Jesus Himself named these Kenites as to who they were in John 8:39-44. In this Scripture we see the same group approaching Jesus. "They answered and said unto Him, Abraham is our father". Jesus saith unto them, "If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham." [39] "But now ye seek to kill Me, a Man That hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham." [40]

Jesus knew the thoughts of their minds, and He reminded them that when you look at your fruits or works, those are not the works of Abraham. Sure these Kenite Pharisees were very religious people, but their deeds and thoughts were that of the devil. They are thinking of murder in their minds, and that is not the mind of Abraham. John called them vipers, the children of Satan the snake in his role from the Garden of Eden.

John 8:41 "Ye do the deeds of your father," Then said they to Him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God." Jesus spelled it out directly for these Kenites Pharisee Jews, the deeds they are doing are those of Satan, not God. These Kenites knew exactly what Jesus was calling them. Jesus was calling them son's of Satan, of Cain, and not of Abraham.

John 8:42,43 "Jesus said unto them, "If God where your Father, ye would love Me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of Myself, but He sent Me." [42] "Why do ye not understand My speech? even because ye cannot hear My word." [43.]

Jesus Christ is the only Begotten Son of God. You simply cannot hear what I am saying because you do not understand the word. Now Jesus spells out for these Kenites in detail just who they are.

John 8:44 "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He [Cain] was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he [Cain] speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own [own father]: for he [Satan] is a liar, and the father of it."

Jesus is telling this group of Kenite Pharisee Jews that they are of the lineage of their father the devil. There is only one devil, and he is Satan. Get it. Satan the devil had a child through Eve in the Garden of Eden, for that is the sin that was committed there. There was on apple tree and the eating of apples has never been the sin spoken of here. This is what the "parable of the fig tree" is all about, being able to identify these Kenites in what ever generation you live in: and especially in ours, the final generation. That's right, the sin in the garden of Eden was sex and Eve conceived a child by both Satan and Adam. Satan's child was Cain, while Adam's child was Abel. these were maternal twins. If Eve continued in labor after she had the first, Cain, then she had another child God names as Abel.

The lineage of Christ came through Seth, the second son of Adam because Cain murdered his half brother Abel who was Adams first son. This is what Jesus is telling these Kenite Pharisees standing before Him. Is it news to them? Hardly for the Kenites know their heritage, and try to keep it hidden. That is why they are so effective in forming their four hidden dynasties. These Kenite Jews took over the Levitical priesthood way back during the Babylonian captivity of the House of Judah, [Judah and Benjamin, with part of Levi tribes], sure some Levitical priests remained in Babylon until Ezra called for them, yet the massive amounts of priests were nothing but Nethinims, strangers given to service in the temple. 

The following reference is to the House of Judah, not the House of Israel. The House of Judah was taken to Babylon during the conquering of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzor in 586BC, 135 years after the House of Israel was captured by their Assyrian conquerors

In 457 BC King Artaxerxes decreeed that any Jew in his realm,
including the priests and Levites,
may return to Jerusalem Ezra 7:13 after the Temple is rebuilt.

Ezra and Nehemiah went back to Jerusalem,
but they took with them only a REMNANT from the House of Judah.
The rest of Judah, the majority of them,
went north over the Caucasus Mountains with the other tribes from the House of Israel
and to this very day most of true Judah and Israel do not know who they are.
Though they basically comprise the Christian nations of the world,
in their ignorance they call themselves gentiles

Now during the trip back to Jerusalem,
at one point Ezra stopped and gathered the people together and took a census.
And guess what he found, or better yet, what he didn't find?

Read it yourself:
Ezra 8:15 And I gathered them together to the river than runneth to Ahava;
and there abode we in tents three days:
and I viewed the people, and the priests, and found there none of the sons of Levi

There were no Levitical priests among them.
NONE!
So Ezra sent some Nethinims, who were temple helpers,
back to Babylon to get some Real Ministers, some genuine Levites,
for the house of God

[17] And I sent them with commandment unto Iddo the chief at the place Casiphia,
and I told them what they should say unto Iddo,
and to his brethren the Nethinims, at the place Casiphia,
that they should bring unto us ministers for the house of our God.

