Who has the mark of Cain today and have authority to rule over the disobedient as Cain did? What was the mark of Cain that identified the rulers of evil from God’s people? “Every false religion . . . has been based on the Cain principle, that man can depend upon his own merits and righteousness for salvation” (ST, December 23, 1886). When Cain killed Abel, God put a mark upon him and gave him authority to rule over those who rebelled against the authority of God. The mark of Cain, or the sign of Anu, is in contrast to the sign of God, the Sabbath, as given in Exodus 31:13. God’s sign is a sign of obedience which acknowledges the authority of God. Through history, the rulers of evil have followed in the steps of Cain. God permitted Pharaoh to subject His people to bondage. He permitted Nebuchadnezzar to carry His people to Babylon. And He permitted Herod to rule and examine Christ at His crucifixion. Likewise, God permits the rulers of evil to exercise their authority to this day. Who rules with Cain’s authority today? Walter Veith answers this question in this introductory lecture on the Herodian mind. For more lectures please visit:
