Discussion for Genesis 5

  • Erasmus aey for verse 24
    God rewarded Enoch for his absolute faithfulness by walking with God in truth and in integrity and honesty. In short he pleased God all of the times he lived. He was not corrupted! So God took him away whole Body, Soul and Spirit
  • Rick
    Interesting math work: Adam was around to see Methuselah 's day, but not Lamech 's and 1656 years from Adam 's day until the great flood started... On that note: Methuselah was 969 years old his death age in the year of the flood--I wonder if he died with the flood? He would have been the only one mentioned in here old enough to have possibly seen the flood, with the notable exceptions of Noah and his children.

    It does not say they didnt die, flesh and blood can not enter Heaven. I think they went to Paradice, Why?because Jesus had to be the first. He ha Preminance over every one, also his blood had to be sprinkled on the mercy seat. What do you think? God Bless Tommy P
  • Ezekiel johnson for verse 1
    THE THING OF THIS WORLD HAS NOT AGAIN ALOW PEOPLE TO DEPEND ON GOD THE MAKER OF ALL THING, AND BLESS US AS HE BLESSED ADAM AND EVE.
  • Pastor Eleazar for verse 22
    When Enoch begot Methuselah, he began to observe how helpless a child could be without a primary care-giver. As baby Methuselah was tenderly handled, the father, Enoch began to understand what it means to have our heavenly Father who has our best as His interest. He does not only care, He saves.
  • Thomasamimo
    the knowledge that Enoch was the seventh generation and was translated lives me with the urge to know that 7 the perfect number of God was Enoch
