9. The Old Testament Book of GENESIS is the book of Generations, the generations of Adam, the generations of Noah, the generations of the sons of Noah, etc., etc.........down to the Generations of Jacob. A list of people always follows the phrase: 'these are the generations of'. The first use of this phrase is in Genesis 2:4, where it says:

These are the Generations of the Heavens and the Earth.

Although there is no list of people preceding this phrase, Christians have been taught that it refers to the 'seven days of creation' which are described in the previous verses. This is incorrect, and has prevented the correct meaning being recognised and accepted.

Looking carefully at the words following this phrase, those words which precede the next list of generations, that of Adam's direct line in Genesis 5:1, we find that Adam and his three sons Cain, Able and Seth are referred to. First there is the forming of Adam to tend the garden which God had made, then the introduction of Eve. Then the act of creation upon Adam and Eve. After that there is the disobedience of Adam resulting in the introduction of death and the ejection of both Adam and Eve from the garden. Then there is the birth of Adam's twins, Cain and Able, followed by the murder of Able by Cain. Cain is then exiled and his generation is listed. Then there is the birth of Seth and his son, Enos. The passage ends with the statement: 'then began men to call upon The Lord'.

These are the generations referred to as that of the Heavens and the Earth, and following the universal flood, part of the generation of the exiled Cain return to the earth and occupy Canaan, the land promised to Abraham and his seed. Other than that, The sons of Cain are not referred to again by the same name, in the whole of the bible. Thus it is clear that prior to the flood, there is a generation of Cain occupying the Heavens, and a generation of Seth occupying the Earth. All bible students are familiar with the latter because this is the generation which is God's concentration in the rest of Scripture.

The activity of Cain's generation of the Heavens is another matter because without that knowledge, men have begun to imagine all manner of 'alien' solutions, not recognising that the so called extra-terrestrials are part of the human race generated from Adam and Eve. 

10. It is necessary here to point out another error of general interpretation which has been perpetuated by the erroneous grammatical division of a verse in the KJ Version of our Bible, Genesis ch.6 verses 1 to 4. But, the translators of the Revised Version of this passage have interpreted the Hebrew original by correct punctuation

This fact has already been stated earlier in the passage and is inserted again at this point in order to define the time when The Nephilim were on the earth.

From this it is clearly stated that The Nephilim are 'men', the sons of Adam, NOT aliens as many writers and others want us to believe. They had a peculiar name[renown].....Nephilim. However the important question remains: Who are The Nephilim?  To answer this, we need to follow the rules of Scripture interpretation by refering back to the first use of the Hebrew root word contained in the word........'The Nephilim'.  

The Hebrew letters can be represented by English ones so: MYLPNH, remembering that the Hebrew is written from right to left. The first letter 'H' is the definite article, 'The'. The last two letters: 'MY' [im] indicate that this noun is in the plural form. The remaining letters: 'LPN' show the root of the name......'nephil'.

Secondly, students of The Scripture recognise that the meaning of a word is found in the context of its first use in the book or document using the word being studied. In this case it is the book of Genesis. In these days of computers, it is easy to search through this book for the first occurrence of the letters 'LPN'. They occur in the following passage:

And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD. And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering: But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?  [Gen 4:3] 

The offering that Cain made was not acceptable to God. This rejection made Cain angry and resentful, such that his countenance fell. The Hebrew of the words 'fell' and 'fallen' is 'LPN'. Thus Cain became known by God as the rebellious one, typified by his fallen countenance...The Fallen One, and his generation by the name 'The Fallen Ones' or  THE NEPHILIM [Heb: MYLPNH]. This understanding of the meaning of this name is based entirely upon the Word of God, and not upon any secular documents or guesswork.

From this it is not difficult now to recognise the origin of such men as Quetzalcoatl, Oannes and even Osiris. They were of the generation of Cain, having returned to earth at the time that The Sons of God married the daughters of Seth.......'in those days'. They were teachers of mankind, appearing again after the Universal Flood......'and also afterward'. This is stated in the following passage which describes the activity of the children of Cain. Jabal taught farming, Jubal taught music and the arts, Tubalcain instructed craftsmen in the use of brass and iron. These are the three fundamental activities of mankind....agriculture, art and industry.

