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
