Where is the land of Nod?

[Codee]

I have a question and I know someone here has the answer.

Cane takes off in genisis and finds a wife in the land of Nod. Where is this land of Nod and who lived there? If they weren't involved with Adam and Eve, who birthed them?

Thank you to whoever takes the time to answer.

Just south of the lands of Linken, and Blinken.

No one really knows exactly where this was. However we are told that it was on the Eastern part of Eden (Genesis 4:16). The real question I believe you are asking is how could Cain find a wife over there since according to the Bible the entire human race were all descendants of Adam and Eve.

The answer is rather simple. First of all you would have to know that Adam lived 930 years total (Genesis 5:5, keep in mind this before polution was introduced to the world and the environment was perfect which allowed for men to live so long). In 930 years Adam and Eve would have produced many offspring (both boys and girls) one of which would have become the eventual Mrs. Cain. As the population grew, people would have migrated to the outskirts over time such that some probably wound up in Nod.

This seems to be the most reasonable explanation (althouhg I am sure there will be those who disagree) which is consistent with the Bible record/account.

By the way for those who are going to claim ******, there was not such thing back in those days but regardless with a 930 ywear lifespan (keep in mind Adam was born a full fledged man) Cain could have married a second or even third cousin. We are given specifics on who he married. All we know is that we exiled by God being a murdurer and I'm sure his morals wouldn't have been an issue in terms of who he decided to marry.

We are not given specifics on who he married nor as to how old he was at the time. We are just told that he did. All we know is that he was exiled by God for being a murdurer and I'm sure his morals wouldn't have been an issue in terms of whom he decided to marry (even if it was sister which I doubt).

okay... this is just my own personal little indulgent revelation... In truth.. If I know ANYTHING... it's that I don't know

I tentatively suggest that both Darwin and the Bible are correct..

As I recall there are 3 layers to the brain... the reptilian, mammalian, and human layers.

I speculate that prehistoric man's brain evolved (Darwin) until he became physiologically capable of being a vessal for divine inspiration and spiritual discernment.

I don't think Adam was the first physical homosapien, but rather the first man "with a soul"

Apparently Adam and his first wife, Lilith, didn't get along very well... It is said she was too proud, to follow Adam, and left. (Lilith is mentioned only once in the Bible, in Isaiah 34:14, where she is listed along with hyenas and jackals as those who dwell in the ruins of God-forsaken Edom.)

God, in turn, blessed Adam with a spiritually inspired woman, made from Adams rib.

Just as all things flow from God, such is the same with Adam. God as a singularity, made a spiritually inspired man, as Himself (in His own image), a singularity.

Thus, all spiritually capable men and women, are born of Adam.

It's probably crap, but I thought I'd throw it out there.. lol

What say ye?

For HIS Glory,
Akira

Greetings,
the "land of Nod" means; to wander, a vagabond, not a tiller of the soil.
The earth already had pre-Adamic peoples here when ha-Adam {The Adam] "arrived".
Ever heard of "the wandering Jew"? Cain's descendents...now not all Jew's are of Cain...so paint with a small brush, and judge their fruits.
The sting of the serpent is USURY...and Cain went and built a CITY, like for who? Think and read scripture at the same time, who knows what will come forth.
Adam/Eve, well it took 130 years for them to get clean enough to produce Seth...130 years.
Cain took a wife from the pre-Adamics.
Some still BELIEVE that Noah...pure in his generations, produced 3 sons, all of a different color??? Never took college biology eh? The biggest fantasy land, is not legal land, but church doctrine land!
Anyone use a Strongs Concordance here? Nod has an ancient defination attached to it.

Codee;
Try to think of it in a different way in that the men were called the Adam's and the women were called the Eve's.

For a different look into this is a starting video to look at by Michael Tsarion.
The video quality is not so great but the material is.

Gen 1:30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat:and it was so.
Gen 1:31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
Gen 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
Gen 2:2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
Gen 2:3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
Gen 2:4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,
Gen 2:5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.
Gen 2:6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed3335 (853) man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

I think Genesis is very misunderstood. You will notice in the above scriptures I left in the Strong's numbers. There is a difference between Genesis 1 and 2 in Hebrew. The word bara is used in chapter one to describe the creation of man.....This word simply means to create. Man can also be translated mankind as a species if you look at Strong's #120.

Chapter 2 is commonly described as a summary of chapter 1. I disagree....God rested and the proceeded to make another man. I say this because the word formed (yatsar) has a far different meaning. Yatsar is like the potter using his hands to being something together. Bara (create) is merely spoken. Many ancient histories state that a people sprung forth suddenly in Mesopotamia about 5500 BC and they were a ruling class.

Im thinking that the various races of manking were created during various times during the 6th day/age (this is also a legitimate translation of yome) Chapter 2 is the line of Adam/Seth who were called the Sons of God. In other words Mrs Cain was a 6th day creation whom Cain (8th day) took to wife. In Biblical gematria 8 is the number of new beginnings.

Where did you get this from?

Cain nor any of his descendants were Jews. The first Jew was Jacob who was the son of Isaac who was the son of Abraham. Even Abraham technically was not a Jew (although the Jews probably claim he was) as the Jewish religion did not exist until Jacob became Israel.

My understanding of the term “wandering Jew” refers to the Jews in Exodus who were led out of Egypt by Moses and wandered in the wilderness for 40 years trying to reach the promised land. There is also a plant which is named after that.

Impossible. This is propaganda put out by white supremacist groups to justify racism and who falsely claim to be followers of Jesus Christ. They use the account of Ham’s sin and the curse put on him by Noah and try and claim it belongs to the black race. If Ham were black then his two brothers Shem and Japheth would also have to have been black as well since they both came from the same mother. This is an abomination to God. They even have a corrupted version of the Bible which supports this nonsense (Dake’s Bible). The God of the True Bible does not look at nor care about race, we are all of one blood. Race is strictly a manmade issue and has nothing to do with God.
