This is the list
of Patriarchs from Creation to the Flood. Each of these
men’s names in Hebrew had a meaning.
Adam means Mankind
Seth means Appointed
Enosh means Mortals
Kenan means Sorrow
Mahalalel means Blessed God
Jared means Come Down
Enoch means Teaching
Methuselah means His Death Shall Bring
Lamech means Despairing
Noah means Comfort or Grace
When you put these
meanings of their names into a sentence form, here is what
it says:
MANKIND:
It is APPOINTED MORTALS SORROW, but the BLESSED GOD SHALL
COME DOWN TEACHING that HIS DEATH SHALL BRING the DESPAIRING
COMFORT or GRACE.
GOD gave the Good News through the Patriarchs names.
He was showing the people His plan of SALVATION (the Hebrew
name of JESUS is YESHUA which means SALVATION)
For
the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal
life in Christ Jesus our Lord.(Romans 6:23 NIV)
Selah –pause
and think about this. To HIM be the honor and glory - Amen |
