  Genesis chapter 5. Let us pray, Father God, Lord
• 0:07
  Almighty reigns on high. Yes, God.
• 0:12
  Come, Father, and search us, Lord.
• 0:15
  Search us out, Lord. Pull out anything that does not
• 0:18
  belong. Lord, I pray for the Holy Spirit
• 0:21
  to fill us today. I pray God for supernatural
• 0:25
  filling and zeal today. God, I pray that you'll allow
• 0:29
  the words to jump off the page. Help us, Lord, to understand
• 0:32
  your mind, to understand your feelings and emotions, to
• 0:37
  understand God, what it is that you want to convey to this lost
• 0:42
  and dying world. Father, I pray that we'll step
• 0:45
  in to what you have for a step into the reality that Jesus
• 0:50
  Christ is Lord. Lord, help us to be the gap,
• 0:53
  God, between the lost and the found.
• 0:56
  Help us, Lord, to go out into the highways and the hedges and
• 1:00
  the byways, the overpasses and the homeless shelters.
• 1:03
  God, I pray that us as Christians, Lord, will be the
• 1:07
  light and the salt for such a time as this.
• 1:10
  Help us Father, help us to do your will.
• 1:14
  Help us to love you more. Help us to love our neighbors as
• 1:17
  our self. God, I pray that you will put
• 1:20
  fire to our bones. God, put wind to our back.
• 1:24
  God, propel us into all of the ministry that you have for us.
• 1:29
  Lord, help us not to sit on the sidelines.
• 1:32
  Help us not to grow lazy, God, but help us to get out into the
• 1:36
  harvest. Help us, Lord, not to live in
• 1:38
  fear. God, heal our bodies, heal our
• 1:41
  minds. God, I pray that you'll heal
• 1:43
  broken families and marriages. Lord.
• 1:46
  Lord, I pray for fathers to come back home.
• 1:49
  Lord, I pray for mothers to be affectionate towards their
• 1:55
  children. God, I pray for children to be
• 1:57
  obedient unto their parents. Lord, I pray for the government.
• 2:01
  God, I pray for police officers. Father, I pray that you'll raise
• 2:06
  up righteous leaders, raise up righteous warriors, God unto
• 2:10
  yourself to do your will, Lord, to take the whole word to the
• 2:16
  whole world. Lord, it's what we're after.
• 2:18
  Lord, we want Jesus to be supreme, Jesus to be higher and
• 2:24
  lifted up higher than any name. God that gets spoken.
• 2:28
  Lord, He is our all sufficient sacrifice worthy to be praised.
• 2:33
  Hosanna in the highest. Lord, we say yes and Amen to all
• 2:38
  the promises contained in this book.
• 2:40
  Lord, come and get your glory. Lord, come and teach us.
• 2:45
  We sit at your feet, Father, as students, we sit at your feet,
• 2:48
  God. As dead men.
• 2:50
  Lord, we lay prostate before you, God, and we pray that the
• 2:55
  hem of your garment will touch us, Lord, and heal us, Lord, and
• 2:58
  gird up our loin so that we can stand in your holy presence.
• 3:02
  Father, thank you, God, for all the things that you've already
• 3:05
  done. We enter your gates with praise
• 3:08
  and Thanksgiving, God. Let the mighty rushing wind come
• 3:13
  in. Lord breathe on us.
• 3:15
  Lord, light the fire. God blow upon us.
• 3:19
  Father, Lord, let us be found doing what it is that you'd have
• 3:27
  us to do today. I decrease as you increase.
• 3:30
  It's all about King. Jesus is not about me.
• 3:33
  Hide me and hide my words. Hide my thoughts.
• 3:37
  And Holy Spirit you teach in Jesus name I pray, Amen.
• 3:44
  Let's start in verse one. This is the book of the
• 3:50
  generations of Adam in the day that God created man in the
• 3:55
  likeness of man He made him. So here we're going to get to
• 3:59
  see a snapshot. God's going to write a prophetic
• 4:02
  sentence using the names of the men over the course of 4000
• 4:08
  years of history. You have to understand that
• 4:11
  these men had 900 year life spans and these men are
• 4:18
  overlapping over the course of 4000 years from God making Adam
• 4:24
  out of the dust and breathing into his nostrils.
