Obviously Cain’s wife would have been his sister. Possibly a rebellious sister who had trouble with what God required.

The only one there that really interests me is Melchizedek.

It would make sense that he might be Shem, as Shem was still alive and not that far apart, generationally speaking from Abraham.

The Beloved Disciple

The most obvious nominee is John the Apostle, one of Christ’s inner circle of 12 and the namesake of the Gospel. But none of the 12 apostles were present at the crucifixion, so that crosses him off the list...

Say wha..? Don't think that's a mystery.

Bump for later.

The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.
Deut 29:29.
Not a problem at all. While these individuals remain mysterious, the Lord has chosen not to reveal anything more than what is in the Bible. This list is just that—it serves to wet your appetite and read it. But there is much more in the Bible that is “mysterious.” How about the “sons of god” mentioned in Genesis? Who were they and did they really mate with human women?

And who were those three guys that walked to meet Abraham in Genesis chapter 18? And they ate lamb, something that if it is good enough for God, it is good enough for me.

We are not to know everything it seems, and we do not.

Rosicrucians is a keyword to this story? Alright.

Melchizedek is interesting in that I suspect he is in some way linked to the Code of Hammurabi.

Adam and Eve were the first Humans created....God may have create others after the fall.

I always wondered about three in particular.

One is the demoniac from whom Jesus casts the demons into the swine.

Another is the unnamed follower who runs off from Gethsemane after he loses his clothes when they try to capture him.

The third is the young man found in Jesus’ tomb who basically announces the resurrection.

New Testament writings assert that Christ was “a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek,”

Mitt Romney is also.

I went to the link and read the whole thing.

Very interesting material. Thanks for posting the article.

Interesting post! Thanks, 2DV.

“He later killed his younger brother Abel in a hissy fit over his sacrifice of meat being more favored than Cain’s sacrificial fruit basket.”

Hissy fit? Haha. That’s one way to put it.

Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich described Melchizedek as an angel.

Wasn’t Melchizedek the name of an enemy of Superman? He would create all kinds of mischief and Superman would trick him into saying his name and poof he would would vanish to to his dimension........ : )

I was expecting to see Joseph of Arimathea in this list. Especially given his later apocryphal travels.
