Remember: Nothing is incidental in the Word of God!

I. The Genealogy from Adam to Noah.

Adam: Strongs #120 from #119- which means "to show blood in the face", to blush. Acts 17:26 God made mankind of one blood. Even though newer versions eliminate blood from Acts 17, from Adam on, there is a "blood bond" in humanity. Human life is in the blood. (Lev 17:10-14) But that which sustains our life is our frailty.

Seth: #8352- means substituted. The substitute! Gen 4:25 "another seed"

Enos: #583/582 from #605, to be feeble, frail, melancholy, mortal, finite !

Cainan: #7018 from #7064- lit. a nest(eagles), a chamber, a dwelling. Jn 14

Mahalaleel: #4111 from #4110 & #410- Very literally- Praise God!

Jared: #3382 from #3381- to descend, to go downwards.

Enoch: #2585 from #2596- initiated, to initiate, discipline, train up. Jude 14-16

Methuselah: #4968- literally, "man of a dart". From #4962- adult, mature + #4970- to extend + #7973/7971- to send away, to cast away. Take note that Methuselah died in the year of the flood!! 187+182+600(Gen 7:6)=969

Lamech: #3929- No help in this unknown word. But the text gives the idea of a hope for a deliverer from falleness.

Noah: #5146 same as #5118- Rest, quiet, a resting place. Noah builds the ark, the resting place from judgement & wrath, the prototype of the ark of the covenant, the object lesson of the Ark, Christ Jesus!

Now lets put this all together:

For mere mortal man(Adam), there will be a substitute(Seth) in place of his feebleness, frailness, his mortality(Enos). This substitute will prepare a nest, a dwelling place(Cainan-Jn 14:1-3). Praise God!!(Mahalaleel)

This substitute will descend from above(Jared). He will be a teacher & prophet of righteousness and judgement(Enoch- Jude 14-16), a man who would walk with God, upon whom death has no hold. He will fortell of judgement to come (Mt 24:36-42). When sin has come to full term (Joel 3:12-13, Mt 13:36-43), the dart, the arrow, the sword of God’s wrath(Methuselah) will go forth until that which offends is cast away. He who has an ear to hear (Rev 2:7) will cry out of his fallenness in hope of deliverance (Lamech). And God will make a resting place, an ark of deliverance and safety, a secure place above the sure and swift coming judgement of sin (Noah).

Could the message be any more plain? The pre-flood people had at least 1034 years (from Enoch to the flood) of plain prophecy, warning them to flee the wrath to come. They had the testimony of deliverance being pounded into them (in the building of the ark) for 100 years. Do not ignore the Word of the Lord! Do not take any of it for granted, not even an Enos here or there! You do so to your own peril. Flee to the ark, our Ark Christ Jesus. Hide in the testimony of your baptism. (I Pet 18-21)
