PROVERBS 16:18
18 ¶ Pride [goeth] before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

GENESIS 4:1
1 ¶ And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.

GENESIS 4:2
2 And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.

GENESIS 4:3
3 ¶ And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.

GENESIS 4:4
4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:

GENESIS 4:5
5 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.

GENESIS 4:6
6 ¶ And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?

GENESIS 4:7
7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee [shall be] his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.

GENESIS 4:8
8 ¶ And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.

MARRIAGE.AND.DIVORCE_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-13 SUNDAY_ 65-0221M
43-1 And Abel and Cain in the garden of Eden, Cain drawed his own conception. He said, "Now, look. God's a good God. He's over all nature, so I'll get the beans and potatoes, and I'll get the--the flowers, and I'll make Him a real pretty altar (That's a church). He knelt down; he believed God; he worshipped God, put up his hands, and offered this sacrifice. He done everything religious that Abel did.
Abel built the same kind of an altar, but when Abel brought his, he brought a lamb. Now, Cain thought that making an antidote for sin, that his father and mother must have eat fruit as they were taught in that garden. But Abel by Divine revelation knowed that it was the blood that did it: by Divine revelation. And the Bible said in Hebrews the 12th chapter--11th chapter, that Abel by faith (revelation) offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain by which God testified that he was righteous. That right? Amen. Brother, sister, it's just as plain as anything can be to me. There's the whole thing.

FIRST.SEAL.THE_ JEFF.IN MONDAY_ 63-0318
163-5 {314} You say, "Way back--way back in the apostles time?" He was called Nicolaitia there. Then in the next church age, then he become a doctrine in the church. First he was just a saying, then he become a doctrine.
Swell, celebrity people, fine dressed, highly educated, polished didn't want all that carrying on in the church. No, they didn't want all that Holy Ghost stuff. Must be a church... "And we all go through the Nicaea Council and so forth at Rome." Then when they come there, they took the church, and took paganism, Roman Catholi--or paganism--pagan Rome and a few superstitions and took the--the Astarte the Queen of heaven, and turned it to be Mary, the mother; make intercessors out of dead people, and so forth, and took that round kosher wafer which is still puts round on there and called it the Body of Christ, because it represents the mother of heaven... When a Catholic passes by, he crosses himself because that light's burning in there is supposed to be the kosher which is turned to God by the power of the priest, when it is nothing in the world but just plain paganism. That's right.

SECOND.SEAL.THE_ JEFF.IN TUESDAY_ 63-0319
202-2 {186} First, now you remember this: the first thing he is, he's an antichrist spirit. John said so. "Little children, the spirit of antichrist already working in the children of disobedience." See, that thing had begin to start. And then it become kind of a saying in the next church age. And the next church age it was a doctrine. And the next church age she was crowned. Now, isn't that just as plain as reading, anywhere you could read it? See?
See, there he come. Now, first he was called what? Antichrist spirit, because he was against the Word. That's what started it. That's exactly what done the whole thing, was turning from God's Word. Not because Eve might've give Cain a spanking one day. See? That wasn't what done it. The first thing that's done the whole thing was that she turned from the Word. She turned from the Word. And the first thing started the prostitution in the church of the living God, Christ's Bride, she turned from the Word and accepted Roman dogma in the stead of God's Word. What's happened to every organization's did the very same thing.

MARK.OF.THE.BEAST_ LONG.BEACH.CA FRIDAY_ 61-0217
E-70 After it's brought right up to you and showed you that is the seal of God, and just because of prestige, you'd have to give up something, or quit your denomination, or--or something to receive it, and then walk away from it, you know what you do? You seal yourself out of the Kingdom: mark of the beast.
When God told Abel, or told Cain, said, "Just go over and worship like your brother. Bring a lamb, come down here and worship like your brother," said, "you'll do all right. Do as your brother does, you'd be all right."
But he wouldn't do it, said, "This is the best I can offer. You can take it or leave it." And he was marked and went out of the Presence of God.

UNCERTAIN.SOUND_ MIDDLETOWN.OH WEDNESDAY_ 61-0315
E-38 Now, we see... God told Cain; He said, "Go ahead and worship like your brother Abel. and you'll do well. Go ahead and do the way he's a doing. It'll be all right with you." But if he didn't, sin lay at the door. And the same thing today... So we find that there's no certain sound to the church--the church, so-called.
Now, the church--we make the church the church today, called the church an organization. We say that's the church. "Uh, what church do you belong to?" Why there's only one church. There's only one. There's many organizations, but one church, many organizations. And as I've want to make it clear, I have nothing again them; they've played a great part. But that's not it yet. It's not it.

