The Main Subject
 
The Works of each Era to establish the Kingdom of saints.
 
God’s Creation purposes the holy Kingdom of saints. For this purpose, the Works in each Era are as follows.
 


1. The Work in Era of Conscience.
 
In this Era, no certain law or standard was established, yet God answered and ruled over those who feared God and offered righteous offerings to Him with their conscience, they had committed sin though.
 
Adam made a mistake of eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge, causing himself to forfeit the blessing, but his spirit didn’t wander off from God, and his family feared Him and offered a sacrifice in their sincere conscience. (Genesis 4:1~4) Nevertheless, God didn’t accept the offering of Cain when he offered it without fear of God.
 
It became the starting point of spiritual depravity. Cain, under his spiritual depravity, became a devil’s tool and murdered Abel. When Adam saw what happened in his family, he realized that it was the consequence of his sin of eating the fruit, and he received by the grace of God a son of the sincere faith in his own likeness, according to his image. (Genesis 4:25, 5:4)
Since then, in Adam’s family, there were a son of dead spirit and a son of living spirit; the successor of Adam’s lineage, the man of living soul, was Seth. (Luke 3:38) On this account, God sanctified the righteous lineage of true religion, apart from the pagan-like lineage of Cain.
 
The sons of the lineage of victimized blood were acknowledged as the sons of God, and the fleshly lineage of the pagan-like was called the daughters of men. (Genesis 6:1~2) This is one of prophetic history of things to take place at the end of man.
 
The victimized blood, which was spread on the ground, will be solved at the end of man. Even though the righteous seed was preserved, the condition that the blessing comes only upon the sanctified life would continue until the end of man. Following are the difference between Adam’s depravity and Cain’s.
 
 
(1) Adam’s depravity
 
This depravity could be redeemed. Adam’s depravity was not the spiritual degeneration; he feared God in his spirit, yet he just was drawn by his lover’s affection momentarily. Therefore, God did not curse Adam but cursed all things given him as blessing. The flesh ate the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and of evil, depraved in its nature, that the body couldn’t deserve the blessing anymore.
 
After forfeiting the qualification of eternal life of the flesh, death begun to reign over the flesh. As a fruit of the depravity, that body gave birth Cain, the unwanted one, and made unwanted enemies, and also caused unwanted labor of sweat and blood. Therefore, Adam was at the starting point of the redeeming religion.
 
In these days, even the redeemed ones fear God in their spirit but their body has to face death, and they have unwanted enemies, bear unwanted evil seed, and keep doing unwanted labor of sweat and blood. Likewise, Adam, too, feared God in his spirit but in his family life of the depraved flesh, the miserable blood was shed. But the blame for the Cain’s sin is not on Adam.
 
(2) Cain’s depravity
 
This depravity could not be redeemed. A son, so-called a fearer of God, intentionally stood against Him and murdered a righteous man; this depravity is hopeless because it’s apostasy. In the same way, even now, if a man calling himself a God-fearer stands against God and kill a righteous one, his spirit is not with hope anymore. Therefore, the religion of redemption has been succeeded from Adam and Seth to the birth of Christ; this is the history of Old Testament.
