see, there is an exact
parallel or foreshadowing

626
00:37:48,360 –> 00:37:50,720
between what Kane did and what
we have in the Book of

627
00:37:50,720 –> 00:37:54,000
Revelation.
And when you come to consider

628
00:37:54,000 –> 00:37:58,880
this, you find that exactly what
happened in Genesis happened

629
00:37:58,880 –> 00:38:01,120
there.
How did the apostasy develop?

630
00:38:01,320 –> 00:38:05,280
Whence came the Roman Catholic
Church with all its mighty power

631
00:38:05,520 –> 00:38:08,960
and it’s persecuting fervor and
it’s bloodshed?

632
00:38:09,040 –> 00:38:14,480
Where did it arise from but the
ecclesia, the seeds of it were

633
00:38:14,480 –> 00:38:17,520
in the ecclesia.
The apostle Paul in the 20th

634
00:38:17,520 –> 00:38:21,040
chapter of Acts, and I think in
this verse 28, says of your own

635
00:38:21,040 –> 00:38:24,160
selves shall minimize speaking
perverse things.

636
00:38:24,600 –> 00:38:27,880
In the second of Timothy chapter
4, he says that the time would

637
00:38:27,880 –> 00:38:31,280
arise where they would no longer
listen to the truth, but with

638
00:38:31,280 –> 00:38:34,200
itching ears they would heed to
themselves teachers that would

639
00:38:34,200 –> 00:38:35,920
get tell them what they want to
hear.

640
00:38:36,400 –> 00:38:40,760
When the Lord Jesus Christ spoke
to the ecclesia at Thora Torah,

641
00:38:40,880 –> 00:38:45,040
he said this I have against you
that you tolerate you tolerate

642
00:38:45,160 –> 00:38:49,240
Jezebel in your midst, one that
will seduce the servants of God.

643
00:38:49,520 –> 00:38:54,360
When you come to the the 12th
chapter of the Revelation, you

644
00:38:54,360 –> 00:38:58,520
have the man’s sin arising, the
one that’s going to make

645
00:38:59,320 –> 00:39:02,000
so-called Christianity the state
religion.

646
00:39:02,440 –> 00:39:08,160
And he, it is represented as a
woman giving birth to a child,

647
00:39:08,760 –> 00:39:12,120
no longer the virgin, she’s
going to give birth to the

648
00:39:12,120 –> 00:39:13,760
child.
And that child’s going to be

649
00:39:13,760 –> 00:39:16,960
constant on the great.
And he came to power in the year

650
00:39:16,960 –> 00:39:21,680
313 AD, which is exactly 2. 180
years.

651
00:39:21,920 –> 00:39:26,920
After the first apostasy was
introduced to the 14th chapter

652
00:39:26,920 –> 00:39:33,640
of Acts, 280 years, the time
normally that is the period, a

653
00:39:33,640 –> 00:39:36,680
day for a year for the time
between conception and birth.

654
00:39:36,880 –> 00:39:41,360
And there was the birth and the
man sin of the of the Revelation

655
00:39:41,360 –> 00:39:43,240
chapter 12.
And then you have the

656
00:39:43,240 –> 00:39:47,000
development of the papacy as you
have it in Babylon the Great and

657
00:39:47,000 –> 00:39:51,320
the 18th chapter all developed.
All developed out of the

658
00:39:51,320 –> 00:39:54,840
ecclesia.
And such a minor thing, brethren

659
00:39:54,840 –> 00:39:59,640
and sisters, was that first
apostasy merely that we should

660
00:39:59,640 –> 00:40:02,880
observe the Judaistic
principles?

661
00:40:03,440 –> 00:40:06,240
Or the ceremonial ceremonials of
the law.

662
00:40:06,240 –> 00:40:08,400
That’s all.
What’s wrong with that?

663
00:40:08,640 –> 00:40:12,320
Let’s get along with it.
Nothing wrong with it, but that

664
00:40:12,320 –> 00:40:16,120
little slight deviation.
The further it went.

665
00:40:16,320 –> 00:40:20,240
Went out like that until it
broadened out to establish the

666
00:40:20,240 –> 00:40:24,760
apostasy upon the earth that.
Destroyed and rooted those that

667
00:40:24,760 –> 00:40:27,200
dared.
Stand for the principles of the

668
00:40:27,200 –> 00:40:29,760
truth.
That is the history of the

669
00:40:29,760 –> 00:40:32,480
ecclesia.
And that’s what God is warning

670
00:40:32,480 –> 00:40:35,240
us in this 4th chapter of
Genesis.

