* * S. August. , De Civitate Dei, lib. Xiv. , c. 28. THE REGENERATION OF MAN 351 These two cities, with their empires, date from the beginning of mankind. No sooner has Adam fallen than Christ appears in the promise of redemption. In the two first sons of Adam the two kingdoms become visible. In Abel and his children the kingdom of faith arises ; in Cain and his descendants appears the kingdom of this world. Abel worships God, offering the sacrifice of the lamb, expressive of redemption through... the blood of Christ ; Cain offers but the fruits of the earth. Abel offers the sacrifice of obedience ; Cain chooses an oblation of his own devising. In the person of Cain the city of this world already persecutes the city of God in the person of Abel, and this persecution is destined to continue through all time, until the two kingdoms are for ever separated. It is not without a profound reason that this conflict between the children of Adam is re- corded in the beginning of the Holy Scriptures, where the child of injustice inflicts, and the child of justice suffers with patience ; nor is it without profound reason that the Scriptures exhibit this conflict between the kingdom of the world and the kingdom of God, going on with ever-increasing intensity, as prophetically summed up in the closing book of the Scriptures.
