Gen 5:3 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth: This 'Adam' is the 'the particular man Adam', 'eth' Ha' adham', placed in God's Paradise of Gen.2. Notice this verse says nothing of Cain or Abel, but goes directly to Seth? Wait a minute here, if this is the start of 'THE BOOK OF GENERATIONS OF ADAM', which we just read, where's Cain? We know that Abel, being murdered by his brother couldn't continue Adam's lineage, so that explains why Abel's not there, but what about Cain? I mean, isn't Cain supposed to be the first son of Adam and Eve? But here, God's Word is starting with this 'Seth' (a substitute for Abel). What gives? As we covered before, Cain's true father is 'that old serpent', the 'devil', Satan, 'Bel' which means 'dragon', another name for Satan given in…
Rev.20:2.And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years.
Our Father has put the genealogies in order as they happened also, since Cain's was the first conception (in the Garden of Eden with 'that serpent), his offspring are at the end of Gen.4, which we just covered.
Gen 5:4 And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters: II Peter 3:8: But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
This is also how we know 'The Lord's Day' is the millennium, God's Millennium with His Son Jesus Christ ruling on this old earth with the elect, not man's Y2K millennium. So this man Adam and Eve obviously didn't die in the flesh immediately after the sin in the Garden, but notice that Adam did not live past a thousand years, 'nine hundred and thirty years' to be exact.
Gen 5:6 And Seth lived an hundred and five years, and begat Enos: |
