Join us as we continue our walk through the book of Genesis as we go through chapters 4-5.  Look at the supernatural world view and read Genesis in a way that you never have!

Genesis 4: 1-26Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, saying, “I have gotten[a] a man with the help of the Lord.” 2 And again, she bore his brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, and Cain a worker of the ground. 3 In the course of time Cain brought to the Lord an offering of the fruit of the ground, 4 and Abel also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat portions. And the Lord had regard for Abel and his offering, 5 but for Cain and his offering he had no regard. So Cain was very angry, and his face fell. 6 The Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry, and why has your face fallen? 7 If you do well, will you not be accepted?[b] And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is contrary to[c] you, but you must rule over it.”8 Cain spoke to Abel his brother.[d] And when they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel and killed him. 9 Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is Abel your brother?” He said, “I do not know; am I my brother's keeper?” 10 And the Lord said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood is crying to me from the ground. 11 And now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand. 12 When you work the ground, it shall no longer yield to you its strength. You shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth.” 13 Cain said to the Lord, “My punishment is greater than I can bear.[e] 14 Behold, you have driven me today away from the ground, and from your face I shall be hidden. I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me.” 15 Then the Lord said to him, “Not so! If anyone kills Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold.” And the Lord put a mark on Cain, lest any who found him should attack him. 16 Then Cain went away from the presence of the Lord and settled in the land of Nod,[f] east of Eden.17 Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch. When he built a city, he called the name of the city after the name of his son, Enoch. 18 To Enoch was born Irad, and Irad fathered Mehujael, and Mehujael fathered Methushael, and Methushael fathered Lamech. 19 And Lamech took two wives. The name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah. 20 Adah bore Jabal; he was the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock. 21 His brother's name was Jubal; he was the father of all those who play the lyre and pipe. 22 Zillah also bore Tubal-cain; he was the forger of all instruments of bronze and iron. The sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah.23 Lamech said to his wives:“Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; you wives of Lamech, listen to what I say:I have killed a man for wounding me, a young man for striking me.24 If Cain's revenge is sevenfold, then Lamech's is seventy-sevenfold.”25 And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son and called his name Seth, for she said, “God has appointed[g] for me another offspring instead of Abel, for Cain killed him.” 26 To Seth also a son was born, and he called his name Enosh. At that time people began to call upon the name of the Lord.

Corruption, Nephilim, and two Lamechs: The Hopeful Path in Wicked Times with Joshua LiemGenesis 4:17-6:5What story are you living in? Genesis 4-6 presents a stark contrast between two family lines—one rooted in violence and vengeance, the other in faith and hope. From Cain to Lamech to the mysterious Nephilim, we'll explore how these ancient narratives shape our understanding of power, corruption, and God's plan for redemption. Bring your Bible and join us this Sunday as we unpack this ancient text and its relevance for today.For reflection & discussion: In what ways do we still live in a “mythological world” today? What modern myths shape our culture? What do you imagine Enoch's walk with God looking like?  What are ways that you think he distinguished himself with the rest of the world? Who or what do you think the "Nephilim" were? How do different interpretations impact our understanding of Genesis 6? What does this passage say about the spread of sin and evil? How do we see similar patterns in history and today? What does Noah's name ("This one will bring us comfort…") reveal about the longing for redemption in the biblical narrative? How does this story connect to Jesus and the gospel? What does it mean to live in His story rather than the world's? What are the ways the stories of Cain, Lamech, and the Nephilim play out in our modern myths?  How might we live counter-narratively?

Enoch leaves earth. Lamech's prophecy. "Sons of God". God is sorry. Judgment coming. Noah and his 3 sons.

The story of Cain continued. Cain's descendants. The continued arrogance of Cain's great-great-great grandson Lamech. Genealogies?

Now when all the people were baptized, and when Jesus also had been baptized and was praying, the heavens were opened, and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form, like a dove; and a voice came from heaven, "You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased." Jesus, when he began his ministry, was about thirty years of age, being the son (as was supposed) of Joseph, the son of Heli, the son of Matthat, the son of Levi, the son of Melchi, the son of Jannai, the son of Joseph, the son of Mattathias, the son of Amos, the son of Nahum, the son of Esli, the son of Naggai, the son of Maath, the son of Mattathias, the son of Semein, the son of Josech, the son of Joda, the son of Joanan, the son of Rhesa, the son of Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, the son of Neri, the son of Melchi, the son of Addi, the son of Cosam, the son of Elmadam, the son of Er, the son of Joshua, the son of Eliezer, the son of Jorim, the son of Matthat, the son of Levi, the son of Simeon, the son of Judah, the son of Joseph, the son of Jonam, the son of Eliakim, the son of Melea, the son of Menna, the son of Mattatha, the son of Nathan, the son of David, the son of Jesse, the son of Obed, the son of Boaz, the son of Sala, the son of Nahshon, the son of Amminadab, the son of Admin, the son of Arni, the son of Hezron, the son of Perez, the son of Judah, the son of Jacob, the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham, the son of Terah, the son of Nahor, the son of Serug, the son of Reu, the son of Peleg, the son of Eber, the son of Shelah, the son of Cainan, the son of Arphaxad, the son of Shem, the son of Noah, the son of Lamech, the son of Methuselah, the son of Enoch, the son of Jared, the son of Mahalal

