The Bible is an integrated message system, where every detail, every number, and every place name has significance. Its origin is demonstrably from outside the domain of time itself. It proves its supernatural origin by describing history in advance. It demonstrates the architecture of divine engineering through the integration of 66 books written by 40 authors, over thousands of years. The New Testament is in the Old Testament concealed; the Old Testament is in the New Testament revealed -- one book, one message. God has left a slew of ‘Divine Fingerprints” to engage the inquiring mind studying His word. The genealogy listed in Genesis chapter five demonstrates this supernatural integrity of design:
Adam: Man
Seth: Appointed
Enos: Mortal
Cainan: Sorrow
Mahalaleel: The Blessed God
Jared: Shall Come Down
Enoch: Teaching
Methuselah: His Death Shall Bring
Lamech: The Despairing
Noah: Comfort or rest
The meaning of these 10 generations of names as listed in the text was derived from the Hebrew Root Dictionary. The meaning of these names when read vertically down, as a sentence, clearly demonstrates the plan of God, God’s redemption, was laid out before the foundations of the world. Even in the “misty” beginnings of the book of Genesis God is declaring His plan of redemption and revealing Jesus.
MAN IS APPOINTED TO MORTAL SORROW. BUT THE BLESSED GOD SHALL COME DOWN TEACHING; HIS DEATH SHALL BRING THE DESPAIRING COMFORT.
