verse 10 and he said what has thou done the voice of thy brother's blood cries
unto me from the ground and now art thou cursed from the earth which hath opened
her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand when thou tellest the
ground it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength a fugitive in a
vagabond shall thou be in the earth and Cain said unto the Lord my punishment is
greater than I can bear behold thou has driven me out this day from the face of
the earth and from thy face shall I be hid and I shall be a fugitive in a
vagabond in the earth and it shall come to pass that everyone that finest me
shall slay me now go ahead and go to Matthew chapter 23 Matthew chapter 23
pretty sad story this guy hated his brother so much that he was willing to
kill him just because he was envious just because he was mad that God didn't
have respect unto his offering what Cain should have done was this just correct
maybe before he even killed his brother he should have just been like you know
what Abel did it right I did it wrong let me go ahead and do it right so God
can I have respect unto my offering as well but let's say he didn't do that and
he kills his brother he should have just confessed it you see he that can he
that confesses his sin the Bible says shall have shall obtain mercy who so
confess that them forsaken the sin shall obtain mercy those who try to hide
it don't obtain mercy now look at Matthew Matthew chapter 23 and verse 34
here are in the New Testament Abel is mentioned just a few times some of them
some of them are repetitious times but Matthew right here in Matthew we see
that he's mentioned verse 34 says wherefore behold I send you unto the
prophet I send unto you prophets and wise men and scribes and some of them he
shall kill and crucify and some of them shall you scourge in your synagogues and
persecute them from city to city that upon you may come all the righteous
blood shed upon the earth from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood
of Zacharias the son of Barakas whom he slew between the temple and the altar so
the question remains what was Abel's blood saying when it was when it was
crying from the ground what was it saying well based upon this scripture
what it was crying out for was revenge because you if you read later on in
Genesis chapter 4 that's why Cain says someone's gonna slay me God cursed him
and someone was gonna slay him so it was crying out revenge he wanted to be
avenged for the blood that was there was there was a spilled now go to Hebrew
chapter 12 I'm gonna prove this to you Hebrew chapter 12 I'm gonna reach you
from Hebrews 11 and verse 4 it says by faith Abel offered unto God a more
excellent sacrifice than Cain by which he obtained witness that he was
righteous God testifying of his gifts and by it he being dead yet speaketh
look at Hebrews chapter 12 and verse number 22 so we see Cain slain Abel
Abel's blood cries from the ground God curses Cain and he's afraid that
someone's gonna take vengeance upon him look at Hebrews 12 verse 22 says but ye
are coming to Mount Zion and unto the city of the living God the heavenly
Jerusalem and to an innumerable company of angels to the general assembly and
Church of the firstborn which are written in heaven and to God the judge
of all and to the spirits of just men made perfect and to Jesus the mediator
of a new covenant and to the blood of sprinkling that speaketh better things
than that of Abel so we understand that in Hebrews when it's referencing the
blood of Christ is talking about that which was spilled in order to start the
New Testament or the New Covenant okay and without the shedding of blood there
is no remission the Bible says so we can look at the story of Jesus Christ and
his blood being shed and Abel's blood being shed and what could we take away
from those two well one blood cried out revenge the other ones blood cried out
redemption you see Abel's blood though he was righteous he was still a sinner
so when his blood was spilled God solved that and guess what vengeance is mine
say the Lord I will repay but in the New Testament when Jesus Christ spills
his blood it's actually crying out redemption that's why it's speaking
better things than that of Abel why is that because simply for the fact that
when someone kills somebody guess what there's a consequence to that okay there
are consequences and there are penalties there's revenge that's gonna be taken
upon you because of the sin that you've committed for the wages of sin is death
the Bible says but we see that in the New Testament obviously throughout the
scriptures but specifically when Jesus Christ came he spilled his blood and it
spoke redemption that's what his blood was spilled for in order to start that
New Covenant and the Bible says he speaks better things why because it's a
better covenant okay it's a better Testament go to