[18] And by the good hand of our God upon us they brought us a man of understanding,
of the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel;
and Sherebiah, with his sons and his brethren, eighteen;

Well, they did what Ezra asked them to.
They brought back some Levites,
but they did not come back with very many

Again, so that we understand the conversation that is about to take place
in John between Jesus and the scribes and Pharisees
we need to know that out of the 400 year period from the time of Malachi,
the last book in the Old Testament,
to the time of Christ would come forth the Great Synagogue

And many of the ruling authorities of the temple,
those religious leaders in charge,
would not be of the seed of Abraham,
i.e. true Israelites or Levitical Priests,
but would be the wicked sons of Cain,
who are called "kenites" (pronounced cainites) in the Bible.

They will try to convince Jesus that they are of the "seed" of Abraham,
BY BIRTH! But they are not!
They are liars and are of the synagogue of Satan (Rev. 2:9, 3:9

Is it any wonder Jesus told them
John 8:44 "Ye are of your father the devil,
and the lusts of your father ye will do.
He was a murderer from the beginning,
and abode not in the truth,
because there is no truth in him.
When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own:
for he is a liar, and the father of it."

It doesn't get any plainer than these words of Jesus Christ.
These particular scribes and Pharisees were not who they claimed to be,
i.e. they were not children of Abraham,
and so by default they could not even be of Judah.
They were descendants of Cain,
the first son of Satan, the first murderer.
It was Cain's offspring, the kenites,
who were responsible for the crucifixion of Jesus Christ,
though Judah has been the one blamed for it.

Now most preachers and ministers and commentaries
will try to "spiritualize away" this 44th verse in John 8,
and say Christ wasn't talking about "sperma", i.e. seed and offspring.

But let me ask you,
is there not a group of people who run around today claiming that they are God's chosen people?

Are they?

Those Christians who belong to the church of Smyrna know they are not!

Rev. 2:8-9 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write;
These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;

[9] I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty,
(but thou art rich) andI know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews,
and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

Those Christians who belong to the church of Philadelphia know they are not!

Rev. 3:7-9 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write;
These things saith he that is holy, he that is true,
he that hath the key of David, he that openeth,
and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;

[8] I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door,
and no man can shut it:
for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word,
and hast not denied my name.

The question is, "Do you know who they are?"

These Kenite strangers took over the duties of the scribes, and changed the Word of God, as is recorded in I Chronicles 2:55. So from that time on, these Jews, since most Christian denominations allow these people, or so called scholars to do their interpreting for them.

I Chronicles 2:55 "And the families of the scribes which dwelt at Jabez [Jerusalem], ; the Tirathites, the Shimeathites, and Suchathites. These are the Kenites that came of Hemath, the father of the house of Rechab."

It is from their interpretations that our people have come to believe fairy-tales, such as the eating of the apple by Adam and Eve, the fly away doctrine doctrine when God's Word teaches against it in Ezekiel 13:20; "Wherefore thus saith the Lord God; `Behold, I am against your pillows [doctrine], wherewith ye there hunt souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will set the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to make them fly." And what is so bad about convincing these souls or people to fly away. They turn their minds from preparing for the return of Satan at the sixth trump, but rather go chasing after Satan believing him to be the Christ. That is there stumbling block, and those souls are not sealed and ready for the tribulation that comes upon them. That tribulation is Satan's lying wonders, lies and deceit. These lies are a tool in the hands of Kenites, and they do know who they are. They rejected Christ them and they reject Him now. They know they are of the Devil, and the Devil's methods are their methods.

Jeremiah 35:18, 19 lets us know their heritage, and they followed the commandments that were laid down for them to follow. They knew that they were not of Abraham or Israel. But remember also, God allowed or used these offspring of Satan to fulfill His plan for our salvation and redemption, to have eternal life. God used Satan's own kids to force the murder of our Lord, and seal the judgment on Satan's own head. That is what the prophecy of Genesis 3:15 was all about.

Genesis 3:15 "And I [God] will put enmity between thee [Satan] and the woman [Eve], and between thy [Satan's] seed [the Kenites], and her [Eve's] Seed [Jesus Christ]; It [Christ-the Messiah] shall bruise thy [Satan's] head, and thou [the kenites] shalt bruise His [Jesus'] heel."

