The Cry of the Earth and Cain's Blood
BIBLE CONNECTIONS · HEAVENLY PETITION
Ready-To-Post Teaching
In 1 Enoch, when the giants have finished devouring, the earth itself brings an accusation against the oppressors. And the people cry, and their voice reaches to heaven.
That is not a decorative image. It is the same logic as Genesis 4, where God tells Cain that the voice of his brother's blood cries out to him from the ground. Spilled blood is not silent in the Bible. The ground carries the complaint upward.
In Enoch the archangels then take the case: the souls of people are putting their case before you, pleading, bring our judgment before the Most High.
Scripture links:
- Genesis 4:10 - the voice of your brother's blood is crying to me from the ground.
- 1 Enoch 8:4 - the people cried, and their voice reached unto heaven.
Injustice in Scripture is audible. Somebody always hears it, and the hearing is the beginning of judgment.
What the Scripture Says
- 1 Enoch 8:4
- Genesis 4:10
“The Lord said to Cain, ‘Why are you angry, and why has your face fallen? If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is contrary to you, but you must rule over it.’”
