Adam to Noah

Last time in Bible Understanding, we were introduced to Seth. Adam's family line is traced from this child born to him and his wife Eve. Here we see what Gods design is for man, that He created us in His likeness. "He  created them male and female, and blessed them. And when they were created He called them "man." Cain has been banished from the family~our eyes turn to Seth for the thematic unfolding of the Bibles message. Hundreds of years pass with family being enumerated as they lived outstandingly long lives and grew large families. They lived, they died. There is one stand out name, Enoch who was noted as one who "walked with God". After an extended life of 365 years, "Enoch walked with God, then he was no more, because God took him away." This means Enoch did not experience death, he was taken by God. This marvellous passage in the Bible is exciting. Clearly, God makes and breaks the rules as He sees fit and this fellow, Enoch, had some kind of endearing qualities, some kind of love and loyalty for God that was handsomely rewarded. Running parallel to this story are the indulgent family members of Cain who are growing their own brand of humanity. The intrigue continues, next time, in Bible Understanding.
