About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

"STUDYING THE WORD" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
THE BIBLE IS SO INTERESTING AND IT HAS GREAT PROMISES FOR ALL OF US. HOWEVER, I ENJOY SEARCHING OUT THINGS THAT ARE NOT SPECIFICALLY POINTED OUT. I AM TALKING ABOUT THE THINGS YOU CAN LEARN FROM THE GENEALOGIES. I AM WRITING THIS BECAUSE I HAVE HEARD SO MANY TIMES THAT READING THE GENEALOGIES IS BORING AND A WASTE OF TIME. LET ME GIVE YOU A FEW THINGS ABOUT THAT.
I HAVE TRACED JESUS' GENEALOGY ALL THE WAY BACK TO ADAM. ONE TIME I MADE A CHART SHOWING THE AGES OF ALL THE PEOPLE FROM ADAM TO NOAH AND WHAT I FOUND OUT WAS VERY INTERESTING. NOAH'S GREAT GRANDFATHER WAS ENOCH, WHOM DID NOT DIE BUT GOD TOOK, METHUSELAH, THE OLDEST PERSON THAT EVER LIVED, WAS HIS GRANDFATHER AND LAMECH WAS HIS FATHER. IT IS BELIEVED THAT LAMECH DIED ABOUT 5 YEARS BEFORE THE FLOOD AND THAT METHUSELAH DIED WITHIN A YEAR OF THE FLOOD. THAT IS ONLY SPECULATION AMONG SOME OF THE SCHOLARS.
ANOTHER INTERESTING THING IS THAT ADAM WAS STILL ALIVE WHEN LAMECH WAS BORN BUT DIED BEFORE NOAH WAS BORN. THAT MEANS THAT ALL THE MEN MENTIONED IN ADAM'S GENEALOGY, ALL THE WAY DOWN TO LAMECH, WERE BORN WHILE ADAM WAS STILL ALIVE. I DON'T KNOW HOW FAR THEY LIVED FROM EACH OTHER BUT IF THEY LIVED CLOSE, I WONDER HOW OFTEN THEY GOT TOGETHER, IF THE EVER DID, AND IF ADAM TOLD THEM ABOUT WHEN HE USED TO WALK IN THE GARDEN WITH GOD.
THE SAD PART OF THIS STORY ABOUT NOAH IS THAT THE BIBLE SAYS HE HAD BROTHERS AND SISTERS BUT NONE WERE ON THE ARK. NOAH'S HEART MUST HAVE BEEN BROKEN.
ANYWAY, I HAD FUN FINDING OUT ALL THIS AND I HOPE I DIDN'T BORE YOU WITH IT ALL. STUDYING THE BIBLE IS FUN AND IF YOU WOULD JUST GET IN IT AND REALLY SEARCH THINGS OUT, I THINK YOU WOULD ENJOY IT TOO.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
