+------The First Will Be The Last; Abel's Thoughts As He Made His Offering To God (Before Cain Slew Him) 

Cain dismisses it
as apocryphal: I confide
in him that angels confer
with me beneath the moon,
stars; Secrets amongst wolves
in the den. They say what we see,
hear, taste, touch isn’t real
but reality fleeting. What we give to
God now in time/space, will tender
us rewards eternal (Eden). I beg him,
then, “please live each day as   
if all we know imminently dissipates.”
We must sacrifice our best, our all.

------Genesis 4:1-8; Hebrews 11:4
Adam made love to his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain. She said, “With the help of the Lord I have brought forth a man.” Later she gave birth to his brother Abel. Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil. In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the Lord. And Abel also brought an offering—fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering, but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast. Then the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.” Now Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let’s go out to the field.” While they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.; By faith Abel brought God a better offering than Cain did. By faith he was commended as righteous, when God spoke well of his offerings. And by faith Abel still speaks, even though he is dead.
