  1. Bible 101 – The Books of the Law Genesis In the Beginning… Bible 101

  2. Seth’s lineGen 4:25-26 • 5:4 Adam had son’s and daughters • We get to look at a genealogy today • Not all are like this one • It’s far from complete (5:4) there were many other sons and daughters • Compare Seth’s line to Cain’s line from Chapter 4: • Cain’s family developed a society • City, commerce, technology, entertainment – no mention of God • Seth’s family has no mention of its achievements, but it does have • Enoch – wildly interesting • Methuselah – name bears a promise • Noah – everyone knows • Most importantly… it’s the line the Abram comes from (after the flood) • 4:26 – The First thing we notice in Seth line • This family worships God. • Profane? Missler says that this could mean that, I don’t know where he gets that from. • None of the def. I read had any negative connotations (Vines, BDB, JFB, Strongs) Bible 101

  3. Genesis 5 – the Line of SethGen 5:1-3 • Vs. Adam – likeness of God • Seth – vs. 3 In Adams likeness – sin nature • Adam was not created perfect – he was innocent • God is perfect, it not in his nature to sin • Adam was created with a choice, put in a situation where that choice was a daily one – the tree was always there. • Love and worship are only true if you choose to do it • Today it’s the same, love, worship, service, obedience, holiness – are a choice • Which family are we going to be part of? • Cain’s which busied itself with achievements? • Seth’s which worshiped the Lord? Bible 101

  4. Prophecy in the family namesGen 5:4-32 • Look at the chart as we read vs. 4-32 • What’s in a Name? • Adam – Man, human being • Seth - appointed • Enosh - mortal • Kenan - sorrow • Mahalalel – the blessed God • Jared – shall come down • Enoch – commencement, teaching • Methuselah – his death shall bring (look down at your chart) • Lamech – lament, despairing • Noah – comfort, rest • If you smooth it out it says: Man is appointed mortal sorrow but the blessed God shall come down teaching that His death shall bring the despairing comfort and rest. Bible 101

  5. EnochGen 5:24 • Enoch • Walked with God (Like Adam?) • He was not, for God took him. • Some say he may have been raptured (Elijah too…) • Heb 11:5 (Faith Hall of Fame) • By Faith he was taken away and didn’t see death. • His testimony was that he pleased God. • Jude 14: a little more of his testimony • The 2nd coming of Jesus • Some say these men are the 2 witnesses from Rev. 11:3-13 • If this is true then he wasn’t raptured – both witnesses will die • They will be resurrected 3.5 days later • Vs. 12 - Then they will be raptured • Others say it will be Moses and Elijah (appeared to Jesus on the mountain) Bible 101

  6. Walking with God Enoch style • If He could do it, we can • He did it for 300 years • No Bible • No Holy Spirit • In a culture that was dark and evil (Godless) • Relationship with God • Pleased God? How? No Law, No Salvation • Heb 11:5 approached Him by faith • w/o faith it’s impossible to please God • Believed that He is • Psalm 46 - Be still and know that He is God • Diligently sought Him • Heard from God • Jude 14 reminds us that Enoch was a prophet • Lists 3 specific things. • Not to mention that He knew about the coming flood judgement and that the timing of that flood was linked to his sons life. • Do you hear from God? • We should expect to hear from God… His voice in our heads, from His word too • We won’t hear from Him if we don’t have a relationship with Him • Spend time with Him • Listen – time spent quietly waiting for Him to speak • What would our relationship be like with our wives or husbands if we didn’t spend any time together? Bible 101
