THE VENGEANCE OF LAMECH

Genesis 4:23-24 (NASB)
23 Lamech said to his wives,
“Adah and Zillah,
Listen to my voice,
You wives of Lamech,
Pay attention to my words,
For I have killed a man for wounding me;
And a boy for striking me!
24 “If Cain is avenged seven times,
Then Lamech seventy-seven times!”

We see here Lamech, the great-great-grandson of Cain. We also see his pride, in which he gives attention to his words by the capacity to inflict pain, wound or death. He even killed a boy. The Hebrew word used here is wə-ye-leḏ, which is also used in Genesis 44:20 and other places in the meaning of a child: yeled: child, son, boy, youth.

We see Lamech's unforgiving nature that multiplied evil and vengeance seventy-sevenfold, rather than making peace. We know how that ended for the descendants of Cain. None of them entered the means of salvation from the Great Flood, the Noah's Ark.

We also see his wives Adah and Zillah who encouraged Lamech's ways as the ways of a real man - feeling security in a man quick to kill, rather than settle arguments with reason, logic, and wisdom.

Despite the physical attraction that deceived even the angels of God, these women were bad news - they were materialistic, ready to encourage men to kill or commit crimes so they would have social status, status symbols and wealth.

The notion of women like angels is predominantly pagan, and even then restricted to virgins in most traditions. We see the land of Shinar in the Book of Zechariah, in which women bring corruption by exalting an ephah ("basket") between Heaven and earth.

As with the cult of Astarte that probably started with the deification of Nimrod, who first after the Flood claimed the divine right to rule by the will of God (Genesis 10:8). He used this power in a first totalitarian rule, making all mankind build the useless tower of Babel, much like thousands of years after pharaohs will demand building of pyramids.

But the other things we see here is that the female authority, using their closeness to reproduction (symbolised by wings of a stork) to manipulate mankind and exalt the material things on the pedestal half the way to Heaven.

A man can eventually deduce that a car is a piece of metal and as atom is sized an Angström and the atom iron core is 10,000 times smaller - a car is largely vacuum and 99.9999999999999% void. The visible material world is made of elements and atoms (largely nothing) and visible because atoms (or their electronic clouds) deflect incoming light.

Yet you will see an attractive woman advertising the car, because every businessman knows that "sex sells", so with and expensive and luxurious cars there is an inherent promise of mating and reproduction, just like with all of the material wealth. Women give spiritual value worth to kill and die for to material objects, money and gold (Mammon).

There is practically no example of a woman sitting in the jungle in all discomfort on scarce food and droplets of water.

Such women started with Adah and Zillah, but already in the time of prophet Zechariah their corruption replaced any worship or holy thing in Heaven or on earth with the material.

Zechariah spoke openly about this, and no wonder - our Lord witnessed, that he was stoned in the very Temple of Solomon, unlike all of the false prophets.

The nature of Cain's daughters Adah and Zillah cannot inherit the Kingdom of Heaven - there is also very little to mend in witchcraft, spiritism, murders, greed, avarice, seduction games and infidelities, in the last hundred years crowned with abortion and infanticide (the cult of Moloch).

In the times of coming of Jesus as expected son of David and Messiah, only those who were marginalised by their sin - prostitutes and tax collectors - were aware of the need for a change. Herodias and her daughter did far worse by their plot and murder of John the Baptist, but saw no need for a change or conversion.

in Christ Jesus
Amen

AUTHORITY OF THE SCRIPTURE

Zechariah 5
The Woman in a Basket
5 Then the angel that talked with me went forth, and said unto me, Lift up now thine eyes, and see what is this that goeth forth. 6 And I said, What is it? And he said, This is an ephah that goeth forth. He said moreover, This is their resemblance through all the earth. 7 And, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah. 8 And he said, This is wickedness. And he cast it into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof. 9 Then lifted I up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came out two women, and the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heaven. 10 Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah? 11 And he said unto me, To build it an house in the land of Shinar: and it shall be established,
and set there upon her own base.
