with a Kane…
• And Abel…who wasn’t able to
defend himself.
• What’s the point?
 Sacrifice
• Abel offers a LAMB
• Cain offers fruits of the ground.(
not the best)
• Meaning that God demands our
best sacrifice!
• Cain got insanely
Jealous

gets murderous.
• THE WAGE OF SIN IS DEATH!!!
• DEATH!!!
• DEATH!!!
• Life?
• NO!!! DEATH!!!

• Thoughts turns to acts turn to habits turn to
character turns to destiny.

 Noah
• Operation clean sweep.
• Noah was our only hope.
• So God did what he had to do.
• God allows for the flood. ( a
direct result of sin)
• But gives a covenant to Noah.
 God preserves creation

waters of death.

after.

 Ham, Shem, Japheth
• Noah’s 3 son’s…
• Shem is the man…the priest, the
covenant carrier.
• And Ham is a dirty bird….(I’ll explain)

Europeans.
• Anyway…for our purposes Shem is
the man (Shem=Semitic=Hebrew)

father’s nakedness

incest.