A. 'Cain went out from' In verse 14, Cain accuses God: 'You have driven me out from the face of the Earth'. Notice the phrase 'out from' in both statements, the one defined by 'from the face of the Earth'. Cain says also: 'from Thy face shall I be hidden'. The word 'hidden' [Strong: 5641] means 'to hide oneself', having the sense of fleeing and fearing. So it is evident that Cain wished to hide himself in fear away from the presence of God, off the face of the Earth.

B. 'from the presence of' are the same Hebrew words as 'from the face of'.

C. 'the land of Nod' is a very interesting phrase having nothing to do with sleep! This is what it looks like in Hebrew: DWN-CRAb. Reversed into the anglicised form, reading from left to right:

bARC-NWD

Here it is divided into its parts: 

b      ARC      -      NWD

the....land of....[maqqeph]....Nod

Giving each piece of the phrase as follows:

b...........The definite article. This place is not one of many which the absence of the definite article would imply.

ARC........These three letters are exactly the same as those used in Genesis 1:1 where it says: In the beginning God created the Heaven and the Earth. Yes, the word refers to our.......planet Earth. Sometimes it is convenient to translate the word 'land', but not in this case, since these verses are talking in planetary terms. At this point in history there was only one land mass [Genesis 1:9] named Eden. Therefore there were no other land areas on the Earth, 'East of Eden'.

-- ............This little mark, part of the Hebrew grammar, tells us a very important fact. Hebrew scholars name it a 'maqqeph' whose meaning is as follows:

When two or more Hebrew words are closely associated in meaning, like a preposition and its object, they are often joined together by a hyphen like line called a 'maqqeph'. For grammatical purposes, they are considered virtually as one word.

In order to understand this, here is an example:

In Genesis 2:16 there is the phrase: 'tree of the garden' which is written in Hebrew thus: NNH - SI  Here the maqqeph joins two nouns, 'tree' and 'garden', as it does in the phrase 'land of Nod' .....'land' and 'Nod'. In the Hebrew there is no word 'of', simply 'the garden-tree' and 'the land-nod' 

As a further example, we say in English: 'Atlantic Ocean', where two nouns are put together to describe a place. The first noun, ATLANTIC, derives its meaning from the mythological figure of Atlas, 'the keeper of the tall pillars which hold heaven and earth asunder' which the Greeks believed rested in the sea immediately beyond the westerly horizon, the edge of the European land mass. The second noun OCEAN, is derived from the Greek word: 'Okeanos' meaning 'the encompassing' because on their ancient maps,  the 'ocean' was wrapped round that known land mass of Europe. We have come to know this 'pool' which divides America from Europe as the.......'Atlantic Ocean'

NWD........................This is the second noun in the phrase 'land of Nod'. The translators did not know what to make of it so they transliterated the word, that is they made no attempt to translate it, merely copying the Hebrew letters into English letters. It has a basic meaning however which is given as: 'to be moved, to be agitated, to wander' and as a noun: 'a wanderer'

Thus the Hebrew title DWN-CRAb. means literally:  The Earth-Wanderer

Again reversing it to the Anglicised form: 

QDMT - IDN     p; 

East ......[a maqqeph]........ Eden

Here again the two words are joined by a maqqeph, indicating that they are closely associated, being considered as one word......East Eden. But firstly we must understand that the Earth at this time was one large island as the following passage describes:

And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good. [Genesis 1:9-10]

So let us look at the deeper meaning of the two nouns which make up this phrase and remember that we are considering the place of a dwelling which is not on the Earth.

Eden[5730-1].........NDI The Hebrew meaning of this word is: delight, pleasure, to live sumptuously, delicately. This is the condition of the renamed Earth after God had performed His creative acts of restoration, described in Genesis chapter 1, upon its former  condition of: 'without form and void', stated in the second verse of that chapter.

East[6926]...........TMDQ The Hebrew meaning of this word is: 'before, to the front of, particularly in the direction of the rising sun'.

If we now gather these pieces of understanding together we can paraphrase these words in this way: When looking Eastward from the restored Earth, toward the place where the sun rises, we will see an earth-like 'wanderer'.

This is clear, but we still need to interpret the phrase 'earth-like wanderer'. In the New Testament Greek there is a word: 'planEtEs'  which is translated as 'wandering star', or according to Thayer, just 'wanderer'. Throughout the years, astronomers have always recognised planets as 'wanderers' because from the position of the Earth, they appear to wander back and forth across the starry background. All the planets have orbits round the sun, including the Earth of course. Moons are regarded as having orbits around the planets.

