I was reminded of an amazing study that Chuck Missler did on Genesis chapter 5. In researching the root meaning of the
names found in the genealogy from Adam to Noah, he discovered the Gospel message embedded in the list.
Hebrew English
Adam Man
Seth Appointed
Enosh Mortal
Kenan Sorrow;
Mahalalel The Blessed God
Jared Shall come down
Enoch Teaching
Methuselah His death shall bring
Lamech The Despairing
Noah Rest, or comfort.
Remarkably, when you read through the English meaning, this is what you get:
Man (is) appointed mortal sorrow; (but) the Blessed God shall come down teaching (that) His death shall bring (the) despairing rest.
Our God is an awesome God, Who inhabits eternity and is pleased to interface with His creation.
