Of One Blood

The Death of Abel. Gustave Doré

Once again it has been forgotten: The "Lord of heaven and earth... hath made of ONE blood all nations of men... on all the face of the earth" (cf. Act 17:26)
And once again last night, blood cried unto Him from the ground.

"And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him. And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper? And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground. And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand" (Genesis 4:8-11).
