were living for such long periods like nine adds, somebody sixty years or seventy

years younger to them, you could have even been like he married his niece.

Today, we're going to address one of the most important questions that a

lot of people ask very frequently. Some of them asked with the genuinity of

their heart. Some of them asked with an intention of Hey, I found

a mistake with the Bible. Hey I found there is a controversy with the

Bible. I found an error with the Bible. Whatever be it. We're

going to address this important question, who was Kane's wife? Why is the

Bible silent about details like these? Why is the Bible silent about these things?

And making us feel like there was a controversy there was something like who

did Kane marry Kane? Because people read the Bible from a superficial level.

They just read that Adam and Eve had two sons, Kane and Abel,

and then they read that Kane killed Abel, and they're like, the Bible

says that Kane went and married somebody and started a city. That seems like

a controversy. Whom did he marry? How many people were there to start

a city? It doesn't just say started a community. This isn't say he

started a village or a town. It says he started a city. Well,

I want to start up by giving you an analogy to help you understand

the Bible from this perspective, and then I want to take this forward.

Okay, okay, listen to Scaffrey. How many people sailed on the actual

Titanic? Do you know how many people sail? You're like, John,

I don't know. Maybe roughly, can you think? Okay, let me

just say come out straight, okay, roughly, you see they were around

two thousand and three hundred people on the Titanic. Okay, let's take a

rough figure of two thousand and three hundred people on the actual Titanic. Now,

I'm sure you would have seen the Titanic movie. Right, that's one

of the most watched movies. I think so many people have watched all over

the world. Now tell me, honestly, that's the movie Titanic. Tell

you the eight said of all the two thousand and three hundred passengers, that's

it. Due that Does it tell you where they came from, what were

they doing, what happened when the heights were kide, what happened to them

eventually? How did they die? Did they survive? Does it tell you

all those details? No? Right, the movie just focuses on the main

characters. Of course, the movie focuses on Jack and Rose, who are

fictional. But when you look at the real characters like the captain or Bruce

has made the owner of the ship, or Thomas Andrews the builder of the

ship, or when you say John Jacobastad the richest man in the world,

who was traveling on the ship, these main characters who were on the ship

are being focused throughout you can see what happens to them. You see how

the captain dies, We see how Bruce's may escaped in this lifeboard, and

so on and so far. So we see those details, but we don't

see eights of all the details of all the characters. Why, Why does

that mean they were not there on the real ship? No? But can

you imagine if the movie had to tell you as of all the two thousand

and three hundred people who were on the ship, would you be able to

watch a movie like that? Would they be able to produce a movie like

that? That movie would go forever and ever? And even a movie like

Titanic is three hours and fifteen minutes. That's like pretty long for today's a

span of views, right, like people are not able to watch anything for

longer than like on social media they have to watch for like thirty seconds.

And maybe movies they watch an R or R and with nobody as even the

span of watching something for three and us. Can you imagine a movie that

went on for many days or weeks together, or I don't know, maybe

even months together. If they have to make a movie that runs so much

to tell about every single person who was on the ship. It makes no

sense. I mean, it makes no sense, right why because the emphasis

on the ship, the emphasis is on what happened, the emphasis is on

the main characters. Are you kidding what I'm saying right now? I want

you to understand that when you read the Bible, the Bible is not obligated

to give you all the eight to said, of all the details of every

single person who lived in the Bible times. You have to remember that the

Bible is not obligated to do that. The Bible is not I mean,

and even if the Bible wanted to do it, if the Lord wanted to

give you all the details, it's not necessary. I don't need to know

what did passenger number three hundred and fifty nine do when the ship hit the

high spurg I mean, if I have to see every single passenger's reaction,

some of them are sleeping, and so on and so forth, it's going

to be boring. You'd be like boring, I don't want to watch that,

right. You would say that you want the main highlights. You want

to know what happened. You want to know what happened to the main characters.

And you have to understand that the Bible is also not just written to

you to give you information. The Bible is written as the word of God.

Now, if I am to come and give you a story of my

life, and I came and told you eightsad of all the details, saying,

you know, I was born in this hospital, I was going to

this particular school I was going, and I had a friend with this name,

and so on and so forth. You know, if I gave went

to such details and I told you, you know, I went to church

yesterday. On the way I saw, you know, a blue colored house

on this side, and all of those details, you would say, boring.

I don't want that, John, I don't want that. It's boring.

Right, you want me to tell you the main points, You would

say, get to the point. And that's exactly what God is doing.

We needs telling you. This is what you need to know, just because

I'm not telling you something that's not media didn't happen while I'm recording. Yesterday

was Sunday, and I went to church, I met with these friends.

I was telling them these things and so on and so forth. If I

gave you all the details, you would be bored. But at the same

time, if I told you some of the main points, you would be

like, okay, So John has this kind of a lifestyle. So the

Bible is written in such a way where God gives you an idea of what

happened, to give you the important points that need to be conveyed, but

doesn't have to give you all the details because it's not only going to be

boring, but it's irrelevant to us. So when you look at it in

that perspective, you have to understand. Like the same way a movie Titanic

focuses on the main characters to give you the line of what it is conveying

about the ship and how it comes to an end, and so on and

so forth, it brings out all those things. Same way, the Bible's

focus is entirely towards the main characters who are ultimately in the line of salvation

to tell us the word of God in telling us, this is the plan

of salvation for you. That's what I wanted to understand. That's why the

Bible is specifically focusing on certain details, specifically giving you some details and not

all the details. Now, you may say, but John, let's take

it practically. Whom did Cain marry? Now, let's come to this.