In Genesis 28 we are told that Isaac in response to Rebekah's entreaty sends Jacob to Haran to seek for a wife who is of the Abrahamic faith. The Abrahamic promises are given to Jacob in verses 3-4. Jacob took his journey in haste still worrying over Esau's intention of killing his twin. Verses 6 to 9 tell us that Esau has not the faintest idea of what being a faithful believer means. He takes two more wives, who have descended from Ishmael. In verse 10 we are told of Jacob's arrival at Bethel (“the house of God”); although referred to earlier in the record, it was most likely so named because of the incidents in this chapter. Jacob must have been wearied from his journey as he took a stone for a pillow; and dreamed of a ladder stretching from earth to heaven. There were angels on the ladder; and, we are told that they were first ascending, and secondly descending upon the ladder. Word order is critical to observe and carefully read in the Bible, as Hebrews 5 explains. If they ascend first that means they are already with Jacob to help him (see Hebrews 1:14). They go to heaven and return after having been instructed in what further aid is needed (Revelation 3:5). Verse 13 tells us that Yahweh (most likely Michael – the angel who bore the Name of his God) stood, as a caring supervisor of those providing the help, at the top of the ladder. All things associated with the salvation of His children are of God and from Him. Some people have mistakenly used this chapter to suggest that the text teaches “we go to heaven when we die”. In fact, it teaches the very opposite. The angels were with Jacob on earth providing him aid. Notice also in the words that immediately follow Jacob is promised the Land covenanted to Abraham and that through the seed of Jacob (the Lord Jesus Christ) blessing will come to all nations of this earth (the NT says the same, Romans verse 13). Next the Almighty offers to Jacob daily care and protection throughout his sojourn; until he returns to the Promised Land (verse 15). On awakening Jacob felt the awesomeness of the place, where he had slept; and reverentially names it “the House of God” (Bethel). He set up the stone upon which he had slept, and “anointed (Hebrew Massiah – i.e Christed it) the stone and declaring it to be the pillar of the house (Matthew 16 verses 16 to18 and 1 Corinthians 3 verses 11, 16 and 17 Ephesians 2 verses 11to 22, please read them slowly and consider carefully. This is the first use of “anointing” in the Bible. In acknowledgment of the overshadowing care of the Almighty and the promise of inheritance and providence of the LORD Jacob promises to give a tenth of all (a tithe) back to his Sovereign to show that all we receive is a blessing, of which we are unworthy, from the Father. in our reading In Genesis 29 Jacob arrived at Haran and in a display of strength rolls the great stone from the well's mouth to water the flock of Rachel. After a familial embrace with Rachel Jacob explained why he had come to his relatives. In verses 13 and14 Laban showed interest in his nephew, no doubt remembering the wealth that he had earlier received from Eliezer (on the occasion of his sister Rebekah's betrothal). Immediately the materialistic and crafty uncle devised a contract in which all the advantages were with Laban. Jacob contracts to serve Laban for 7 years in exchange for Rachel's betrothal. Tricky Laban deceived Jacob on the wedding night and forced out of his nephew another 7 years' work – having substituted the veiled Leah on the wedding night. More than likely Jacob's mind would contemplate the time when he and his mother had deceived Isaac. So after 14 years work Jacob has nothing to show from it. Verses 31 to35 tell of Rachel's barrenness, just like that of her mother and grandmother. However the LORD heard Leah's dismay at Jacob's love for her sister, Rachel (which appropriately for a shepherdess means “little lamb”) and gave Leah conception. Leah's first son is named Reuben, meaning “see a son”. We can hear her saying the words as the boy is given to Jacob. But Jacob felt no closer to Leah. She again gave birth to a second son, calling him Simeon (meaning “hearing”), because the LORD had heard her plea. A third son is born and named Levi: meaning “joined”. Her hope is, that after baring 3 sons, Jacob might finally be united with Leah. Alas, it doesn't happen and so in resignation to her husband's lack of interest in her she bare a last son and named him Judah (meaning “praise”); acknowledging that Leah has given up on gaining her husband's favour and so her focus will be on serving her God. Psalm 33 extols the steadfast loving kindness of our Sovereign. Faithful believers are exhorted wholeheartedly to praise their God with a new song, new because the singers will do so with the new experience of immortality in their Father's kingdom (see Revelation 14 verses 1 to5). In verses 4 and5 Yahweh is praised for His righteousness and steadfast love (Chesed – see Exodus 34). Verses 6-9 proclaim the power of His Word in Creation. When He speaks it becomes and is immediately done. His Word is unbreakable – immutable. Verse 12 tells of the blessings of being His chosen people. It was the Gospel sound of the alternating bells and pomegranates on the hem of the High Priest's robe; and that privilege likewise belongs to the disciples in Christ: Matthew 13 verse 43, Romans 10 verses 14 to 18. The LORD knows and discerns the hearts of the children of men. Safety is not with mighty weapons, nor by human strength, but rather by putting our trust in the Living God. Pharaoh had trusted his chariots and warhorses in vain (Exodus 14 and 15). The eye of our Creator is ever upon His children, as Jacob came to realise in Genesis 28. Please slowly read aloud verses 20 to 23 and carefully contemplate what it teaches us. Matthew's 18th chapter focuses on humility and forgiveness, both of which are crucial if a disciple is to enter the Kingdom. Humility and absence of malice is the foundation for receiving an inheritance with our Father and His Son. The disciple must never become the cause of stumbling for another. Being conscious of the sources of sin in our lives will result in extreme action required to prevent us losing the Kingdom. The parable of the lost sheep indicates the love of the Shepherd for the straying sheep and the extreme effort expended in its recovery; as well as the accompanying joy. The parable of the stumbling disciple is based upon the same principles- the maximum exertion is to be pursued seeking recovery. Our Lord's words to Peter of ongoing and limitless forgiveness as the number 490 represents. Our forgiveness is conditional on extending constant forgiveness to others (Matthew 6 verse 12 to 14). Jesus' instructions here stand in stark contrast to Lamech's vengeful attitude mentioned in Genesis 4 verse 23 to24. Most pertinent to us is the parable of the unforgiving servant. Our God has forgiven us an immeasurable debt. Unless that moves us to see that, however great we might esteem any wrongs done to us, they need to be seen in perspective as inconsequential. We must be moved within our heart to truly from our heart forgive others.

