The First Human War
Friday and Saturday we offered God's rebuke of his angel Lucifer, known as Satan. This was the first war. It continues all these centuries later, on earth, although our Lord could end it today if he wished.
He wants people to learn of him, to choose him, and to live by his commandments - such as love. He will deal with Satan and other fallen angels at a time of his choosing.
So, what about the first war among humans? It didn't take long.
Adam and Eve's first child was named Cain. The second child was Abel. When they were adults and brought their offerings, the Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering.
God gave instructions to disappointed Cain that would enable him to please the Lord in the future.
But Cain wasn't satisfied. He killed his brother Abel. The first human war - brother vs. brother. Human nature prevailed. Genesis chapter 4.