671
00:40:35,400 –> 00:40:39,080
Because you see, the further
that man Cain goes, the worse

672
00:40:39,080 –> 00:40:43,720
the apostasy begins it becomes.
And that’s the warning that’s

673
00:40:43,720 –> 00:40:46,480
laid down there, not to merely
tell us what happened to Cain

674
00:40:46,480 –> 00:40:50,360
and his children, but to remind
us of what can happen in our

675
00:40:50,360 –> 00:40:55,640
Dian generation.
Watch, therefore, keep awake, be

676
00:40:55,640 –> 00:40:59,920
vigilant, make yourselves
perfectly familiar to the things

677
00:40:59,920 –> 00:41:04,520
of God, and cling to those
things tenaciously, as did Abel,

678
00:41:04,520 –> 00:41:06,720
who was prepared to die for
them.

679
00:41:08,160 –> 00:41:11,240
And are we prepared to die for
the things of God?

680
00:41:11,600 –> 00:41:15,040
He offered that lamb, you know,
and that lamb was representative

681
00:41:15,040 –> 00:41:17,520
of himself.
For when that lamb of the, when

682
00:41:17,520 –> 00:41:21,160
the blood of the lamb was shed,
Abel was virtually saying to God

683
00:41:21,160 –> 00:41:23,240
that he was prepared to die for
God.

684
00:41:23,640 –> 00:41:25,880
When we take the bread and the
wine, that’s really what we’re

685
00:41:25,880 –> 00:41:29,600
going to say, are we?
You know, a little bit of

686
00:41:29,600 –> 00:41:33,520
trouble occurs at what happens.
We divert away from it.

687
00:41:34,400 –> 00:41:37,720
That’s the lesson that is
brought here and there.

688
00:41:37,720 –> 00:41:42,240
We have now 2 systems of
religion in the antediluvian

689
00:41:42,240 –> 00:41:47,080
age, one that follows the line
of Abel and one that follows the

690
00:41:47,080 –> 00:41:50,520
line of Cain.
And as we check through the life

691
00:41:50,600 –> 00:41:54,280
of these descendants of Cain and
the descendants of Seb, we’re

692
00:41:54,280 –> 00:41:58,640
going to see exactly what’s
happening at the present time in

693
00:41:58,640 –> 00:42:02,920
the earth.
Now we have the names of Cain’s

694
00:42:02,920 –> 00:42:06,680
descendants.
Here in verse 18 onwards.

695
00:42:07,040 –> 00:42:10,480
We have first of all until Enoch
was born, I rat.

696
00:42:11,000 –> 00:42:15,640
Now I rat means a wild ass.
It speaks of someone who is self

697
00:42:15,640 –> 00:42:19,080
willed, who is wayward.
It’s a symbol, as a matter of

698
00:42:19,080 –> 00:42:22,400
fact, in the rest of the
Scripture of apostate Israel.

699
00:42:22,880 –> 00:42:26,720
So you see, it’s emphasizing the
waywardness, the self willed

700
00:42:26,720 –> 00:42:32,600
attitude of the descendants of
Cain and he begat Mahujay Yale.

701
00:42:33,080 –> 00:42:36,400
And that means smitten of God, a
man that is self-centered.

702
00:42:38,000 –> 00:42:39,840
A.
Person who’s got to look after

703
00:42:39,840 –> 00:42:43,240
himself, he’s not going to worry
about God because he doesn’t

704
00:42:43,360 –> 00:42:49,320
think God can help him and he
gives birth or he begets rather

705
00:42:49,560 –> 00:42:53,920
Methusel.
And Methusel means a man of God

706
00:42:54,200 –> 00:42:58,600
brought up to a full stature.
Now as these are all associated

707
00:42:58,600 –> 00:43:02,840
with Cain and Enoch and this
city, which is a city of

708
00:43:02,840 –> 00:43:07,040
devotion and religion, so here
is the food development of that

709
00:43:07,040 –> 00:43:09,840
association and that religious
apostasy.

710
00:43:10,120 –> 00:43:13,400
It’s like the papacy that
gradually developed until

711
00:43:13,560 –> 00:43:17,480
finally in the days of Justinian
and later on in the period of

712
00:43:17,480 –> 00:43:24,000
focus, it stood up in all its
power, in all its its magnitude

713
00:43:24,760 –> 00:43:28,080
and men looked at it.
I wondered at it as we read in

714
00:43:28,080 –> 00:43:30,960
the Book of Revelation.
So you see in the descent of

715
00:43:30,960 –> 00:43:34,800
Cain here you have been the very
names of those men, an

716
00:43:34,800 –> 00:43:39,040
indication of the historical
developments at that time.