One of the most amazing (and often overlooked) truths about God is that He graciously makes promises to all mankind. Today, we'll look at this key chapter and this key promise and see God's kind loving care for all people. Join us! DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: Genesis 9 1.    Circle every occurrence of the word “covenant” in Genesis 9:1-17. How many times does this word occur? What are the specific stipulations of this covenant? 2.    In verse 1, what command did God give to Noah? How was this similar to the command He gave to Adam and Eve? What is the purpose of this command? 3.    In verses 2 and 3, what dominion did the Lord give to Noah? What are the implications of this in our lives today?  4.    Why did God command Noah not to eat an animal's blood in verse 4? What were some of the reasons for this command suggested in the study? How does this command relate to the early church's practices in Acts 15:21?  5.    What are God's commands regarding humanity in Genesis 9:5 and 6? Why is life uniquely precious? How is this command different from the cavalier attitudes about life represented by Lamech back in Genesis 4:23? 6.    The study mentions that Genesis 9 records the institution of God's mediatorial rule through government. How is government pictured in verses 5-6? 7.    What kind of promise did God make to Noah in verse 8? What sign did He give regarding this promise?

How is mankind supposed to uphold this covenant? 9.    What did the study suggest for how God can have wrath towards sin but not still pour out His wrath every time we sin?  10.    How does the flood account help you understand God's holiness, wrath, and mercy? What kinds of changes ought this understanding produce in the life of God's people? 11.    What did the study say were some of the long-term implications of Noah's curse on Ham? Who are the descendants of Ham that the Jews interacted with later on? 12.    Noah was a righteous man, but was his family perfect?

Real People, Real Lessons #6 Lamech: The Pride of Life with Dan Robinson

This is our Sunday morning Bible study based on the book "Biblical Critical Theory" by Christopher Watkin and taught by Pastor Taylor Ince.

Just like with Eve and her firstborn, Cain, Lamech may have thought that his son Noah was the promised Messiah, and named him accordingly. Even though he was not, God does still continue to bring Christians comfort through Noah's life and ministry.Music Credit: J. S. Bach, “Wir eilen mit schwachen, doch emsigen Schritten,” aria from “Jesu, der du meine Seele,” BWV 78 (Leipzig, 1724).

With gratitude to the Almighty for all the goodness that He has bestowed upon us, we hereby begin again with the book of Genesis with year nine of the Parsha podcast. Who would have believed that we would have been able to study the weekly Parsha together for so long?! In this episode, we study the fascinating story lines and insights of the generations from Adam to Noah. The end of our Parsha delineates the many families and generations spanning from Adam to Noah. There are all sorts of fascinating factoids, nuggets and vignettes  included in this narrative: we study the story of Cain from after his fratricide of his brother until his tragic and surprising death at the hand of his own great, great, great grandson. We learn all about the House of Lamech and its potpourri of colorful characters. We discover a very powerful and persuasive answer to the the knotty philosophical paradox of reconciling total Divine knowledge with our free will. The podcast ends with a fascinating and thought-provoking, philosophical and moral dilemma.The schedule for this year's Parsha podcast follows previous years: each Sunday will see the release of the rebroadcast episode that covers the entire Parsha. On Tuesday we will re-release the episode from 2 years ago (5783), and please God we will release a new episode with the theme of "Torah is our ID", each Thursday. May we merit to continue to study the Almighty's holy Torah together in good health and in great spirits.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –DONATE to TORCH: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.

