Back To The Origin: Two Systems And Their Commodities

Two different personalities signifying two different people emerged from Adam and Eve.

The first is the lineage of Cain.

The second is that of Abel.

Cain signified evil, hatred, anger, sin and a godless system.

Abel signified purity, love for God, gentle and righteous, and a system that pledges allegiance to God.

Once, Cain (the evil system) rose up against the good, and killed Abel, the righteous one. Abel was innocent, committed no crime, yet he died a cruel death.

Seth replaced Abel, and sustained the righteous system that depended on God.

Cain went out of the presence of God and we see how he began civilization and inventions without the God input. Cain is a system that does not answer to God. It is the world system.

A Godless Civilization

The following characterized the lineage of Cain.

1. The building of a city – Civilization.

2. Polygamy.

3. Tenth construction and large scale farming – herdsmen.

4. The advent of music.

5. Production of brass and iron.

6. Murder and crime against humanity

7. System of justice.

All the above listed are what characterized the lineage of Cain from his first son Enoch to his great-great-grand son, Lamech (Genesis 4).

This portrayed a system of civilization OUTSIDE of God.

The System of ONE Commodity

The following characterized the lineage of Seth.

1. Men began to call upon the name of the Lord – Man began to seek God!

It is surprising to note that just ONE thing characterized the lineage of Seth, the righteous system – SEEKING GOD!

In God’s kingdom, only GOD is the COMMODITY that is sought for. It is a system of ONE thing.

There are no inventions or money or fame – just God.

If these things exist, they do so in order to further the kingdom of GOD. Believers don’t know that the system of God has only God as the commodity and so we seek for so many things and sincerely those things we seek for, we did not really factor God into them as seek them. 

This is the reason why we end up being a very strange creature that neither the kingdom of God nor the world system recognizes.

The world system have no regard for God or for his name, they are controlled and ruled by the god of mammon. The believer does not subscribe to this world system and sadly so many believers don’t also conform fully to the God system where only God is the commodity, so we end up not being in the kingdom, neither are we out of the kingdom. Like Ephraim, we are like a cake not turned; the world is not sure if we are with them, neither is heaven sure if we are on the Lord’s side. We are neither here nor there.

This is a very dangerous position to hold. This is the root cause of so many incessant religions in the world today.

The system of Cain will never answer to God and God will never bow to the system of Cain, and so they are always in opposition with each other. It is a bad day to be in-between a fierce war between two conflicting kingdoms: You’d be scared for nothing!

The most miserable man is not the man that failed in what he stood for, but the man that stood for nothing.
