PBJ Reading today:
Genesis 5:1-7:24 Matthew 3:7-4:11 Psalm 3:1-8 Proverbs 1:10-19
I get stuck in Genesis 5 because of the wonder of the message of salvation. In the Hebrew root meanings of each name, we read:
Adam | Man (is) |
Seth | Appointed |
Enosh | Mortal |
Kenan | Sorrow; (but) |
Mahalalel | The Blessed God |
Jared | Shall come down |
Enoch | Teaching |
Methuselah | His death shall bring |
Lamech | The Despairing |
Noah | Comfort, Rest |
This is the Prophecy of the Gospel before Noah’s flood.
