Genesis 4:12 When thou till the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.
The first part of the curse stated that the ground would not produce as it should, when Cain would plant it. Is that a statement of fact, or could it be something that God was going to do unto Cain?
Is it true that when a person sheds innocent blood that such an act adversely affects the ability of the earth to produce? For instance, will those who shed innocent blood in Ukraine, cause the earth that they farm on, to be negatively impacted? These are just a few of the grave questions to be answered.
Answer: It was a statement of fact that God uttered, and not something that God would directly do unto Cain. Sin, in all of its forms will adversely affect the production capabilities of the earth, wherever such sins are being committed. Hence the reason why we have stated on several occasions, that the problem we face is not global warming, it’s global sinning.
Isaiah 24:5 The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. 6 Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore, the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
