Thursday: The Wickedness of Man
Read Genesis 4:17-24. What was Cain’s legacy, and how did Cain’s crime open the way for the increasing wickedness of humankind?
Cain’s great-great-great-grandson, Lamech, refers to Cain’s crime in the context of his own. This comparison between the crime of Cain and the crime of Lamech is instructive. While Cain keeps silent about his only recorded crime, Lamech seems to be boasting about his, expressing it in a song (Genesis 4:23-24). While Cain asks for God’s mercy, Lamech is not recorded as asking for it. While Cain is avenged seven times by God, Lamech believes that he will be avenged seventy-seven times (see Genesis 4:24), a hint that he’s very much aware of his guilt.

Also, Cain is monogamous (Genesis 4:17); Lamech introduces polygamy, for the Scripture says specifically that he “took for himself two wives” (Genesis 4:19, NKJV). This intensification and exaltation of evil will definitely affect the next generations of Cainites.
Following immediately this episode of evil in the Cainite family, the biblical text records a new event that counters the Cainite trend. “Adam knew his wife” (Genesis 4:25), and the result is the birth of Seth, whose name is given by Eve to indicate that God had put “another seed” in the place of Abel.
In fact, the history of the name Seth precedes Abel. The name Seth is derived from the Hebrew verb ’ashit, “I will put” (Genesis 3:15), which introduces the Messianic prophecy. The Messianic seed will be passed on in the Sethite line. The biblical text gives, then, the record of the Messianic line beginning with Seth (Genesis 5:3-4), and including Enoch (), Methuselah, and ending with Noah (Genesis 6:8).
The phrase “sons of God” (Genesis 6:2) refers to the line of Seth because they are designed to preserve the image of God (Genesis 5:1, Genesis 5:4). On the other hand, the “daughters of men” (Genesis 6:2) seems to have a negative connotation, contrasting the offspring of those in the image of God to those in the image of men. And it is under the influence of these “daughters of men” that the sons of God “took wives for themselves of all whom they chose” (Genesis 6:2, NKJV), indicating the wrong direction humanity was heading.
| Read Genesis 6:1-5. What a powerful testimony to the corruption of sin! Why must we do all that we can in God’s power to eradicate sin from our lives? |
Amen!

3.CAIN AND HIS LEGACY
Negative actions will be followed by bitter consequences.
Memory Text: Genesis 4:7 – If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it.
3.5 The Wickedness of Man
It is unbelievable how bad actions go on and on into the next generations.
My God bless you today and always.

Exodus 40 holds clues to the kind of person God can use in His work. Imagine having so close a relationship with God that He could give you such specific and detailed instructions as those recorded in this chapter. Moses carefully recorded the instructions, complete with a due date (verses 1-15), and then carried them out in every detail right on time (verses 16-34). Order and cleanliness were carefully observed by Moses and Aaron, illustrating their deep respect for the sacredness of the tabernacle and the tasks associated with it (verses 31, 32). God blessed this faithful attention to detail with a visible sign of His presence – a cloud so thick that Moses “was not able to enter the tent of the congregation.”
Moses and all the children of Israel were so focused on following God’s will that they did not move without evidence that God was leading, but as soon as the cloud lifted, signaling it was time to move, the “children of Israel went onward.” And God was with them night and day “throughout all their journeys.” May God help us be this focused and faithful.
