  This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created. And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth: And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters: And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died. And Seth lived an hundred and five years, and begat Enos: (Genesis 5:1-6|KJV- From this account, we discovered that in Adam's genealogy Cain and Abel is missing we understand that of Abel to be that he has died and has no generation to be counted from him, but Cain was still alive and was skipped and Seth was mentioned.  One clear indication from this scripture is that Adam brought forth children after his own likeness. Seth was described to be...

  The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

Though we knew Him as a babe born to Mary and Joseph but as we watch Him grew, we began to see the manifestation of God in Him. The term Epiphany means manifestation or revealing; the feast day captures 3 great occasions in the bible where Jesus was revealed to the Gentiles (Visit of the Magi, Matt. 2:1-12), where He was revealed to Israel (His Baptism at River Jordan, John 1:29-34) and where He was revealed to the entire world at the wedding feast in Cana. The 3 wise men saw His star from the east and travel all the way to worship Him. They represented we the gentiles, we all became Christians today because we heard the gospel that was brought to us by the white men, and it is only the wise among us that heard ...

  For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him ? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous. (1 John 3:11-12|KJV- It is the law of God that we should love the Lord our God with all our heart and with all our strength, secondly is that we should love our neighbors just as ourselves. This is the model of Christ.  Cain took from his father the devil which Apostle John in our passage described as the wicked one. He claimed Abel to be his brother and neighbor but lacked the brotherly love that was preached from the beginning.  In chapter 4 of Genesis, he appeared before the Lord with Abel to offer sacrifice, but due to the fact that He is of that wicked one, his sacrifice was rejected but Abel's own was accepted because he is of the righteous one. This is to teach us of two categories of persons in Church of Jesus Christ, the ...
