Many years pass. Ten generations elapse between Adam and Noah. I just looked up some interesting information of the names between the two. Chuck Missler laid it pretty well on his post about these names. But to give you some brief information, I’ll list out the ten names and their English meanings from the Hebrew:
Adam = man
Seth = [has] appointed
Enosh = mortal
Kenan = sorrow
Mahalalel = [but] the blessed God
Jared = shall come down
Enoch = teaching
Methuselah = [and] His death shall bring
Lamech = the despairing
Noah = rest.
Isn’t it cool? Whether intentionally or not, the first ten generations of human history have the Gospel embedded in their names, especially Noah’s! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 Oh, I should mention that this chapter is found in page 3 of my NKJV Bible, pages 3-4 of my NASB Bible I bought less than two years ago, page 7 of my VOICE copy, and pages 6-7 of my Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy.
I’ll get to explaining my desire to be with Jesus as Enoch probably wanted in his time (5:22-24), but not on this post. See you soon!
