1 Corinthians 12:4
King James Version
4 Now there are diversities of gifts,
but the same Spirit.
What were the first industries man got into?
Rather, what was he assigned to do?
After the FIRST designer, we now turn to the FIRST industries.
SPIRIT led me to Scripture, that I may know.
And here's what I found:
The FIRST job:
Genesis 2:15
King James Version
15 And the Lord God took the man,
and put him into the garden of Eden
to dress it and to keep it.
The FIRST industries:
Genesis 4:1-2
King James Version
4 And Adam knew Eve his wife;
and she conceived,
and bare Cain, and said,
I have gotten a man from the Lord.
2 And she again bare his brother Abel.
And Abel was a keeper of sheep,
but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
We all know what jealous Cain did to his brother.
GOD then cursed Cain, declaring him a "fugitive and a vagabond".
As a result:
Genesis 4:16
King James Version
16 And Cain went out from the presence of the Lord,
and dwelt in the land of Nod,
on the east of Eden.
Cain started a family, and became the FIRST builder.
Genesis 4:17
King James Version
17 And Cain knew his wife;
and she conceived, and bare Enoch:
and he builded a city,
and called the name of the city,
after the name of his son, Enoch.
The family of Cain grew, through Enoch.
Genesis 4:18-19
King James Version
18 And unto Enoch was born Irad:
and Irad begat Mehujael:
and Mehujael begat Methusael:
and Methusael begat Lamech.
19 And Lamech took unto him two wives:
the name of the one was Adah,
and the name of the other Zillah.
Herein began other industries, and crafts.
Cattle-raising started.
Genesis 4:20
King James Version
20 And Adah bare Jabal:
he was the father of such as dwell in tents,
and of such as have cattle.
Music began.
Genesis 4:21
King James Version
21 And his brother's name was Jubal:
he was the father of all such as handle
the harp and organ.
Metalworks began, too.
Genesis 4:22
King James Version
22 And Zillah,
she also bare Tubalcain,
an instructer of every artificer
in brass and iron:
and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah.
The BIBLE is a rich source of GOD's TRUTH.
And of man's forgotten history.
Stuff we tend to take for granted.
But not so, when you're born again.
Who hungers for GOD's story, truth, and commands.
We ought to let SPIRIT teach us to understand GOD's sacred WORD.
And be forever BLESSED by it.