THREE.KINDS.OF.BELIEVERS_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-6 SUNDAY_ 63-1124E
23-5 Notice, Satan dwells in beauty. What did he try to do in the beginning? Make a more beautiful kingdom than Michael's was. Moved over in the north, and took two-thirds of the angels with him. See, whose--whose son that was then had that nature in him? Satan's son. Certainly it was.
Now, he built the altar, and he knelt down and he worshipped. He went through everything that Cain--that Abel did. But Abel knew that it wasn't that. He... It was blood that took them out. He knew that that was it; it was the sex blood. So he took a little animal, and offered it upon a rock, and chopped it's neck.
Notice, Cain, he... God told him; He said, "Why don't you worship like your brother? And you'll do all right. You'll do well if you'll do that." But no, he knowed too much about it. See? He rejected the original a-vindicated Word. If that ain't his children today... See?

POWER.OF.TRANSFORMATION_ PRESCOTT.AZ V-17 N-1 SUNDAY_ 65-1031M
245 Cain was such a person, religious in deed, certainly. But he had the wrong seed in him (See?); and therefore, it brought forth the serpent's seed. Satan had hissed over this seed of Eden, and that's what brought forth a Cain. He put his poison upon it.
He, Cain, knew the perfect will of God. He knew the perfect will of God. Cain knew it. Why? But he refused to do it; he proved then to be the serpent's seed. When he seen the perfect will of God, he refused it. He had seen God vindicate Abel's message. He knowed that was the will of God. See? He seen God vindicate Abel's message. And what did God say to him? And He just; He said, "Do the same, do... Worship like your brother, and--and you'll do well." But did he... He seen the perfect will of God, but he didn't want it. See? He wanted to add something to it.

ALL.THE.DAYS.OF.OUR.LIFE_ CHICAGO.IL FRIDAY_ 59-0612
E-19 And he's so much like Cain. Cain wanted to be religious, so he went and made his own religion. And when he did, he brought it before God with something like this: "Here's the best I got. This is all I can do about it. Now, take it or leave it."
That's about the way man does today. "I helped build the church. I send my children to church there. I put money in it every year. And that's the best I can do. Take it or leave it." Oh, see, he wants his own way. That's the way Cain did.
But God still loved him, and He still went after him. What did God tell Cain? "You'll do well if you'll just worship like your brother, Abel." Abel come God's way. But Cain wanted his way. And God said, "Now, Cain, I've got nothing against you. If you'll just come over and go the way that Abel goes, you'll do well."

ALL.THE.DAYS.OF.OUR.LIFE_ CHICAGO.IL FRIDAY_ 59-0612
E-20 But he hated Abel. He thought Abel was a holy-roller. He hasn't changed his opinion. He thought Abel was a religious fanatic. And he still believes it, that his formal ideas and his culture of his own thing is better than the baptism of the Holy Ghost. But he's wrong. Absolutely wrong. I don't care how well his choir can sing, or how good his preacher can preach; without the shedding of Blood, there's no remission of sin. Back to God's plan. Back to the Bible.
God has a way, but man don't want to come to it. Man said, "Now, look. I'm as good as you are. I go to church. I pay my dues at the church." And he wants to be religious. And that's all right. But he's religious...
But, you see, the nature of the earthly man is religious. Cain was religious. Satan is religious. Religion isn't what saves you; it's the Blood of Jesus Christ what saves you. And that's God's only grounds that He will meet you on for worship. Other's in vain.

MARK.OF.THE.BEAST_ LONG.BEACH.CA FRIDAY_ 61-0217
E-21 But you got a soul in there that's worth ten thousand worlds and let the devil cram anything down it and call it righteousness and religious, instead of taking God's right way about it. That's right. Your soul's worth ten thousand worlds. Your body's only worth eighty four cents. You drag it around and sure take care of it. Oh, you shave it up and fix it up right, but my, dress it up. But that soul, you sure won't dress that, just let anything drag through it that wants to. Give you a spider in that, you'd sue the--the restaurant that give it to you. But a church can tell you, "Shake hands with the pastor, say you believe in God, worship, and that's all you have to do."
If that's right, then Cain was right. But remember, God said to Cain, "Worship like your brother, and you'll do well." But he didn't want to do it. That's the way it is today; they don't want to worship God in Spirit and in truth. They just want to go to church and worship the way the church says worship. Worship what God said worship. Jesus said, "God is a Spirit, and they that worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and in truth." That's right, put them together, the Word and the Spirit together. And if the Spirit is in the Word, the Word will manifest Itself. That's exactly the reason you see discernment and healings and things like that; it's the Word made manifest.