What can we learn from Genesis 5? What if…?From Adam to Noah5 This is the written account of Adam's family line.When God created mankind, he made them in the likeness of God. 2 He created them male andfemale and blessed them. And he named them “Mankind” [a] when they were created.3 When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son in his own likeness, in his own image; and he named himSeth. 4 After Seth was born, Adam lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters. 5 Altogether, Adamlived a total of 930 years, and then he died.6 When Seth had lived 105 years, he became the father [b] of Enosh. 7 After he became the father of Enosh,Seth lived 807 years and had other sons and daughters. 8 Altogether, Seth lived a total of 912 years, andthen he died.9 When Enosh had lived 90 years, he became the father of Kenan. 10 After he became the father of Kenan,Enosh lived 815 years and had other sons and daughters. 11 Altogether, Enosh lived a total of 905 years,and then he died.12 When Kenan had lived 70 years, he became the father of Mahalalel. 13 After he became the father ofMahalalel, Kenan lived 840 years and had other sons and daughters. 14 Altogether, Kenan lived a total of910 years, and then he died.15 When Mahalalel had lived 65 years, he became the father of Jared. 16 After he became the father ofJared, Mahalalel lived 830 years and had other sons and daughters. 17 Altogether, Mahalalel lived a totalof 895 years, and then he died.18 When Jared had lived 162 years, he became the father of Enoch. 19 After he became the father ofEnoch, Jared lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters. 20 Altogether, Jared lived a total of 962years, and then he died.21 When Enoch had lived 65 years, he became the father of Methuselah. 22 After he became the father ofMethuselah, Enoch walked faithfully with God 300 years and had other sons anddaughters. 23 Altogether, Enoch lived a total of 365 years. 24 Enoch walked faithfully with God; then hewas no more, because God took him away.25 When Methuselah had lived 187 years, he became the father of Lamech. 26 After he became the fatherof Lamech, Methuselah lived 782 years and had other sons and daughters. 27 Altogether, Methuselahlived a total of 969 years, and then he died.28 When Lamech had lived 182 years, he had a son. 29 He named him Noah [c] and said, “He will comfort usin the labor and painful toil of our hands caused by the ground the Lord has cursed.” 30 After Noah wasborn, Lamech lived 595 years and had other sons and daughters. 31 Altogether, Lamech lived a total of777 years, and then he died.32 After Noah was 500 years old, he became the father of Shem, Ham and Japheth.1. Why pause and study this chapter?- Our message series are based on a Book of the Bible and not current events or Life Skills 101,starring Jesus. Genesis 5 is the next passage…it's in the Bible, so it's important.- Our messages are exegetical, not eisegetical…or exegesis vs. eisegesis.Exegesis - objective interpretation of the text to discover it's original meaningEisegesis - Involves reading one's own ideas into the text, and is not concerned with theoriginal context.2. What can we learn from Gensis 5?- Genesis 5 is the beginning of the next major section of Genesis- It documents the faithfulness of God as He preserves what would be the bloodline of Jesus, throughNoah's son, Shem. In that, Genesis 5 presents an early genealogy of the people of God.- Consider the possibility that this genealogy exists for the sake of the Gospel.- For those in Christ, it's an early family tree- It's a wide-angle view of redemptive history after the fall- Genesis 5 connects God's faithfulness from Adam through Noah and ultimately to all of us whobelong to Him through our faith in Jesus.- That's a pretty legit reason for us take a closer look, right?3. Genesis 5 opens by echoing Chapter 1:Genesis 5:1-2When God created mankind, he made them in the likeness of God. 2 He created them male andfemale and blessed them. And he named them “Mankind” [a] when they were created.- Mankind = the human race- Just a reminder that God created mankind – in His own likeness – male and female and Heblessed them.4. A unique inclusion in this genealogy is verse 3:3 When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son in his own likeness, in his own image; and he named himSeth. - So just as God fathers Adam and makes humanity in His likeness, so Adam reflects the imageof God by fathering a son who embodies his own likeness and image.o It seems to really emphasize the importance of this bloodline – which we know nowleads us to Jesus5. The most shocking aspect of Genesis 5 is that it bluntly documents a series of deaths – reminding usthat things were not the way they were originally designed to be prior to the fall.Genesis 5:4-54 After Seth was born, Adam lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters. 5 Altogether, Adam liveda total of 930 years, and then he died.- So in this chapter, right at the start, we get a heads up to the God-inspired redemption offeredthrough this bloodline – knowing that this genealogy leads to Jesus, while simultaneouslyreceiving a sobering reminder of the fall – the reason why redemption through Jesus wasnecessary.It may be a stretch, but I believe the genealogy in Genesis 5 is a very early reminder – in retrospect, ofthe reality of Romans 6:23Romans 6:23“23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in [a] Christ Jesus our Lord.”- those “…and then he died” statements are chilling compared to the life God intended for Adamand Eve…and all of us.- from the fall forward, humanity is held in slavery…Hebrews 2:14-15“14 Since the children have flesh and blood, he (Jesus) too shared in their humanity so that by his death hemight break the power of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil— 15 and free those whoall their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.”-As Adam tastes death as a judgement for sin, Jesus comes as a second Adam, who not only tastesdeath, but overcomes it and reverses the curse. “crushes the head of the serpent” from Genesis 3:13Romans 5:12-17“12 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this waydeath came to all people, because all sinned—13 To be sure, sin was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not charged against anyone'saccount where there is no law. 14 Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time ofMoses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who is a pattern of theone to come.15 But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how muchmore did God's grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to themany! 16 Nor can the gift of God be compared with the result of one man's sin: The judgment followedone sin and brought condemnation, but the gift followed many trespasses and broughtjustification. 17 For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how muchmore will those who receive God's abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign inlife through the one man, Jesus Christ!”This genealogy shows us the very beginning of God's redemptive plan for humanity.5. There are 25 genealogies in the Bible- They recount deaths and births- But uncommon elements seem to stand out – those included people or asides that break fromthe typical script – This should catch our attention because it happens for a reason.- Everyone's family tree has folks who stand out a little more than others – there'ssomething distinct about them.- Even in Amy's and my family trees, there are folks that got a bronze metal in theOlympics (Amy's), busted Al Capone (also Amy's), a former president (naturally Amy's)and a gangster - former Public Enemy Number 1 (OK…my tree)6. Adam's descendent Enoch, born of the line of Seth, was one of those uncommon people…Genesis 5:21-2421 When Enoch had lived 65 years, he became the father of Methuselah. 22 After he became the father ofMethuselah, Enoch walked faithfully with God 300 years and had other sons anddaughters. 23 Altogether, Enoch lived a total of 365 years. 24 Enoch walked faithfully with God; then hewas no more, because God took him away.- Up to this point, for each generation, we have a man living a certain number of years,fathers at least the son mentioned, lives longer, then dies.- Yet – we have a pause, or disruption with Enoch – why?- Obviously, Enoch had a close relationship with God. How do we know? Because the texttakes a break from the pattern to tell us that Enoch walked faithfully with Godo It suggests an intimacy unseen since before the Fallo This “walking with God” suggests a righteousness that comes by faith, and shows usthe intimate relationship we, as Christians, should have with God as describedthroughout the New Testament.- Enoch shows us the difference between being welcomed by God instead of facing death –rather than die like Adam's other descendants, Enoch gets taken by God. Hebrews 11:5shines a little more light on what happened with Enoch:Hebrews 11:55 By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death: “He could not be found,because God had taken him away.” [a] For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleasedGod.- One could say that the faith of Enoch led to the favor of God…for Christians, this mightmean:- One could say that the Believer's future is not based on his or her work, but his or her walkwhich of course, does include works prepared in advance by God)- A believer's future is not based on credentials, but based on character- It's defined not by pleasing others, but by pleasing God.- In fact, Hebrews 11:6 follows saying:Hebrews 11:66 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe thathe exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.- God is pleased with those who wholly believe what His word says about Him.- Also, God rewards those who seek Him- Enoch also believed that God judges those who reject Him…How do we know this?Jude 14-1514 Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about them: “See, the Lord is coming with thousands uponthousands of his holy ones 15 to judge everyone, and to convict all of them of all the ungodly acts theyhave committed in their ungodliness, and of all the defiant words ungodly sinners have spoken againsthim.”- What we see in Enoch's walk was that it was rooted in deepest intimacy with God: he knewGod.- His walk rested on great faith – he believed in God with his whole heart- He believed that God would judge and reward all who live- This doesn't describe the high point of his life, but his entire life – over 300 years of aprogressively closer walk with God.- Then “God took him away”When Enoch was just a young man…365 years old…” he was no more, because God took him away.”- What are they saying here? How did God just take him?- Maybe it was similar to how God took Elijah…in a chariot of fire. It DOES sound a littlefamiliar when 2 Kings 2:11-12 says “…and Elisha saw him no more”2 Kings 2:11-1211 As they were walking along and talking together, suddenly a chariot of fire and horses of fire appearedand separated the two of them, and Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind. 12 Elisha saw this and criedout, “My father! My father! The chariots and horsemen of Israel!” And Elisha saw him no more. Then hetook hold of his garment and tore it in two.- What we can surmise by this, is that Enoch was taken from earthly life to eternal life.- God will do the same for us…probably not the same way, but certainly for the same reasonand the same goal…through JesusSo how does Enoch relate to or inform us as Christians?- What if what happened to Enoch was to encourage all of us to walk with God.- What if what happened to Enoch is intended to awaken all of us to the hope of life afterdeath.- I would think it awakened something in his contemporaries…hey had a LOT of time to thinkabout it.- His son, Methuselah had 969 years to mull this over!- Even as we discuss Chapter 5 as the beginning of the genealogy of Jesus, before Jesus wasborn, we see this hope manifested in some of the greats of the Old Testament:Job 19:25-27- 25 I know that my redeemer [a] lives, and that in the end he will stand on the earth. [b]26 And after my skin has been destroyed, yet [c] in [d] my flesh I will see God;27 I myself will see him with my own eyes—I, and not another. How my heart yearns within me!Daniel 12:2-32 Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others toshame and everlasting contempt. 3 Those who are wise [a] will shine like the brightness of theheavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever.- Don't these verses foreshadow the New Testament promises of Christ's return?SO – How do we walk faithfully with God?1. Pray – alwaysa. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-1816 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is thewill of God in Christ Jesus for you.- You cannot have a flourishing relationship with someone you don't talk to.- Prayer is a time to tell God what is going on in our lives, to ask for guidance and wisdom, torepent of our sin and to enjoy His presence. It is a time to admit that God is greater than weare and to trust Him-2. Surrender to His will and way of lifea. Galatians 2:2020 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved meand gave himself for me.b. Surrendering your life requires an eternal perspective- Prayer of Darren's friend –o Thank you God for one more day, and thank you God for one less day.- c. This means surrendering everything you are- your job- your family- your money – your security- your past, present and future-3. Read the Bible- The inspired word of God- Psalm 119:105- “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”- You can't walk with God in the dark.4. Live like Jesusa. Obey His commandsb. 1 John 2:6“6 whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.”- “My dad is my hero”5. Confession ad Repentancea. Recognizing and confessing sini. The world doesn't determine what sin is – God doesii. If you pray, surrender your life to Him, read His word, and live like Jesus, you'llrecognize the sin in your life, you'll know what to give Himiii. He's already died for it – give it to Him1 John 1:9“9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and tocleanse us from all unrighteousness.”iv. How many of us are sitting in a prison cell with door already opened?v. Walk out of the cell that Jesus opened, and walk with God.

