    Gen.5.29 "Noah" (1 of 2)

    "And he called his name Noah, saying, This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the Lord hath cursed."

    This segment ends at this point. Generation of Jesus Christ consists of the blessed in their faith while the generation of Adam in Ch.5 relate to heirs of promise and those who belong to the sons of Adam. There is a big difference here. Beginning with Seth who stands out in his generation, "and begat a son in his own likeness, and after his image; and called his name Seth:" He is in his own likeness where the bar sinister over the curse on the ground is a mark, as vivid as the one God set on Cain. Seth was the heir of promise and his volume was made up by blessings heavenly as stipulated in the Covenant but sweat of his brow and the toil of his hands set the law of sin and death work contrary to the Law of the Spirit."For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:/ But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members./O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?" (Rom.7.22-24) This body of death was ever present. In order to prove that 'the toil of our hands' produced ": cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;/Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee." (3.17-18)

    In the background we have this commentary of what tares were growing. It was in their mind. "And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,/That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair." The cult of Earth mother, votaries to moon host of heaven- shamanism as an institution were floating around as a result. " And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually."
