Brother Branham: Would you please explain your theory that Eve conceived Cain of the devil?
173 I never said that; I said Eve conceived Cain of the serpent. In Genesis 4:1’s, 1st verse, clearly states that, “Adam knew his wife Eve; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, ‘I have gotten a man from God.’”
Absolutely! All life has to come from God. John Dillinger come from God. Adolf Hitler come from God. Every... George-George Whitefield come from God, and so did Bob Ingersol. Every person come from God.
174 But what I said is this: And I want someone to just tear it down. See? The Bible said that He would put (in Genesis 3:8). I... The... When the question was asked when Eve had been-something had happened to her, she met the serpent... Now the serpent was not a snake; he was a beast, the most subtle of everything in the field. There was nothing...
175 Today science is looking for a bone of some animal that connects man and monkey together. The closest they got is a chimpanzee. They can’t find a bone. They’ll never, because it’s a serpent. It’s a revelation of God.
176 Watch! The serpent was a-like a prehistoric man, something next to God-or next to man. And that’s the only thing. If any other animal would’ve happened to-Satan would’ve got on them, the seed would not have mixed with the woman. You can’t mix a human seed with any kind of an animal seed. It won’t work. But this animal that will mix the seed is complete-it’s extinct. God turned him to a snake. But remember when... Said, “Why did you hide? Why did you cover yourself with fig leaves?” Then they begin to pass the buck as the army is. “Well,” Adam said, “the woman that You give me enticed me to take of the fruit.”
177 And the woman said, “The serpent beguiled me.” Now, what does beguile mean? “She-he beguiled me.”
178 And God said, “I’ll put enmity between your seed and the serpent’s seed.” Seed! The serpent had a literal seed, and it come through Cain. Through Cain come all the smart, educated people down to the antediluvian flood. And behind that come Abel who was killed, and Seth was raised up in his place to represent the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. And from him come the humble people, sheepherders and so forth, but the God-fearing people. And Jesus said the children of this world are wiser, smarter, than the children of the Kingdom. That’s right!
179 We can’t compare with them. Don’t try to put yourself up to be like them. Humble yourself before God. Don’t desire to be smart and wise. Just desire to know Jesus and let it alone, for there lays the seed of the serpent today. And people are glorying because scientists, and smart men, and educated, and great scholars belong to their churches. I’d rather have a man that really knowed God if he didn’t know his ABC’s to belong to my church (right!) as long as he’s the seed of Christ.
180 The woman’s Seed, the woman’s Seed which was Christ. Mary brought forth the Christ. And the serpent’s seed which was Cain come down to Judas Iscariot. There was both Jesus and Judas incarnate right there, God and the devil. On the cross of Calvary there was four people dying. There was a thief on each side of Jesus, and Judas hung himself on a sycamore tree, which is a cross: “Cursed is he that hangeth on a tree.” There was one thief said, “If Thou be the Son of God, take us down.”
181 The other one said, “Lord, we do justly, we getting punished, but You’ve done nothing. Remember me when You come into Your Kingdom.” Jesus said, “Today shalt thou be with Me in paradise.”
182 There was the-Jesus, the Gospel preacher, preaching on the cross. There was Satan going back to hell, taking with him the seed of the serpent, the unbeliever. There was God going
back to Heaven taking with Him a repented sinner, the seed of the woman. Certainly!
183 It was not the seed of the devil; it was the seed of the serpent. And the serpent had a seed; the Bible said it had a seed. And it’s still exists today, the seed of the serpent. So much... Now, you can ask me another question on that. If we just had time, I got all the words for you, and...