What Happens When A Society Rejects God?Grace Christian Fellowship Mikey Brannon October 13, 2024 [Gen 4:16 ESV] 16 Then Cain went away from the presence of the LORD and settled in the land of Nod, east of Eden. • Went away from the presence of the Lord.o 4:6-7 Cain is filled with rage against his brother, but is gracious to him and gives him an opportunity to repent.o How sin is conceived (like a baby) in Gen 4:6-7, James 1:14-15o God uses vivid language to describe his sin (4:7) “crouching desire”. (ref. 1 Peter 5:8)o Cain's biggest issue Cain conceived the sin of murder in his heart His desire for sin was greater than his desire for God While cain was religious, fundamentally he was a non-believer!• Knows God personally• Talks with God• Still does not trust God's words Cain is the first cursed person. (4:11-12) The result of the curse is that Cain is forced to become a wanderer, a nomad, a homeless vagabond. Notice Cain willingly gives up religion and relationship with God, in order to rid himself of the precepts that come along with it. This is the choice of the sinner.o “East of Eden” – Genesis language shows that as one moves Eastward they are moving further from the presence of God.o “Land of Nod” Nod means wanderer, exile, or fugitive. [Gen 4:17 ESV] 17 Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch. When he built a city, he called the name of the city after the name of his son, Enoch. • Even this vile sinner found a wife to marry. Cain obviously married one of his sisters. Together they have a son named Enoch.• “Built a City” - It is not what we expect the vagabond to do, establish a city. It is as if he says, I'll show you God, I'll settle my on place and I don't need you to help. But even the name of the city suggest it is futile.• The Hebrew verb tense suggests that Cain didn't just build a city, but that he was continually building a city. Essentially we can picture Cain endlessly working to buid this city, but never finishing it, until he eventually turns it over to his son to whom it is named Enoch.• This city that Cain would build would be common a city of apostasy and of the inhabatens present and future would be rejecters of God, and they will eventually be drowned.[Gen 4:18 ESV] 18 To Enoch was born Irad, and Irad fathered Mehujael, and Mehujael fathered Methushael, and Methushael fathered Lamech. • Our sin doesn't just affect us but it affects others around us, and even future generations.• In Chapter 5 and 6 we get 2 genealogies here in our text we have a genealogy of Cain, and in the next chapter we have the genealogy of Seth. More on that later.• This geneology traces Cain to one of his descendants Lamech. Lamech is the arch type evil representative of what has come from Cain's apostasy.• Enoch means “dedicated”. Cain running from the curse God has placed on him attempts to build a city and he names his Son and his city “dedicated”. He dedicates his son to his city. As if his son may finally be able to stop running and wandering.• Talk about how sinners try to find comfort somewhere other than God.• Enoch is cains big dillusion.• Our kids are not fooled by our dillusions are they, its very interesting what Enoch names his son, Irad, which can be loosely translated city dweller• Then you have Mejujael and Methusahael, which scholars say means something like, God Blots out and violence to God• Do you see the direction from cain to -> city dweller-> outright violence to God this is trendline of the society.[Gen 4:19 ESV] 19 And Lamech took two wives. The name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah. • The apostate generation culminates with a picture of a man named Lamech (conquerer).• Instantly we encounter an issue with Lamech. He has 2 wives.• We know that God has already established marriage as a union between 1 man and 1 woman. Any other version of this union is a sinful corruption. (Gen. 2:24)• Some people encounter polygamy in the OT and they say see the Bible is wrong it condones things like that. Or that the Bible is inconsistent on its view on marriage. Not true.• Whenever polygamy is shown in the OT it always results in hurt and devastation. (Abraham)• As we can see here in our example text the Bible doesn't come out and make a moral statement about polygamy here. Because it doesn't need to. That is the entire point of this geneology. [Gen 4:20 ESV] 20 Adah bore Jabal; he was the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock. • The “bal” brothers: Jabal, Jubal, and Tubal• Stem bal means to produce• Society was a great at producing things• We have world leading agriculture, invention of music, of musical instruments, iron working, bronze instruments of all kinds• Jabal was a shepherd who likely tended sheep. People in the city need someone else to produce meat and garments, so what we see here is the first glimmering of the agricultural industry.• Discussion about how long they lived in this society Adam lived 930 years. In fact did you ever realize Adam almost lived long enough to see the birth of Noah. Cain lived 730 years.[Gen 4:21 ESV] 21 His brother's name was Jubal; he was the father of all those who play the lyre and pipe. • Jubal, invented music, and the first instruments. Can you imagine what an accomplishment, Chris Karpus level stuff here. They had likely had figured out things like scales, and chords, and how to construct various instruments to create harmonies.• Now many of us in this room are musicians. How many of you feel like you have enough time to practice your instrument? How many of you feel like you have mastered it and there is nothing else to learn? Imagine if you had 700 years to work on it. Do you think you would be pretty good?[Gen 4:22 ESV] 22 Zillah also bore Tubal-cain; he was the forger of all instruments of bronze and iron. The sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah. • Tubal-cain in a similar way had perfected the art of metal working. He is the father of blacksmithing and was the master of the craft. In a similar way having so much time on the earth to master the craft.• These 3 sons were epic leaders of a godless city.• Application: I wonder what outsiders would have said about the city of Nod as they passed by. Great city! Technological leaders, Innovative, Wealthy, luxurious? Does this sound like a cursed city to you?• A society without God is striving to find satisfaction in something else, but they will ever find is emptiness.• This is a society who works and works for the one thing they will never have, rest. Sabbath. Because they have rejected the ultimate rest. (Matthew 12:8)[Gen 4:23 ESV] 23 Lamech said to his wives: "Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; you wives of Lamech, listen to what I say: I have killed a man for wounding me, a young man for striking me. • Lamech becomes the poster boy for how far from God this society has come. • Brags to his wives about his murderous rampageo Notice how he speaks to his wives. How far has this Godless society gotten from what Adam first spoke, “bone of my bone flesh of my flesh”o Murder of mano Murder of a childo In both instances Lamech brags about his brutality o What we can observe here in this society that is far from God there is no longer an appreciation for human life.o Why is murder such a heinous crime in the first place?o Gen. 1:27, Gen.9:6o So what we see in a society that is far from God, there is a loss of appreciation for human lifeo Another way to say this is that the value you we place on one another comes from the value that we place in God.o Another way to say this is, Love God, Love People[Gen 4:24 ESV] 24 If Cain's revenge is sevenfold, then Lamech's is seventy-sevenfold." • The reference here is back to verse 4:15.• Remember God had promised Cain protection of his life. Word got around.• In hindsight now that we have studied this passage I think God allowed Cain to live just so that the fullness of his wickedness would play out. It would have been to easy for him to die. So Cain spends hundreds of years trying to outrun the curse, only to die in his futile attempts. It is a much more worthy punishment.• Lamech makes a mockery of God's curse. He is vile, and wicked, he even brags about his wickedness. This city is lost indeed.• What a terrible story if it ended here![Gen 4:25 ESV] 25 And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son and called his name Seth, for she said, "God has appointed for me another offspring instead of Abel, for Cain killed him." • Able the presumed line of redemption is dead. Cain is unfit and cursed. The last time things looked this dark were after the fall.• We think back to the promise (Gen. 3:14). And in God's graciousness we find hope. This verse gives us hope.• Adam and Eve have another son who can help fulfill the promise of Genesis 3:14, Seth.• Seth is not the one to crush the head of the serpant, but we will find out in the next chapter exactly where is line will lead, ultimately to Christ, the ultimate head crusher. Luke 3:38[Gen 4:26 ESV] 26 To Seth also a son was born, and he called his name Enosh. At that time people began to call upon the name of the LORD. • Even in the early days apparently outside of the line of Cain people had begun to stray from God• Enosh marks a period of revival where people began to again call upon the name of the Lord.

