Who
Was Cain's Wife?
Billy
Sunday, the rootin', tootin', sawdust
trail evangelist was once interrupted in
his harangue by a heckler, who shouted
the question, then famous in all
agnostic or atheistic circles, "Who
was Cain's wife?"
Billy Sunday shot back the reply, "I
respect any seeker after knowledge, but
I want to warn you, young man, don't
risk being lost to salvation by too much
inquiring after other men's wives."
On
a more serious note: Adam and Eve were
very fruitful and thus, Cain's wife was
obviously one of his sisters or a
daughter of one of his sisters. At this
point in history, we are 2 to 6
generations into human history (Genesis
4:16,19)
For we
know that Lamech was the seventh from
Adam in the line of Cain. Remember, the
blood line was not yet diseased and
polluted like today. Before the flood,
it was not uncommon for a brother to
marry a sister. Actually, It was
essential for this to take place for the
posterity of humanity.
If you
believe God created the heavens and the
earth, then you understand that all
humans have their lineage originating in
Adam who was the first man and the
forefather of the entire human race.
Adam is referenced nine times in regards
to his headship over the human race in
the New Testament. It suffices to
acknowledge that every human
relationship has for its origin rooted
in Adam.
