Lineage

Last time in Bible Understanding, we learned that Eve bares another son and she states "God has granted me another child in place of Abel, since Cain killed him." At this point, we learn that Seth has a son and names him Enosh, meaning man. On the heels of the announcements of Seth and Enosh's appearance in the world, The Bible states: At that time men began to call on the name of the Lord. Since we know the history of the brothers Cain and Abel, we begin to also see a foreshadowing of what is to come. The good vs evil, dark vs light, kindheartedness vs murderous natures, gratitude vs entitlement, lastly, honouring God vs self worship. We see two distinctive and separate paths with proud self reliance characterizing Cain's lineage contrasted with dependence on God found in Seths family line. Is this far fetched? Look around you, what is YOUR family like? As we travel through The Bible, we shall see that Gods redemptive plan is firmly in place through His chosen ones, the ones that know from whenst they came and honour Him with their thoughts, words and actions. Until next time in Bible Understanding...from Adam to Noah.