I want to start up by sharing a few scriptures with you and help you

understand this. When you look at Genesis chapter five was three Adam was one

hundred and thirty years old, and he got said and he said it says

he had many other sons and daughters. You have to remember, and many

other sons and daughters. Now you have to remember something very important here.

We look at this old story and think that it was just linear like in

the sense that God created Adam and Eve Adam and he had Caine enabled.

And what happens next Kane kills Able and then Kane goes and marries him somebody

else and builds a city. And after one thirty years you have said,

but you have to remember, that's not the linear order in which things happened,

because you remember, God gave the command to Adam Medie to go and

be fruitful and multiply, right, and so if they were just not being

fruitful and multiplying for one thirty years they didn't do they didn't get any other

sons and daughters, then they were not obeying God's command, which means that

according to studies, they had many sons and daughters by this time already Seth

was not the next son. Okaye, Seth was just one of the sons

they got at the age of one thirty. You have to remember that the

same way when I tell you, like, okay, no, the Titan.

You know, there were two thousand and three hundred people roughly. The

actual count is not two thousand, three hundred. It's just a rough idea.

And to say, okay, they were a round two thousand, three

hundred people, right, we are not getting into the specific same way when

you look at this particular case where the Bible says that God Seth, Seth

is not the third son, you have to remember that because there were many

other sons and daughters by that time, and according to different studies they will

say there were several tens of thousands of people of who are already on planet

third by this time, and initially maybe the brothers you know, intermarried with

their own sisters. But you also have to remember that this was something that

happened over a long period of time. Now we look at it in our

own understanding and today's generation people dye at like seventies, eighties and all of

that, or nineties and stuff. Like that. But back in the day

people were living for nine hundred years right like such long time. And so

when you actually look at it in that context, it does not mean that

Kane killed Abel right away when he was young. It could have happened many

years later. Because you have to remember something here. When you look at

Kane when he was talking to God, he says this. You know in

verse if you look at Kane kill killing Able and then talking to God.

In chapter four he says in verse fourteen, anyone who finds me will kill

me. And then you have to understand that Verse fifteen says the Lord said,

no, I will give you seven I will give a sn punishment to

anyone who tries to kill you. Then the Lord put a mark on Kane

to warn anyone who might try to kill him. Now, want anyone?

What does he mean, want anyone? If there have only four people,

what is there to one year? Like only Adam, Eve and okay,

two people, Adam and Eve. Who is there? It could have been

Abel's wife, could have been a big population which was there already. That's

what I wanted you to understand. We think of the Bible and we just

read like where is this it's there were not just three people there. They

were more than that because the multiplication happened very fast during that period, because

God was intending to multiply humankind throughout the year. So you know, right

from the beginning Adam and Eve and then they had children, and their children

had children. So it could have even been like when Kine married a wife

at this age, you could have even been like he married his niece.

It would have been possible. Because see today people look at it like,

Okay, somebody is marrying somebody ten years younger to them, or you know

something like that, Like we look at it like that. But back in

the day, when people were living for such long periods, like nine hundred

years, they could have even marriaged somebody sixty years or seventy years younger to

them. Are you getting the context here? So I wanted to understand in

that perspective, Kane wanted to marry someone the population was already huge, and

that's how when he married he was able to build a city. The Bible

says building a city is not like a community. It's not like three people

let's started a community. You know, a city is huge. It's not

just the village, not just a town. It's a city, which means

the population was huge by that time. So there was no controversy in the

Bible. When the Bible says that he met and found a wife, there

was a region already, there was a land. And so that is the

whole idea. And when you look at these things and say, why is

the Bible focusing on sets line? Because sets line is where you see Jesus

coming. That's why he's one of the main characters. Like the way the

movie Titanic focuses on the main characters, the Bible focuses on the main characters

and the characters that are not mentioned. You don't need to know. You

don't need to break your head on things that are all mentioned. And just

because they are not mentioned doesn't mean they didn't exist. And when you look

at it in that perspective, you will understand that everything is going to work

out. Just like the movie Titanic, when you see from the beginning to

the end of the main characters are mentioned. From the beginning to the end,

the Bible is focusing on the generational line of Jesus Christ to tell us

about a plan of salvation. Okay, so when you read the Bible,

read with this perspective in mind, and instead of thinking of why are these

detas not given all of that? Understand God will give you the details that

you need. You know, God will give you what you need. God

is not giving you all the information in the world. God is only going

to give you the information you need for your purpose. God will only give

you the information you need to fulfill your call a man. I hope this

was a blessing to you as you watch this video, I really encourage you

to share this around with other people so that a lot of people. I

know this question was given to me by one of my Sunday school students,

and you know, and in many places when I go do conferences and all

of that, this is a question that comes up very frequently when people ask

if can you explain why is the Bible silent about this? Why isn't the

Bible telling me who is Kane's wife? Will Here's some beautiful explanation, So

share it around. Let it be a blessing to them as well. Lord,

I pray for those who have these doubts. Lord, I pray that

this video will go to them and answer them and help them in their life.
