The Lord told Cain that the voice of his brother\u2019s blood cried out from the ground, and God heard it (v. 10). What do you suppose Abel\u2019s voice cried for? For justice and vengeance, most likely. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Jesus was the \u201cGod guy\u201d murdered by His brethren, according to the four Gospels.
