Since the fall of Adam and eve we know that God would bring about redemption by one man. The prophetic people in the beginning knew this which begins a search for the messiah that is to come. Cain murdering Abel is a foreshadow of the older brother(Israel) killing Messiah (Jesus) .Abel is the line that Jesus would come from. But of course Satan having already been told ' the seed would crush his head ' would be seeking to destroy mans Redemption.
