What does the mark on Cain mean?

Answer 1

Does anyone really know? I thought Cain was Big Foot ;) I wish people would actually try to answer the question. It would obviously have to be something visible, because people were to be able to recognize the curse. I hope we get other answers.

Answer 2

This is a allagory.Cain is like the first man.The natural man.Like the natural branchs"Jewish men" killed Christ.They were like their father the devil.Their Mark was they were natural,possessed only the natural knowldge.The way of peace they have not known and so forth.They were in the darkness of creation from the 7th day back.Now the Apostles were born again,they were of the 8th day.Children of the ressurrection through Christ.Adam became a living soul,where Christ became a quickening spirit.And so Christ Quickens his children that are in the natural realm from the natural to the spiritual realm of God.Christ does this in his own time and way and he is faithfully at work.A work he will one day cut short in righteousness.Christ does this for his people that are predestinated and ordained to receive this work of Grace both in their hearts and on their minds and in so doing Christs puts an in to sins.In his people.

Answer 3

Mark Of Cain Meaning

Answer 4

In Christianity and Judaism, the curse of Cain and the mark of Cain refer to the Biblical passages in the Book of Genesis chapter 4, where God declared that Cain, the firstborn of Adam and Eve, was cursed, and placed a mark upon him to warn others that killing Cain would provoke the vengeance of God.

Answer 5

After Cain slew Abel. God cursed Cain to wander the Earth. Cain was fearful that other men would kill him so God put the mark on Cain declaring that he who kills Cain would receive vengeance upon him sevenfold.

Basically the mark warned other people not to kill Cain as he followed out his punishment.

Answer 6

God’s sentencing of Cain to banishment from the ground evidently meant his eviction from the neighborhood of the garden of Eden, and the curse already upon the earth would be increased in Cain’s case, the earth not responding to his cultivation of it. Cain expressed regret over the severity of his punishment and showed anxiety as to the possibility of Abel’s murder being avenged upon him, but still no sincere repentance. Jehovah “set up a sign for Cain” to prevent his being killed, but the record does not say that this sign or mark was placed on Cain’s person in any way. The “sign” likely consisted of God’s solemn decree itself, known and observed by others.—Ge 4:10-15; compare vs 24 where that decree is referred to by Lamech.

Answer 7

Nobody knows for sure. The Mormons say it was that Cain was cursed with black skin and the curse of Cain was on the entire black race:

The Mormon prophet Brigham Young on the appearence of Africans:

“Cain slew his brother....and the Lord put a mark upon him, which is the FLAT NOSE AND BLACK SKIN...”
(Journal of Discourses, Vol. 7, pages 290-291)

From a Mormon Publication:

“Their skin is quite black, their hair woolly and black, THEIR INTELLIGENCE STUNTED, and they appear never to have arisen from the most savage state of barbarism.” The Juvenile Instructor, Vol. 3, page 157)

Besides a black skin, Africans have a black heart, according to Mormon publication Times and Seasons, edited by future prophet John Taylor:

“The descendants of Ham, besides A BLACK SKIN which has ever been a curse that has followed an apostate of the holy priesthood, as well as a BLACK HEART, have been servants to both Shem and Japheth, and the ABOLITIONISTS ARE TRYING TO MAKE VOID THE CURSE OF GOD, BUT IT WILL REQUIRE MORE POWER THAN MAN POSSESSES TO COUNTERACT THE DECREES OF ETERNAL WISDOM.”
(Times and Seasons, Vol. 6, page 857)

Answer 10

The Biblical text only says that God marked him so that no one would kill him. It does not say what the mark is.
