Lets Think: WHO DID CAIN MARRY AFTER HE KILLED ABEL?

Who did Cain marry after he was cursed? Were there other humans on the earth?

Have you ever been asked this question? Or maybe you have wondered about this secretly.

Wondering how Cain could have found a wife after killing his brother and leaving the only other two individuals who were on the earth. You may have accepted this by faith before now and boldly declared your trust even though your understanding was unfruitful. I commend you on this because I too have tried to explain this, in an all too unsatisfactory way, in the past.

Let me try to help your faith by helping provide what I believe is a clear answer from scriptures. This will equip you to answer this question in a world that increasingly distances herself from what they consider mere 'faith'.

So here goes.

The scriptures rightly says that Cain left His parents and established a civilization and got married but please note that it did not state the time it took for all these events to take place. It also does not provide us with any detail on Cain's age so we can try to predict how long it took for this to happen. This is a very telling fact in providing a response to the question posed above.

You see, most times because we read biblical events that occur immediately after the other in their narrative, we fail to appreciate how much time may have passed between one sentence or verse in the bible to the next sentence or verse.Between the time it took Cain to leave and when he married, several years must have passed.In fact enough time for Adam and Eve to have given birth to Seth and other sons and DAUGHTERS (Gen. 5:4). I also believe that even the DAUGHTERS born to Adam had enough time to give birth to other DAUGHTERS and so on, enough for Cain to be spoiled for choices, when he decided to get married.

In case you are wondering why I can boldly make the above statement, consider that these people lived very much longer lives than we live today! From scripture their average lifespan, haven't calculated but I think you can accommodate a guess here, was more than 700years! With that kind of time on your hands you would be a mere 'teenager' at 100 years of age! After-all, Noah had enough strength in him to build an ark at close to 600.

So if we agree up to this point, can you then agree that if Cain killed Abel at 20 years for example. Adam's descendants had more than enough time to multiply, even by our standard, for him to get a bride or several choices of brides.

Think about this.
