    In Luke 11:51 Abel has been called a prophet. A prophet is one who speaks on behalf of God. So perhaps Abel was given instructions on sacrificial offerings which were shared with Cain. The instructions were to sacrifice an unblemished lamb with the fat. It was to be offered with a pure heart and...

    Isaiah 53 is similar to Cain and Abel (evil man slaughtered Christ) All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. 7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb...

    Is this place a temporary test where there will be Judgement for everyone that ever lived? Then why wouldn't the mark of the beast be available from the start? Why would only the people at the very end be offered it? Could something more obvious be offered at the end?