The wanderer we are considering is 'closely associated' with the Earth, so therefore must have its orbit around the Earth, but remains East of Eden.

In these enlightened days of spaceships, moon landings and terraforming, it is certainly not difficult to understand this meaning of the phrase in question. Man has rocketed satellites into orbit around the earth and caused many of them to be stationary above certain places in order that communication signals will remain constant. These are known as geo-stationary orbits, i.e. when we look upward, we would see these satellites apparently hanging there in space.

The object we are considering however, wanders about but generally stays in the same place. How can this be? We shall need to think in three dimensions.

If the object's orbit is slightly eccentric to the position of the Earth, as days go by, it will appear to wander from side to side. If the plane of its orbit is slightly more or less than 90 degrees to the Earth's axis, it will appear to wander up and down. If both these conditions were active, it would be difficult to estimate where it was going to appear the next day. It would be visible in the East except during the hours of sunrise when the brightness of the sun would dominate.

12. We know that the Wanderer planet, Mars does not revolve round the Earth nowadays. It is not identified with our Moon because that was not in orbit around the Earth before the Universal flood. After the latter, when the rain and mists had cleared, the Moon was first seen and named in the Hebrew 'new', meaning that it had not been present before. The Wanderer plane, Mars, was no longer present in its orbit around the Earth, but had been disturbed into an orbit around the sun, having a new name, based upon its cause of the catastrophic Earth floods. It is probable that the 'new', that is the Moon when approaching the Earth, was the cause of the disturbance of the  Mars orbit around the Earth in such a way that it came near to the Earth and thus discharged the water in its seas upon the Earth. At the same time it would 'pull' at the waters of the earth. Being much smaller than the Earth, the stronger gravity of our planet would have 'pulled' the seas from Mars across the gap between the two planets. The Bible puts it this way: 

'all the fountains of the great deep were risen, and the windows of the heavens were opened up, and the rain was on the earth forty days and forty nights'. 

The generation of Cain upon Mars at that time would have suffered in the resulting disturbance.

13. Underlying this study, are two questions:

How was Cain able to travel from Earth to The Heavens ?

From whence did Cain's generation gain their knowledge ?

We have seen in Items 10 and 11 above, that Cain was deeply resentful of God's decision not to accept his offering, thus compelling him into exile and opposition to the acts of God. Satan, the source of all the unGodly rebellious activity found in the heart of mankind, helped Cain to achieve his purpose, as the following passage confirms:

For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous. [1John 3:11]

This is a statement written in the Greek of the New Testament. The word 'of' translates the Greek word 'ek'. This is best explained by reference to parallel passages a little later in this letter, where John tells his Christian readers:   'Ye are of God'  and again:  'We are of God, he that knows God hears us; He that is not of God, does not hear us'. Cain's allegiance was given to 'that wicked one', even Satan. Whereas the Christian's allegiance is given to God, even The Lord Jesus Christ.

It is known from the Scriptures that a third of all the angelic powers have chosen to give their allegiance to this rebellious being, who had been God's 'anointed cherub.....until iniquity was found' in him. It is not therefore difficult to recognise that the expertise needed to travel from Earth to The Heavens was given to Cain by these Angelic Powers. We are aware to-day that the technology needed to overcome gravity enables vast weights to float above the earth and even move from earth into outerspace. Tubal-cain would have been the one to develop such knowledge being 'an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron'. Similarly the superior knowledge of these powers was easily acquired by Cain's generation who recognised that 'knowledge is power'. They therefore established an hierarchy, subjecting much of mankind to the rebellious attitude of their leader. This hierarchy has existed from that time forth. 

14.

Thus we have come to understand how the Scriptures tell us that The Planet Mars was occupied about 5,500 years ago, when Cain, by his self exile began to build an empire in the heavens. They returned to Earth on many occasions, being described in the Christian Scriptures as men, gigantic men. They taught the origins of Agriculture, manufacturing of metals and many aspects of the arts. Sometimes the Scriptures named these giants. One, Goliath, was fought and killed by the boy David, the future king of Israel. Their remains have been excavated in many places throughout the Earth. One example is shown here.

For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