Genesis 5 – The Genealogy from Adam to Noah Genesis 5 provides a detailed genealogy tracing the descendants of Adam through his son Seth, leading to Noah. This chapter serves as a bridge between the story of creation and the narrative of the flood, emphasizing the continuity of life and God's covenant through specific individuals. The genealogy also highlights key figures who were faithful to God, reflecting the development of humanity as well as the effects of sin over generations. The chapter begins by restating that God created humanity in His image, male and female, and blessed them (verses 1-2). This repetition reinforces the divine origin of humankind and their special relationship with God. It then introduces Adam's line, focusing on Seth, his son born after the tragic events surrounding Cain and Abel. Seth's lineage, unlike Cain's, reflects a line through which God's promises will be preserved. Each generation listed in Genesis 5 follows a structured pattern: the name of the individual, their age at the birth of their first son, the number of years they lived afterward, and their total lifespan. This pattern emphasizes the long lives of these early humans, suggesting both the closeness of humanity to God's original creation and the gradual effects of the curse of sin. Notably, most lifespans exceed 900 years, which conveys the ancient world's unique conditions and God's original intent for humanity's longevity before the full consequences of sin take hold. One of the most significant individuals in this genealogy is Enoch. Unlike the others, Enoch's account states that he “walked with God” and, instead of dying, he was taken by God (verse 24). This unique statement suggests an intimate relationship between Enoch and God, marking him as a righteous man. His life serves as a powerful example of faithfulness and hope, contrasting with the increasing sinfulness described elsewhere in Genesis. The genealogy culminates with the birth of Noah, whose father Lamech expresses hope that Noah will bring relief from the curse on the ground caused by human sin (verse 29). This foreshadows Noah's future role in God's plan to preserve creation through the flood and points to the need for redemption in a world increasingly marked by sin and judgment. Genesis 5 serves not only as a historical record but also as a theological reminder of God's ongoing involvement with humanity. It highlights the faithfulness of certain individuals, such as Enoch and Noah, while also hinting at the need for divine intervention to address the problem of sin. Through this genealogy, readers are encouraged to reflect on the unfolding story of redemption that begins with Adam and continues through Noah and beyond.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.

