Pamphlet #6234 Genesis KC 12-2
Do you believe the Bible is the Word of God or not?
And now 130 years from Adam's beginning:
Genesis 4:25 And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
God has raised up another "seed" to take the place of
Abel in the genealogy
that would bring forth Jesus Christ, the Messiah.
[26] And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.
Look up the word "call" in Strong's concordance.
It will help in understanding that the statement "men
began to call upon the name of the LORD"
refers to the beginning of the "profanation" of the name
of the LORD,
and not to divine worship.
Idolatry now begins to "infest" the earth which will be
the reason
that Enoch is raised up, to prophesy against it.
This verse would be better read, "men began to call upon
(their gods)
by the name of the LORD", i.e. they began to call their
idols "God".
Genesis 5:1-32
This is the BOOK OF THE GENERATIONS OF ADAM. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;
Do you suppose our Father needed to fill some space in His Word and add some more volume to it?
It
makes you wonder sometimes when people ask why we have the Book of Chronicles
and
why we have these "boring", as they call it, genealogies listed in the
Bible.
It is extremely important that we pay close attention to these genealogies.
They are here for a reason, otherwise God would not have had them included.
We have already seen in chapter four that Cain,
begotten of his father the Devil (John 8:44),
has his own genealogy, completely separate from Adam's,
for he was not of Adam.
But it would be through Adam and Eve that the Messiah was to come.
Therefore God's Word is very careful in documenting that it did indeed happen, exactly as it is was ordained.
Also,
when we examine closely the genealogies in Matthew (Joseph's genealogy)
and
Luke (Mary's genealogy) in context with the events of His birth (particularly
Elizabeth's cousinship to Mary),
we
find that Christ was half of Judah (the kingship line)
and
half of Levi (the priest line)
and
so He fulfilled, right down to His bloodlines,
the
position of King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
God's Word is perfect.
[2] Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.[3] And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:
[4] And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:
[5] And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.
As we learned in a previous study, Adam lived 930 years,
which is 70 years short of one of God's days (2 Pet 3).
[6] And Seth lived an hundred and five years, and begat Enos: [7] And Seth lived after he begat Enos eight hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters: [8] And all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years: and he died. [9] And Enos lived ninety years, and begat Cainan: [10] And Enos lived after he begat Cainan eight hundred and fifteen years, and begat sons and daughters: [11] And all the days of Enos were nine hundred and five years: and he died.
[12] And Cainan lived seventy years, and begat Mahalaleel: [13] And Cainan lived after he begat Mahalaleel eight hundred and forty years, and begat sons and daughters: [14] And all the days of Cainan were nine hundred and ten years: and he died. [15] And Mahalaleel lived sixty and five years, and begat Jared: [16] And Mahalaleel lived after he begat Jared eight hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters: [17] And all the days of Mahalaleel were eight hundred ninety and five years: and he died. [18] And Jared lived an hundred sixty and two years, and he begat Enoch: [19] And Jared lived after he begat Enoch eight hundred years, and begat sons and daughters: [20] And all the days of Jared were nine hundred sixty and two years: and he died. [21] And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah:[22] And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:
With all of the idolatry now taking place on the earth,
we come to this one, Enoch,
whose name means teaching, or initiation,
who
walked with God.
[23] And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years:
Some even suppose he was the master builder of the great pyramid of Giza.
[24] And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.
Elijah was taken up in a "whirlwind", a highly polished, bronze looking, circular vehicle.
The same vehicles are described by Ezekiel in chapter one of the book titled after his name.
2 Kings 2:11
And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
Hebrews 11:5
By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
Have you ever read about the Phoenix bird?
Do you know the derivation of the word Phoenix?
Do you know who the Phoenicians were?
Their father was "Pa-hanok", father Enoch.
For those interested in learning more, the book "Tracing
Our Ancestors", by Fredrick Haberman,
will give you some fascinating insight into the history
of man.
[25] And Methuselah lived an hundred eighty and seven years, and begat Lamech: [26] And Methuselah lived after he begat Lamech seven hundred eighty and two years, and begat sons and daughters: [27] And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died.
Perhaps Lamech was first to use the phrase "my old man".
[28] And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and begat a son:
Remember, never let anyone tell you this is the same Lamech as in Genesis 4:18.
You can rightly divide.
[29] And he called his name Noah, saying, This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the LORD hath cursed.
Perhaps Lamech thought this one, Noah, would be Him.
In any event, Noah means rest,
comfort, or consolation,
which he would provide concerning their works ("work"
should be translated "works" in verse 29).
And so it is that they will "rest" a long time after the flood.
[30] And Lamech lived after he begat Noah five hundred ninety and five years, and begat sons and daughters: [31] And all the days of Lamech were seven hundred seventy and seven years: and he died.[32] And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
To
this point we have seen two major attempts by Satan and his offspring
to
thwart the plan of God and destroy the "woman" and her "seed".
In the next study we will see another massive attempt
to prevent the Messiah from ever being born of woman.
It is a story not taught in the
majority of Christian churches,
and yet it can be documented with
just a "little bit" of "rightly dividing" the Word.
This attempt was so evil and so against God's plan and
His commands,
that it caused the Great Deluge, the Flood of Noah.
How exciting the Word of our Father!