This is the purpose for this earth age, so that each soul could be born into this earth age innocent of that fall in the first earth age, willing to choose for themselves God or Satan. Then God would send His Son, Jesus to be born, and to die at the hands of Satan's kids. This chapter in Luke records the tracing from Jesus all the way back to Adam and mother Eve, to let you know that Jesus is truly the Seed spoken of in the Genesis 3:15 prophecy of a coming Messiah. Seed is "zer'a and taken singularly, it is offspring, and Christ was the one spoken of that would complete the destruction of Satan, as recorded in Hebrews 2:14.

Most Christians bought their lie about eating apples, of flying away and so on. Stop and ask yourself, Who is the father of lies? Of course it is Satan. And Who is the first Murderer. Right again, Cain. Cain was a murderer from the beginning, and he lied to God about his murderous act. Genesis 4:8-12 records this act of murder by Cain as well as the cover-up of lies that followed.

Satan's methods of deception from the beginning have been to misquote what is said, making everything that is said a lie. That is what he did in the garden of Eden, and that is what he will do to you today. Satan has many names, and each of his names indicate the role he played in deceiving souls in the first earth age, as well as this earth age of flesh man. Sure Satan is in heaven now, but not for long. There is a war going on up there, and when it is over at the sixth trump Satan and his angels will be thrown out on this earth.

Revelation 12:9; "And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him."

This verse is by John the apostle, when he was taken, in the spirit, into the furture, to heaven where he is looking back in time to the sixth trumpet, from the day of the Lord. At the day of the Lord, the seventh trumpet, this flesh age ends, but Satan will have his last five months of power presenting himself as God between the sixth and seventh trumpets, with the world believing it. This is why these Kenite Pharisees are planning to kill Jesus, for that is what the lust of Satan would be. This plot of the Kenites here in Jesus' time was the same as their father Cain had done some 4000 years prior. In fact before this book of Luke ends, we will see that the Kenite lies will send Jesus to His death on the cross.

However remember that everything that happened in the life of Christ was according to the Will of God. Every part of our Lord's trial, crucifixion, and resurrection was told of before hand. The prophets wrote down each event, and what would be said, and even in the murder of our Lord, our Lord would be victorious. When the spikes were driven into Jesus' heel on the cross; sealed the doom of Satan; and in the end it will crush the head of the serpent.

John 8:45, 46 "And because I tell you the truth, ye believe Me not." [45] "Which of you convinceth Me of sin? And If I say the truth, why do ye not believe Me?"

Jesus asks these Pharisees, Have you ever seen me sin or tell a lie? So why are you trying to murder me? Then Jesus answered His own questions.

John 8:47 "He that is of God heareth God's Words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God."

So now we see why John the Baptist is upset with these vipers, these Kenites that are confronting him out there in the wilderness. We know that God spoke to John the Baptist and revealed this all to him. John knew "the parable of the fig tree", he knew who these Kenite Pharisees were, and what they were out to do. This was the Word that God gave John the Baptist of those that would bring trouble for him. John wasn't out to convert them, for he knew their nature, no, he was out there to identify them and put them in their place. That is the way that you deal with the devil, and his family: That is true love, being truthful and yet nice.

Luke 3:9 "And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire."

Of course the "trees" here are people, and God is the "consuming fire". Remember the parable of the tares that Jesus told in Matthew 13. 

Live Link to- "The Parable of the Tares"

Then in verses 34-41 Jesus takes the Disciples aside and explains the parable to each of them. In Matthew 13:40 "As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world [age]."

Matthew 13:41, 42 "The Son of man shall send forth His angels, and they shall gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;" [41] "And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth." [42]

Sure, the tares are going into the lake of fire, but if even one tare has the faith to believe in Jesus Christ and repents to the Father, then he is no longer a tare but a child of God. Our heavenly Father loves all His children, but each soul must come to Him the way He has provided, through repentance under the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. For a Pharisee to be saved he must leave the tricks and lies of his father's methods alone and follow Christ's way.