In Genesis chapter 4 we come to an interesting character, Lamech. He's not the father of Noah since that Lamech was a descendant of Seth. This Lamech in chapter 4 is the great great great grandson of Cain. He seems to be an unforgiving character just like his ancestor Cain; Lamech talking to his two wives said if someone hurts him he will have his revenge seventy and sevenfold; that means a whole lot. His worldview was clearly not the worldview of the God of the Bible, the God of Abraham, the worldview of Judaism; it was distinctly opposed to our Christian worldview and Jesus' teaching. Jesus uses this account of Lamech to give His disciples 2000 years ago the counter worldview to Lamech. As a Jewish rabbi He teaches from the Torah to help them and us know the truth of God's word and the truth of how we are to live as His holy people. Jesus uses the Torah, the only Bible they had in Jesus' day, to teach the gospel since the Father had already inspired Moses to write about the gospel in the Torah. But how?

In the last episode of the Moore College podcast on Genesis chapter 3, Mark Thompson outlined the Bible's diagnosis of the very human problem of sin.In Genesis chapter 4, the deep consequences of humanity's sin are in full view, with the first-ever murder and the stories of Cain, Lamech and Seth.In this episode of the Moore College podcast, in a chapel service held on Friday 30 August 2024, Mark Thompson, Principal of Moore Theological College, draws out significant lessons about hope, life and faith, and how the decision to turn aside from God's word has terrible repercussions for those who fail to trust God.Mark continues his series in the Book of Genesis and reminds us that the only remedy for extravagant evil is be extravagant grace—the grace found at the cross of Christ.We hope you find the episode helpful.For more audio resources, visit the Moore College website.

In Genesis 4:23–24, Lamech uses poetry and music to threaten abuse to his wives and to force them to “love” him. In this devotion, we look at the third (and final) couplet of his poem, where he basically tells his wives they should fear him more than God.Music Credit: J. S.

The Neanderthals descended from Ham. The cavemen of modern mythic reputation did not exist. And, the pre-flood world produced rhino-like creatures eight times larger than African rhinos and armadillos the size of Toyota Camrys. Bad worldviews have resulted in the wrong view of science and history, very poorly educated children, and the deception of the masses on a grand scale. We put things straight by rendering proper authority and reliability to the ultimate source of knowledge—God's Word. Here we are working through the pre-flood world of Adam, Cain, Lamech, and the fearsome Nephilim—who resurface again after the flood.

## Introduction - **Overview:** The host, Ken Primus, introduces the focus of the episode on the family line from which the Nephilim emerged, touching upon biblical and extra-biblical sources. - **Previous Episode:** Brief recap of the previous episode's exploration of the first generation of Nephilim. ## The Days of Jared - **Significance of Jared:** Importance of Jared in the timeline, with his name meaning "descent," correlating with the descent of the angels. - **Timeline:** Overview of the first generation of Nephilim and their reign for 500 years and the continuation until the flood, totaling around 1200 years. ## The Seed War - **Genesis Context:** Explanation of the seed war beginning in Genesis Chapter 3, with Lucifer aware of a prophecy about being defeated by the woman's offspring. - **Cain vs. Abel:** Examination of Cain's attitude and actions leading to the murder of Abel, resulting in God's punishment and Cain becoming a wanderer. ## Lineage of Cain - **Cain's Descendants:** Exploring Cain's lineage, including his descendants Enoch, Irad, and Lamech, who is noted for practicing polygamy. - **Significance of Cities:** Cain building a city named after his son Enoch, with cities generally representing sin. ## The Role of Nama - **Introduction of Nama:** Importance of Nama in Cain's lineage, being one of the few women named in genealogies. - **Marriage to Angels:** Theory that Nama was the first woman to sleep with the angels, making a deal for divine knowledge. ## Knowledge Exchange - **Supernatural Knowledge:** Details on the knowledge received by Nama's brothers Jabal, Jubal, and Tubal Cain, enhancing their skills and wealth. - **Tubal Cain's Skills:** Specific reference to Azazel, a watcher who taught humans about metallurgy, aligning with Tubal Cain's role as the first blacksmith. ## The Impact of Corruption - **Effects on Society:** The spread of knowledge causing societal changes and corruption. - **Divine Judgment:** Discussion on God's judgment, including the flood, targeting the corrupted descendants, but also partly due to the corrupted bloodline even among Seth's lineage.

In the last two Genesis devotions, you may have caught the detail that Lamech, the great-great-great-grandson of Cain, took two wives. In this devotion, we take a closer look at this perversion of God's institution of marriage.Music Credit: J. S.

Genesis 4:17- 26  Cain made love to his wife, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch. Cain was then building a city, and he named it after his son Enoch. 18 To Enoch was born Irad….the father of Lamech.19 Lamech married two women, one named Adah and the other Zillah….23 Lamech said to his wives,“Adah and Zillah, listen to me; wives of Lamech, hear my words. I have killed a man for wounding me, a young man for injuring me. 24 If Cain is avenged seven times, then Lamech seventy-seven times.” 25 Adam made love to his wife again, and she gave birth to a son and named him Seth, saying, “God has granted me another child in place of Abel, since Cain killed him.” 26 Seth also had a son, and he named him Enosh. At that time people began to call on the name of the Lord.

