"Cain brought of the fruit of the ground" - A Village Called Wall Street






Cherry Blossoms Viewing Party in the Tokyo Suburbs 



A Village Called Wall Street


Suppose there was a village with population of 100.

One of them became rich as his field produced abundant of produce.

But there was one poor man, since he had become ill and couldn't work in the field.  Then an old and respectable man said to the rich man to give some of his fortunes to the poor man.  The rich man didn't obey the instruction.  So, the old and respectable said to the rich man to leave the village.  The rich man didn't obey the instruction.  So, the old and respectable man called other 97 villagers to get ready for expelling the rich man.  This time rich man obeyed the word of the old and respectable man.

So, the villagers enjoyed peace and prosperity with the old and respectable man.

But what would happen if the old and respectable man should die?  Or even before he died, other villages might launch a war against this village to take rich agriculture fields.

Today we see the result.

In this world, it has been long since such villages had gone, leaving full of bad people and bad villages.  One of such bad villages is called Wall Street.

Gen 4:2 And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
Gen 4:3 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.
Gen 4:4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
Gen 4:5 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
