Hello, I’m Stephen Buckley, welcome back to our Eden to Zion bible series, through which you will develop a biblical worldview and solid framework of the gospel narrative to live by and tell by. 
Today we are tackling Genesis chapter 4, that contains the first murder, and the beginning of prayer. In truth, it is a chapter of firsts. The first family, the first death, the first city, the first polygamous marriage, and more. 
 
Genesis 4 is the latter part of the section that began in Genesis 2 verse 4. We recall that Genesis contains 11 or so titles after the creation account, meaning 12 natural dividers given by the author that begin with “the history of” or “the family of” or “these are the generations of” depending on the translation. 
 
This section was titled “These are the generations of the heavens and the earth” (Gen 2:4) The section the tells us what became of creation – it was corrupted by the first family. It is not a “return to chaos” as some commentators may pen. There was no chaos beforehand, it is a turning from perfection and purity to chaos and iniquity. 
 
Creation displayed the glory and power of God. The crown of creation rebelled against God, commencing with the serpent deceiving the glory of man in the form of his wife. The man chose to rebel against God’s just law, failing to guard the garden, God’s word, and his family from attack. Our just LORD cursed the serpent, the process of childbirth, relations between the sexes, and upon the land and man’s relationship to it. In his mercy, he promised a saviour in the seed to crush the serpent. Faced with death (albeit delayed), the LORD covered the man and woman with animal skins, before escorting them out from the garden. Salvation came through judgment as James Hamilton puts, “setting forth the grandeur of the glory of God.” Life outside the garden, post-fall of man, with curses in play, is the context of Genesis 4, which is a continuation of this section with an overall theme we could title “‘attachment’ to sin.” 
 
The “generations of the heavens and the earth” detailed in the first genealogy in history is interrupted by the story of two brothers. 
There are three main sections to Genesis 4: 
1-16 Cain and Abel 
17-24 The Family of Cain (thereafter) 
25-26 The Family of Seth 
 
These sections begin in similar fashion: “Now Adam knew Eve his wife” (v1) “Cain knew his wife” (v17) “And Adam knew his wife again” (v25) all conceiving and naming a male child, with a story to be told about each. 
 
The emphasis here is not so much on the murder itself although significant in history, but on the turning points in the build up to murder, and the moments in the aftermath, that challenge those of faith. 
 
I do not buy that Moses incorporated an edited version into the Torah leaving us with suitable questions that God should have answered. I’d be open to Adam, even Noah having written books of generations, and could it be possible to land in the hands of Moses? But regardless, God determined chapter 4 I believe by dictation that contains all the truth we require. 
I was surprised by the extremes of differing opinions about aspects of the narrative. One commentator will hold someone in positive light, the other negative. And back and forth it goes throughout. All commentators differ here and there, but I found Genesis 4 to be strikingly polarizing. I do not like ambiguity. I am not a man of equivocation, nor unnecessary nuance. I like to know where you stand, I’ll tell you where I stand, with no sneaking up on people, no leaving with elephants ignored… I like to nail my colours to the mast with conviction where the bible calls for such dogmatism, and I believe God has given me a gift of understanding the scriptures. I have to say during my study of Genesis 4 I found it slightly trickier in places than expected, and I’ve really had to pray for LORD to open my eyes to see the truth. I will then present various sides throughout AND hopefully bring clarity of position, certainly in the conclusion. 
 
Turn with me please to chapter 4 of Genesis. 
From the top.

"Hello and welcome. We are continuing the Olivet Discover through Matthew 24 into to 25 with an overarching theme of preparation for the Day of the LORD, the coming King, with an emphasis on mission. 
To recap part 1: 
Jesus foretold judgment against Jerusalem. The disciples respond with questions of when and what sign, connecting it with his coming at the end of the age. Expounding upon the OT prophets Jesus referred to the first half of the final week-of-years as the beginning of birth pains. Pointing to false Christs, war, famine, and earthquakes. Then the second half of the week-of-years, the great tribulation, as the birth pains intensify, that commences with the primary mid-week sign – the Abomination of Desolation. Listing false Christs, false prophets, death, martyrdom, apostasy, and the gospel going to all nations as a prerequisite before the end. Finally, his coming which involves, celestial signs, before the sign of the Son of Man, who comes publicly, suddenly, dramatically, in power to gather his elect, and rescue his people. He then gave 3 pictures of being caught out on that Day. And now and today we have three parables about preparing to meet the master, before judgement of the nations."

1:32:14 Bonus Thought 
 
 
 
"Recently I was invited to speak at a missions conference down in Hertfordshire in which I delivered two one hour sessions through Matthew 24 and 25, what we refer to as the Olivet Discourse. So I thought I would use that content with a little padding, preserving the emphasis on mission, and of course I will include the bulk of the scriptures and timelines on the screen for your benefit. 
 
This is by no means a comprehensive exposition, we will be moving a speed, skimming a stone over, and no doubt I will take time to concentrate on various aspects in more detail at some point in the future. 
 
The beauty of the Olivet Discourse is that it exposes both the digestion system of the congregant and the methods of the preacher. And if you want to know what I mean, I will add a bonus thought at the end. 
 
Everyone is trying to predict the future, from climate to crypto. They go to YouTube gurus, palm readers, and the medium at Endor. All the wrong places… Jesus gives us two chapters in his 5th and final major discourse. What a man has to say in the days leading up to his known death, matters greatly. How much more when it’s the Son of God. Are we listening? 
 
Throughout the discourse there is variation between second-person and third-person, as though Jesus’ exhortation, descriptions, warnings, and instructions are to a wider audience than the immediate disciples. 
 
These chapters are littered with doctrinal pointers. Doctrine matters, but it is the posture of your heart that is of my upmost concern during these two sessions. The hearts preparation for the return of the king. Because your heart’s posture determines how you go about God-given mission. 
 
As we hear from the scriptures I want you to have in mind the mission given to us from God – general mission and personal mission and ask if we are prepared and preparing for his return. 
 
So with that Said, let’s open our bibles to Mathew chapter 24."
