Beware
of the Kenites
By Eric William King
In the first
book of the Bible we read about Adam and Eve and we read
about how they made bad choices and brought sin upon the planet. God in His
mercy still allowed Adam and Eve to produce children. After Adam and Eve had
“infected” all of the New Creation by sinning they then produced
two sons, Cain and Abel.
God
had promised Eve that two “seeds” would come through her womb, one at odds with
the other. We read in Genesis 3:15 regarding what is called “the Adamic Covenant”;
God says; “I will put enmity between
you (Satan) and the woman, between your offspring and hers; he will crush your
head, and you will strike his heel.”
Satan had “fully seduced”
(Greek: exapatao) Eve in the Garden and gave her something that she didn’t want
or need, a seductive “knowledge of Good and Evil” now planted in her soul and
also in her womb through which her first son would come forth - Cain (2nd
Corinthians 11:2-3). Eve would give birth to a son named
Cain and he would turn out to be the “first murderer” and a curse – an image of Satan.
Eve Gives Birth
An
interesting fact to think about is that intermarriages among the children of
the same family were still permitted before the flood. Also God said to Eve; “I will greatly
multiply thy conception.” (Genesis 3:16). This means that births were
much more frequent and sometimes multiple children were born at a time. Some
scholars even suggest that Cain and Abel were twins because of the way that the
Hebrew is worded in Genesis 4:1-2.
“And again, she bore” (Genesis 4:2)
indicates that “right after” Cain came out, out came Abel. This along with “my brother, your brother” throughout the
narrative indicates the probability of Cain and Abel being twins (fraternal
twins - different fathers).
“Now Adam knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain” (Genesis 4:1). The use of “knew” such as in this
case, “Adam knew his wife” is a
Hebrew word indicator of “marriage”, an indication of the relation between the knower and the known. To “know” your wife was to be intimate with her and share
sexual relationships with her.
After Cain
came out of Eve’s womb she said: “With the help of the Lord I have brought forth a
man.” (Genesis 4:1). She thanked the Lord for His mercy.
Cain and Abel are representative men,
Cain representing the “Serpent’s seed” and Abel the “seed of hope”.
Cain becomes Satan’s
Representative
Thus the
descendants of Cain fulfill the prophecy and the promise that Satan would have
a literal genetic seed, or offspring (Genesis 3:15). It is believed that one of Noah’s
son’s wives was a Kenite
and that is how the “seed” of Cain survived the Flood. The Kenites are
mentioned after the Great Flood (1st
Samuel 15:6; Judges 1:16; 4:11). Some believe that all the races including the
Kenites were taken on to Noah’s Ark because God commanded: “You are to bring into the ark two
of all living creatures (Hebrew: “flesh beings”), male and female, to
keep them alive with you.” (Genesis 6:19)
Interestingly Jesus accuses the religious
leaders of His time as being descendants of Cain (John 8:44; Matthew 23:33-36)
Long ago Cain
and his brother Abel came to offer gifts to the Lord. It was to be a “sin
offering” which meant animal blood
sacrifice. Abel offered a blood sacrifice but Cain offered a gift of
“works” - he offered from the ground God had cursed. God accepted Abel’s
offering but rejected Cain’s. He gave Cain another chance but Cain let his
anger get the best of him and when he got the chance he killed his brother
Abel.
Cain Marked
After Cain killed
Abel God “put a mark” upon Cain
(Genesis 4:15). God cursed Cain to make him a “fugitive and wanderer” (Genesis
4:11-15). The “mark” that God placed
upon Cain was actually a “mark of
protection” so that anybody seeing him would not kill him. God was teaching
that “murder” doesn’t justify “murder”.
“Do not be like CAIN, WHO BELONGED TO THE EVIL ONE and murdered his brother. And
why did he murder him? Because his own actions were evil and his brothers were
righteous.” (1st John 3:12)
Cain’s false
religion of “works” is called; “The Way of Cain” (Jude 11) All false
religions are works based and thus
are “Kenite religions”. Many believe that it will be through the Kenite
bloodline that the final Antichrist is born, “The Son of Perdition”.
Kenites Then and Now
Later on in
Bible history we find that many Kenites accepted Yahwism and
were incorporated into the tribe of Judah.
By the time of Jesus Christ some of the Jews
had ancestry line connections to the Kenites. The Kenites are in many
bloodlines today.
The Kenites
are here to disrupt Christians and try to mislead God’s true children. One of
the first and obvious signs of a Kenite is an
aggressive hatred towards Ancient Antiochene Christianity. Anybody
can “turn” Kenite. It is a sad and dark spiritual condition.
There are
some people born who do not have the “gift of faith”, not all have it (2nd
Thessalonians 3:2). As Christians we pray for everybody and keep the faith. Our
work is to share and live the Gospel of Jesus Christ. God is ultimately in
control.
Originally
Christians were called “Followers of the Way”
(Acts 9:2; Acts 22:4; Isaiah 35:8). We were first called “Christians”
in Ancient Antioch (Acts
11:26). False Christians and corrupt religious leaders were called; “Followers of the Way of Cain” (Jude 11).
As Christians we are to
love everybody and hate evil (Proverbs 8:13; Matthew 5:44). Only God truly
knows who His children are. It is true that some Kenites have infiltrated the
Christian Church and would have you not believe that they even exist but
unfortunately, they exist.
The Good News is that God’s true children belong to Him. Nobody
can take God’s elect
away from Him (John 10:28). The Kenites will never give up attacking a
Christian who is going though tuff times. Those who are lost are of this fallen
world. We read; “They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the
world, and the world listens to them. We (Christians) are from God, and whoever
knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us.” (1st
John 4:5-6)
The Adamic Covenant
This whole
topic that we have been discussing is based on “The Adamic Covenant”. Basically
God initiated the Adamic Covenant after Adam sinned. God here establishes the
curses of sin on mankind. The world now is in the status of sin, in fact all of
creation is.
This curse
has been lifted for those who truly believe in Jesus Christ but the rest of the
world will remain under the curse of sin until the Second Coming. After that
this planet will be renewed and enter
the Millennial Age – which is
the Third Earth Age (Revelation 20:2).
God has a
plan and you are in it whether you realize it or not. It is my hope that you continue
your Bible studies with us here at “The Shepherds Way”
and the “Nugget of Truth”.
Resting in
the love of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

There are also false teachers regarding the history of the Kenites:
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately many of them are also Judaizers. They are Kenites teaching that Christians must keep the Mosaic Covenant “feast days” and special “Sabbath days”, “food laws” and they teach a legalism that is quite frankly Satanic.
Having stated that; one group teaches that they invented the ancient doctrine about the Kenites. They state that this is original with them and their group. Wrong! Ancient Hebrew Rabbis and many ancient Christian records show that the doctrine regarding the Kenites is very old and connected to the early Antiochene Church. We have other articles which document these issues.
