Cain and His Descendants • Two Lines and Two RealmsThe Bible tells us that Cain and Abel were not the only descendants of Adam and Eve. Genesis 5:4 says that later Adam begot more sons and daughters. But Cain and Abel stand out from the other descendants because they represent the two manners of life.
Cain Being Sent Away from God's Presence • Enoch – Devoted • Irad – Rebellious • Mehujael – God wipes out. • Methushael - Man of God • Lamech – To make low.
Cain Being Sent Away from God's Presence • ???. I really doubt you can say with certainty that the names have a hidden meaning, but it is interesting. • God will wipe out those dedicated to rebellion. The man of God is humble.
