Thread Season 4 Episode 19: The Children of the Devil vs The Children of God

Published on: 18th August, 2020

T.S. Eliot, wrote,

“The world turns and the world changes,
 But one thing does not change.
 In all of my years, one thing does not change,
 However you disguise it, this thing does not change:
 The perpetual struggle of Good and Evil.”  (taken from "The Rock")

Cain, the firstborn human, is also the first to hate, to lie, to use brotherly "love" for deception, and the first to murder. He is also the first example of religious persecution. He killed his brother because of the open way he worshipped the Creator God. Soon, Cain's descendants fill the earth with violence and ambition for conquest and human greatness. In the Bible, he becomes the head of an unbroken line of humans at war with God. They are referred to as "the children of the devil". 

In their sights are those who are loyal and loving toward the Creator God.  Join us for this episode of Thread where we investigate the origins of evil on the planet and the roots of the spiritual war that began in the murder of Cain and continues until the return of Christ to defeat this army and its capital city, Babylon. Learn more in this episode of Thread.
