From Adam to Noah

This is the history of the descendants of Adam. When God created people, he made them in the likeness of God. He created them male and female, and he blessed them and called them "human."

When Adam was 130 years old, his son Seth was born, and Seth was the very image of his father. After the birth of Seth, Adam lived another 800 years, and he had other sons and daughters. He died at the age of 930.


When Seth was 105 years old, his son Enosh was born. After the birth of Enosh, Seth lived another 807 years, and he had other sons and daughters. He died at the age of 912.

When Enosh was 90 years old, his son Kenan was born. After the birth of Kenan, Enosh lived another 815 years, and he had other sons and daughters. He died at the age of 905.

When Kenan was 70 years old, his son Mahalalel was born. After the birth of Mahalalel, Kenan lived another 840 years, and he had other sons and daughters. He died at the age of 910.

When Mahalalel, was 65 years old, his son Jared was born. After the birth of Jared, Mahalalel lived 830 years, and he had other sons and daughters. He died at the age of 895.

When Jared was 162 years old, his son Enoch was born. After the birth of Enoch, Jared lived another 800 years, and he had other sons and daughters. He died at the age of 962/

When Emoch was 65 years old, his son Methuselah was born. After the birth of Methuselah, Enoch lived another 300 years in close fellowship with God, and he had other sons and daughters. Enoch lived 365 years in all. He enjoyed a close relationship with God through out his life. Then suddenly, he disappeared because God took him.

When Methuselah was 187 years old, his son Lamech was born. After the birth of Lamech, Methuselah lived another 782 years, and he had other sons and daughters. He died at the age of 969. When Lamech was 182 years old, his son Noah was born. Lamech named his son Noah, for he said, "He will bring us relief from the painful labor of farming this ground that the LORD has cursed."

After the birth of Noah, Lamech lived 595 years, and he had other sons and daughters. He died at the age of 777. By the time Noah was 500 years old, he had three sons: Shem, Ham and Japheth.

From reading the scripture about how everything begat. Learning the history of the generations that took place on earth. Interesting to see how a lot of these men lived to become a very old age. I noticed that Enoch had lived until 365 years in all enjoying the personal relationship he had with God. Although he disappeared when God called him in.

According to Scripture Noah was born t Lamech, his dad Lamach lived until the age of 777. Learning the history of Noah and his 3 sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Noah dad stated, that he will bring great relief to those that their labor was painful due to the cursed ground. Sounds like what we are experiencing today. The ground is cursed so painful labor has been going on forevermore. That is what God stated, to Adam that the ground would be cursed when he disobeyed by choosing to bite the apple that his wife Eve choose to give to her husband.

So that is the punishment Lamech was feeling hoping that his son would bring a great relief. We must understand that it is the sin in our lives that penalize us from inheriting the Kingdom of God. We must be righteous and have a personal relationship with Jesus for us to inherit his Kingdom.

The meaning of Adam is Man
The meaning of Seth is Appointed
The meaning of Enosh is Mortal
The meaning of Kenan is Sorrow
The meaning of Mahalalel is The Blessed God
The meaning of Jared is Shall Come Down
The meaning of Enoch is Teaching
The meaning of Methuselah is His Death Shall Bring
The meaning of Lamech is Despairing
The meaning of Noah is Rest and Comfort

I will be elaborating more on the meaning on each one of the names so that you will get a clear understanding of the history, principle, and attributes of God.