717
00:43:39,240 –> 00:43:44,400
Until you find a man standing up
and saying I am a man of God, I

718
00:43:44,400 –> 00:43:49,560
am the vicar of Jesus Christ.
I am infallible, I am the Pope,

719
00:43:50,520 –> 00:43:53,840
and you have that I believe
developed here in for in

720
00:43:53,920 –> 00:43:57,240
foreshadow.
And now we come to this man

721
00:43:57,320 –> 00:44:01,120
Lamech, and we got a lot of the
concerning him.

722
00:44:01,560 –> 00:44:04,600
He extends to the rest of this
chapter Lamech.

723
00:44:06,000 –> 00:44:08,480
And the word Lamech means an
overthrower.

724
00:44:08,480 –> 00:44:13,720
He’s a word that signifies a
strong young man, and he’s

725
00:44:13,720 –> 00:44:16,720
living in perilous times, no
doubt about that.

726
00:44:17,160 –> 00:44:20,160
And we’re going to see, as his
life unfolds before us in

727
00:44:20,160 –> 00:44:28,320
detail, that is noted for
permissiveness, for profit, for

728
00:44:28,320 –> 00:44:33,800
pleasure, for power.
They are the three things that

729
00:44:33,800 –> 00:44:38,520
dominate Lamech.
He wants his own way.

730
00:44:39,000 –> 00:44:43,760
It’s an age of permissiveness.
It’s an age of profit.

731
00:44:44,560 –> 00:44:50,360
It’s an age of pleasure, it’s an
age of power, it’s an exact

732
00:44:50,360 –> 00:44:56,040
foreshadowing of the conditions
in which we are living, and it

733
00:44:56,040 –> 00:45:00,600
forms the foundation of the
state of things that God

734
00:45:00,600 –> 00:45:09,400
destroyed with a flag.
Lamac is the evil genius of his

735
00:45:09,440 –> 00:45:14,360
age and generation.
First of all, there’s a state of

736
00:45:14,360 –> 00:45:18,680
permissiveness.
For the first time we have

737
00:45:18,680 –> 00:45:22,760
polygamy.
There is the breakdown of the

738
00:45:22,760 –> 00:45:27,440
family unit.
There is the ignoring of the

739
00:45:27,440 –> 00:45:31,920
principles of marriage that is
given in the early chapters of

740
00:45:31,920 –> 00:45:35,320
Genesis.
He’s going to take to himself.

741
00:45:35,440 –> 00:45:40,440
2.
Wives, and we know we live in an

742
00:45:40,440 –> 00:45:44,320
age of declining morals in that
regard.

743
00:45:45,360 –> 00:45:50,600
That is very disturbing, the
conditions in Australia in that

744
00:45:50,600 –> 00:45:52,960
regard.
Then I suppose it’s just as bad

745
00:45:52,960 –> 00:45:55,280
here.
I don’t mean to the ecclesia, I

746
00:45:55,280 –> 00:46:00,800
mean the world are frightful.
It worries me really.

747
00:46:01,880 –> 00:46:06,560
It does desperately, because our
young people are growing up in

748
00:46:06,560 –> 00:46:09,360
an environment that they got to
recognize as terribly evil.

749
00:46:10,640 –> 00:46:12,800
And mostly we’re victims of our
environment.

750
00:46:14,560 –> 00:46:18,480
Things that we permit today, we
would never have permitted 1015

751
00:46:18,480 –> 00:46:22,480
years ago.
Standards that we recognise

752
00:46:22,480 –> 00:46:24,280
then, we no longer recognise
today.

753
00:46:24,280 –> 00:46:29,440
Why?
Conditions that we were familiar

754
00:46:29,440 –> 00:46:33,880
with then?
No longer conditions today when

755
00:46:33,880 –> 00:46:37,080
I went to school years and years
and years ago when.

756
00:46:37,080 –> 00:46:39,920
I went to school.
At some time past the centuries

757
00:46:40,200 –> 00:46:44,320
when I went to school, my
teacher was a big man and a

758
00:46:44,320 –> 00:46:47,720
powerful man.
I will remember as a schoolboy

759
00:46:47,720 –> 00:46:49,840
going into that classroom and he
addresses us.

