What if I told you that the very first murder in human history wasn’t just a tragic family fight… but the opening shot in a cosmic war?
That the story of Cain and Abel isn’t just about jealousy or violence—but about worship, identity, and rebellion against divine instruction?
That the first two sons of humanity weren’t just brothers—they were symbols…
One of covenant obedience.
One of prideful assumption.
And that their choices echo all the way into Genesis 6… to the Nephilim… and to the spiritual corruption that triggered the Flood.
Welcome to True Word, Faith for LIFE! with Dr. Shawn.
Today we go beneath the surface of Genesis 4, into the language, the worldview, and the heartbreak that followed Eden’s exile.
Cain. Abel. The first altar. The first murder.
Were they twins?
Why did God reject Cain’s offering?
And what in the world does any of this have to do with divine beings and giants?
This isn’t the sanitized Sunday School version.
This is raw truth, straight from the Word—with insights from Hebrew, ancient tradition, and scholars like Dr. Skip Moen and Dr. Michael Heiser.
So grab your Bible…
Because once you see what’s really there…
You won’t ever look at Cain—or yourself—the same way again.
