Is Cain Still Wandering The Earth? | Biblical Mysteries

Most people know of Cain - arguably, the world’s very first murderer, at least according to the biblical story. This was a character who through jealousy and resentment of his younger brother Abel, would lure him out into the fields and strike him dead. This narrative leads us to believe that with Abel dead, there were only three people left living on the earth - Cain, his father Adam and his mother Eve. So there was not too much speculation as to who had fired the smoking gun… or, in this case, the smoking rock. The biblical God is shown to be far more active during these parts of the narrative and so, he already knows Cain is the murderer and sentences him to wander eternally.

The curse is only that’s he’s alive.
During the various events of the Earth, he could be buried deep in the rubble just stuck in the ground.
The pure definition of buried alive

0:21 It says in the Bible that Cain was afraid of the people in the other towns would kill him if they found out so God gave him a mark and cursed him. So we know that there were more people than just those three. It is believe there is a gap between a few points in Genesis. That it covers the important events and leaves the filler space unrecorded.

I could think of no greater curse then to walk the earth forever unable to die and watching every person I loved turn to dust . It's truly a fate worse then death

[Abioticwinter]

Hes a retired WWE legend now. Also i heard hes like a mayor of a small town. Life is crazy.

[kevinseanzebua]

You got it wrong there. The mark doesnt protect Cain from being murdered. Its just that, if someone murdered him, Cain would be avenged

[bjmusicman]

Apparently when he appears, a booming voice can be heard exclaiming:

“That’s gotta be Cain!
That’s gotta be Cain!!”

[skynetprime]

For cain to still be alive today would make my head explode with shock and awe especially considering the length of time that's passed between then and now

[swagnilla_ice]

He's dead - he wasn't made immortal - just cursed to forever wander the earth while he was alive. Only two people in the Bible ever did not experience death - Enoch (a descendant of Adam before the Flood of Noah) and the prophet Elijah. Ironically, Enoch was also a prophet.

[Vossenator]

Cain being cursed to being immortal and being afraid of people killing him and forced to wander throughout the world throughout history seems like a fitting punishment for the man that brought the first murder into this world. It wouldn't surprise me if he was wandering around the world, alone and miserable and devastated at the world he helped create.

[ngelkiel]

I don't think so. He would not have survived the great flood. But if he is alive today, his whereabouts would be unknown since nobody will notice an immortal being is walking among them.

[AcM.]

If he is still walking the earth, he's got to be one of the wealthiest people alive

Welcome to the cornerstone of nearly every version of modern vampire lore.

[MarioTheLiopleurodon]

You go to the zoo with some friends. There's an elderly man tossing some feed to the zebras. His skin is olive in color, his shoulder-length curly hair is grey with streaks of black and silvery-white, and he has a large bushy beard with the same colors. You look at his arm and notice a strange mark, it has a deliberate shape like a scar from getting burned with a branding iron, but its color is unnatural as if a tattoo-artist added color to it. He notices you staring and says "I've changed since then. Now I tend to the animals, it's a peaceful life and carries on my brother's work."

This would be an awesome movie. Kind of like interview with a vampire, except it would be an interview with Cain.

[gellingmusic]

Of course he's alive. He fought the undertaker at wrestlemania

[BuddyPhillips-ibwq]

Hebrews 9:27 "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment"


Cain is dead, but the spirit of murder is still roaming today. As is the Jezebel spirit

[AzraelGamimg]

Another part of his curse was for him to “wonder the earth for the rest of his days” meaning he would die of old age

[gustavmetal]

White Wolf's lore making him the first vampire is a very interesting take on Cain still being around. Very recommended.

[Raycloud]

The original Command & Conquer game had the concept of Cain (Kane) being very much alive and having organized and run a cult for thousands of years. According to the lead designer he would spend long periods utterly uninterested in the affairs of man, devoting himself to private pursuits. However when the game takes place his cult has risen in prominence as a world power and he competes with the a fictionalized NATO of sorts or dominance over the Earth, motivated by visions of catastrophe that have convinced him only he and his "Brotherhood of Nod" can save mankind from extinction.

Now, later on this lore was ignored or retconned but I always found the original concept fascinating and original.

[EpicAnimated]

The Cain being alive today is a concept I'm gonna add to my story. Thanks for the history theories lol.
