root of David

Sometimes people focus more on the two sons of Adam and Eve that had the most attention in the line of succession of children... Cain being marked a wanderer of the lands, and Able being destroyed by his sibling due to probable jealousy and hatred.

I would be less inclined about what happened to Cain since he was a murderer... and more interested in Seth, Adam's son, of whom the "root of David" descended and is part of Jesus' heritage... that way we know that there will be one found to open the book and prevent a total destruction of the entire earth and it's inhabitants... don'tcha think?


Genesis 4:25
Genesis 5:3 "And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat [a son] in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:"

Luke 3:23-38 (Jesus all the way to Adam)
Luke 3:37 "the son of Methuselah, the son of Enoch,
the son of Jared, the son of Mahalalel,
the son of Kenan, 38 the son of Enosh,
the son of Seth, the son of Adam,
the son of God."

Matthew 1:1-17 (Jesus up to Abraham)

Revelation 5:5 "And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof."