760
00:46:49,840 –> 00:46:53,160
He stood up before us and he
says I am here actually as your

761
00:46:53,160 –> 00:46:57,080
school teacher number one, I’ve
got a drum into your thick

762
00:46:57,080 –> 00:46:58,960
heads.
He wasn’t a very polite man.

763
00:46:59,280 –> 00:47:02,520
Drum into your thick head.
Something concerning mathematics

764
00:47:02,520 –> 00:47:08,400
and so forth and so on.
But he says my main job is to

765
00:47:08,400 –> 00:47:10,440
make of you good citizens of the
state.

766
00:47:12,160 –> 00:47:14,440
Now he says not in the
curriculum, but every day we’re

767
00:47:14,440 –> 00:47:16,320
going to look at the parable of
Jesus Christ.

768
00:47:18,080 –> 00:47:21,800
No longer is that the case.
Today you go to school.

769
00:47:21,800 –> 00:47:24,640
I understand.
Well, I went to school once to

770
00:47:24,640 –> 00:47:26,200
meet my daughter and she just
walked out.

771
00:47:26,200 –> 00:47:28,160
I would never be permitted to do
that.

772
00:47:28,760 –> 00:47:30,480
I had to put up my.
Hand if I wanted to leave the

773
00:47:30,480 –> 00:47:32,000
room and.
Then try to wait until recess

774
00:47:32,000 –> 00:47:34,640
time.
But be that as it may, value

775
00:47:34,640 –> 00:47:37,520
what they like.
And he I said, can you do that?

776
00:47:37,920 –> 00:47:39,680
Oh yeah, she said.
Bert doesn’t mind.

777
00:47:39,720 –> 00:47:41,040
He’s Bert.
He’s the teacher.

778
00:47:41,600 –> 00:47:43,720
All right.
So it was a little bit out of my

779
00:47:43,720 –> 00:47:46,680
realm, you see.
But you see, we are permitting

780
00:47:46,680 –> 00:47:49,720
things today and standards are
fallen and we’re victims of our

781
00:47:49,720 –> 00:47:51,520
environment.
Don’t worry about that.

782
00:47:51,760 –> 00:47:55,680
I’m a victim of the environment.
I recognise that in myself.

783
00:47:55,680 –> 00:47:58,000
I see it and recognise it.
It cleans you.

784
00:47:58,000 –> 00:48:01,640
It worries me desperately.
It does truly because I see

785
00:48:01,640 –> 00:48:04,320
these young people growing up
and I know that that environment

786
00:48:04,320 –> 00:48:08,600
can adversely affect them.
And I do believe too, which I

787
00:48:08,600 –> 00:48:11,080
won’t ever got time to tell you
now, but I will try to tell you

788
00:48:11,080 –> 00:48:15,120
tomorrow that we what must be
done in order to correct this.

789
00:48:15,760 –> 00:48:18,720
But that environment was there
and he had this permissiveness

790
00:48:18,720 –> 00:48:21,640
and he took these two wives.
The name of the one was Ada, and

791
00:48:21,640 –> 00:48:25,520
the name of the other was Zilla.
Now Ada means adorned, adorned.

792
00:48:25,680 –> 00:48:27,400
She was noted for her beauty,
you see.

793
00:48:27,680 –> 00:48:31,840
But Zilla, she means shade, and
it means one that hovers over

794
00:48:31,840 –> 00:48:34,080
another, you know, to provide
comfort.

795
00:48:34,360 –> 00:48:37,400
So here was this man Lamech,
breaking down the principles

796
00:48:37,400 –> 00:48:40,120
that existed until then,
indulging in a sense of

797
00:48:40,120 –> 00:48:43,280
permissiveness, taking to
himself 2 wives and having the

798
00:48:43,280 –> 00:48:46,360
best of both worlds.
For one was for a beauty and the

799
00:48:46,360 –> 00:48:49,800
other was noted for his comfort.
So you see, in that regard, he

800
00:48:49,800 –> 00:48:52,600
felt that he was doing something
that would please blame that.

801
00:48:53,160 –> 00:48:55,760
And that’s all that worried him.
Now we must leave it there

802
00:48:55,760 –> 00:48:59,160
because our time has gone.
And normally when a chairman

803
00:48:59,160 –> 00:49:01,680
gets off the platform when I’m
speaking, it’s a very, very

804
00:49:01,680 –> 00:49:04,760
dangerous thing for him to do.
But I, I’m going to sit down

805
00:49:04,760 –> 00:49:06,200
now, Ralph, and you can take
over.

806
00:49:06,200 –> 00:49:06,600
Thank you.