There is no way around it, the Bible presents us with a dualistic worldview. We are continually presented with two paths, two choices, two loves. Middle ground is hard to come by in Scripture. As the Didache says in it's opening: “There are only two paths; one leads to life and the other to death and there is a world of difference between the two.” This Sunday we'll be starting to wrap up our study in Genesis, reading the fallout from Cain's murder of Abel and the consequences that befell him because of it. We'll be reading chapter 4:17-26. As we've noted before, following Cain's lineage is sort of like viewing the trajectory of the offspring of the snake.Cain was banished to the wilderness with God's provision of a sign which would protect him. As you read the passage, does Cain end up in the wilderness? What might be significant about him building a city?As we follow his family line, we get to the 7th person from Adam – Lamech. What is first noted about Lamech in the text? How does his taking of two wives reflect on Gen 2:24? How would you describe what is happening in Cain's family line?Lamech writes the first song recorded in the Bible – a lovely little tune sung to his wives about retaliatory murder (what a romantic!). Lamech, the 7th human from Adam, sings a song about sevens. In Gen 4:15, God promised to protect Cain by giving a sign that warned of a 7-fold retribution for harming Cain. What does Lamech do with the words of that promise? How does it interact with Jesus' words to Peter in Matt 18 about forgiveness?Last week we read about the line of Seth, the son God provided to Eve after the loss of Able. We'll revisit that again as we consider the other road, the offspring of the woman. How does v26 compare with the lineage of Cain and their actions and attitudes? Who would you rather be?I've really been enjoying getting into Genesis – hope you can join us this Sunday as we examine the two roads for life.Click here for a pdf of the teaching slideshow.

Genesis 4 contains the first murder in human history. It did not take long after the Fall and the Curse for the children of Adam to be enmeshed in sin, pride, disobedience, and false worship. Cain killed Abel, but the Lord still showed him mercy. Lamech, the first bigamist, boasted in killing a young man. The offspring of the woman appears all but lost. But the Lord revealed hope to humanity by giving another offspring, and through it, a better blood.

As we end our slow walk through Genesis, let's reflect. We've learned that God created a good, ordered world, but humans have become violent and vengeful instead. With all the bloodshed, it leaves us wondering if there's any hope for humanity. Join us for our last message in this series to learn about Cain's descendant, Lamech, and why the Biblical authors tell his story.

Send us a Text Message.In the 7th generation on earth, there is yet ANOTHER murder.  Lamech kills a young man for wounding him.  It is a disproportional response.  He then BRAGS about it to his family.  He is PROUD of it.We can build our cities, build our family and build our relationships with our without God.  If we do it wrong, at least let's have the decency to not be PROUD of it. Let's listen to the "voice of Lamech" and NOT be like him.  Let us NOT love our murder.bewithme.us Apple Podcasts. Subscribe please.

Genesis 5:1-6:8 | Ben Potloff | Still being so early in the Genesis story, we begin to wonder how bad it will get. From the Fall to the murder of Abel and the boasts of Lamech, humanity's story goes from bad to worse. How bad can it get? When will God put a stop to this cycle of sin?MAIN IDEAGod punishes evil, but provides grace.OUTLINEI. Mankind is wicked. (vv. 5:3-27, 6:1-2, 4-5)II. God is just 'and' gracious (vv. 6:3, 6:6-7, 5:28-32, 6:8)DISCUSSION QUESTIONS1. Our culture says you should “follow your heart” or “trust your gut.” Based on what the Bible teaches about the human heart, is this good advice or bad advice? Why? 2. Sexual perversion was a result of sin from the beginning and we still see that playing out today. How does the Gospel speak to the sexual sin in our lives and in the world around us? 3. The Bible reveals God as both just AND gracious. How do we see that in Genesis 6:1-8? 4. Are you more prone to see God as just or gracious? How does that affect your relationship with Him? Why is it important to have a wholistic view of God as we relate to Him?

Lamech spoke hopefully of his son Noah, "Out of the ground that the LORD has cursed, this one shall bring us relief" (5:20). Today, Sinclair Ferguson explains that the true rest pictured in Noah would be provided in Christ.

This week, why it’s ok not to say Calvary or resurrection or blood in your Easter propaganda. Also, ways we […] The post Asking AI Lamech first appeared on Live From The Path.

3:30 - Why does the Bible condone slavery? / 13:19 - Genesis 4:19-23, How would Lamech know taking multiple wives was sinful? / 35:15 - Should you stay under a weak pastor? / 48:59 - Where do the dead in the Millenial Reign go?

Genesis 4 Adam made love to his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain. She said, “With the help of the Lord I have brought forth a man.” 2 Later she gave birth to his brother Abel. Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil.  3 In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the Lord. 4 And Abel also brought an offering—fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock.  The Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering, 5 but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast. 6 Then the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast?  7 If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.” 8 Now Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let's go out to the field.” While they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.   What brings relational devastation?   Overemphasizing Differences    Envy   Unchecked Anger   9 Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?” “I don't know,” he replied. “Am I my brother's keeper?” 10 The Lord said, “What have you done? Listen! Your brother's blood cries out to me from the ground.  11 Now you are under a curse and driven from the ground, which opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand.  12 When you work the ground, it will no longer yield its crops for you. You will be a restless wanderer on the earth.” What keeps you in relational devastation?   Pride   Defiant Patterns   Genesis 4:19 Lamech married two women, one named Adah and the other Zillah.   What creates relational renovation?   Genesis 4:25-26 Adam made love to his wife again, and she gave birth to a son and named him Seth, saying, “God has granted me another child in place of Abel, since Cain killed him.” 26 Seth also had a son, and he named him Enosh. At that time people began to call on the name of the Lord.   Grace   Hebrews 12:24 to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.
