The Bible was not given to us to increase our knowledge but to change our lives.

—D. L. Moody

Cain and Abel

Genesis 4

These two mystical names in reality represent the two states of our being or conscience. Cain can be identified as our terrestrial or human nature, while Abel identifies with our spiritual or divine state. In verses 3–4, we see this in God’s pleasure over their actions. God takes pleasure in Abel’s shepherding of his sheep, while he is dissatisfied with Cain’s working of the land. Let’s focus on the various aspects of this sensational, yet short story, but as always, our intentions are to try to learn from the Bible what can be useful on our voyage back from the human and terrestrial to the spiritual and divine.

First, we can see clearly even though our human nature or conscience is predisposed to acting incorrectly. Still within our being, we have the supreme and divine conscience that permits us to overrule these tendencies as it says in verse seven of chapter 4 in Genesis.

If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it. Second, this passage states how unfortunate it is for human beings to shed the blood of his fellow man. There is nothing that God detests more than murder. Without a doubt, this action has the ability to separate us from His presence. That’s why after Cain killed his brother, God says: Now Cain said to his brother Abel, Let’s go out to the field. While they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him. Then the Lord said to Cain, Where is your brother Abel? I don’t know, he replied. Am I my brother’s keeper? The Lord said, What have you done? Listen! Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground. Now you are under a curse and driven from the ground, which opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. When you work the ground, it will no longer yield its crop for you. You will be a restless wanderer on the earth." (Genesis 4:7–12)

The third and final point of interest in this passage is that we are made mare of another important lesson for our daily lives, as expressed in verses 13–16.

Cain said to the Lord, My punishment is more than I can bear. Today you are driving me from the land, and I will be hidden from your presence; I will be a restless wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me. But the Lord said to him, Not so; anyone who kills Cain will suffer vengeance seven times over." Then the Lord put a mark on Cain so that no one who found him would kill him. So Cain vents out from the Lord’s presence and lived in the lanai of Nod, east of Eden. (Genesis 4:13–16)

Here we see that after Cain killed his brother, Abel, he was separated from the presence of God and goes on to say that the punishment of his is more than he can bear. He fears that others will kill him if he wanders earth. God replies to this, Not so, anyone who kills Cain will suffer vengeance seven times over. In more familiar and in spiritual terms, this means that no matter the offense we have done, we cannot desire vengeance or pursue our own forms of justice. Instead, retribution will be in God’s hand and be given to us based on what is needed not what we want.

The Wickedness and Judgment of Man

Genesis 6–8

This is another of the extraordinary stories narrated in the Bible in which lies a formidable hidden message of the infinite love of God that is provided to us, as an option or an alternative, in order to have the ability to get out of the difficult situation and problems that we get ourselves into; through our whole existence. This matter occurs even though then the Lord saw that wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every extent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually (Genesis 6:5–11).

After this situation, the Lord utilized a great flood in not more than a formula of method that God uses to undo those evil thoughts, beliefs, and actions from our human nature or conscience. Hitherto, when the great flood falls and the waters (difficulties) increases, a painful process occurs due to the opposition of our human nature. After a period of time, God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the water subsided (Genesis 8:1).

In synthesis, the fundamental message of these short stories is the same along the complete Bible, from Genesis to Revelations. It does not make a difference of what kind of problem or disaster we have incurred to. The Lord will always provide a path so we can be able to get out of any difficult situation that we have dragged ourselves into or any tribulations that we have been experiencing at the moment as a consequence of violations to the divine laws, even though it will always be a Noah (the Christ within us) and the Ark (divinity) to save us.

Jacob’s Dream at Bethel

Genesis 28:10–22

For better comprehension and application in our daily lives, we need to consider the importance of the meaning of words, especially in this case those in Hebrew in the Bible. For instance, in this passage the key word we find is Bethel, which in Hebrew means house of God.

Jacob left Beersheba and set out for Haran. When he reached a certain place, he stopped for the night because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones there, he