• 4:28
  And here you can see that God is about to paint a masterpiece
• 4:33
  using the names of the genealogy from Adam all the way to Noah.
• 4:38
  Let's see what he spells out for us.
• 4:40
  Verse 2, Male and female. He created them and blessed them
• 4:45
  and called their name Adam in the day when they were created.
• 4:50
  So God is the one that gave us the name mankind and that is
• 4:56
  still to this day. That is our attachment, that is
• 5:01
  our looking back all the way to the Garden of Eden.
• 5:07
  And whether you are atheist, agnostic, or whether you are
• 5:11
  hostile towards the God of Israel, it does not change the
• 5:16
  fact that we all came from the same 2 parents.
• 5:21
  First 3. And Adam lived 130 years and had
• 5:25
  a son in his own likeness after his image, and he called his
• 5:28
  name Seth. So Seth was the replacement for
• 5:34
  the son that was murdered, Abel. And we see that the lineage of
• 5:39
  Christ is going to come through the line of Seth and Adam's name
• 5:46
  is man. And then we see Seth is he is
• 5:50
  appointed and he was the way of redemption for in the days of
• 5:58
  Adam after he had Seth were 800 years and he had sons and
• 6:03
  daughters. So the whole world was filled
• 6:08
  and the entire world was populated by the sons and
• 6:16
  daughters of Adam. But we want to look at the
• 6:21
  lineage of his son Seth as a juxtaposition of the lineage of
• 6:29
  Cain. And Cain is where we saw so much
• 6:33
  of the industry of the world pop up.
• 6:36
  But through the lineage of Seth, we see the spirituality, we see
• 6:42
  revival, we see an interest in God.
• 6:45
  We see that they are walking this earth in tune with the
• 6:51
  loving Father who created them five.
• 6:57
  And all the days that Adam lived were 930 years and he died.
• 7:01
  And there's the first and he died.
• 7:04
  And that is what you're going to see throughout this chapter is
• 7:08
  and he died and he died and he died.
• 7:11
  And so as we listen to it, you need to understand that our
• 7:17
  mortality is on the table every day.
• 7:20
  We do not know if we're going to get another day.
• 7:23
  And we must wrestle with these things while we still have
• 7:27
  breath in our lungs. 10 out of 10 people die.
• 7:31
  And that is the sad reality, friends.
• 7:34
  But we must come to grips with it.
• 7:37
  We cannot believe the lie that we're just going to live forever
• 7:41
  and that we will not die. Friends, it is a grave mistake
• 7:46
  when we try to hold on to this life.
• 7:49
  He, Jesus Christ Himself, said if you try to hold on to your
• 7:53
  life, you'll lose it. But if you lose your life for
• 7:56
  His name's sake, you will gain eternal life.
• 7:59
  And that is where we live. We live in that tension,
• 8:02
  friends, in between knowing that eternity is ahead of us.
• 8:07
  But this life is frail. 6 And Seth lived 105 years and he had
• 8:14
  Enos. So this Enos friends, this is
• 8:18
  the frailty of life that I mentioned.
• 8:20
  This is where they started to understand as they saw Adam die
• 8:25
  at 900 and something years, they saw that there is this frailty
• 8:30
  of life and they were not going to live forever.
• 8:34
  And God said from the dust you came from, from the dust you
• 8:37
  will return. And so that is where Enos's name
• 8:42
  comes in. We see the frailty of life.
• 8:44
  We see that men started to wrestle with their mortality. 7
• 8:56
  And Seth lived after he had Enos 807 years, and he had sons and
• 9:02
  daughters. 8 And all the days of Seth were 912 years, and he
• 9:08
  died. 9 And Enos lived 90 years, and he had Canaan.
• 9:15
  So this Canaan is sorrow as it fills the earth.
• 9:20
  We see that through Adam's fall, we see that mankind had a curse
• 9:29
  on the ground that he lived on. We see that God had to punish
• 9:34
  mankind for the fall. And then we see this Redeemer
• 9:38
  starting to creep into the story.
• 9:41
  We see through Seth, he is appointed a way of redemption.
• 9:45
  We see through Enosh this frailty of life, and then in
• 9:49
  Canaan's life, the sentence that God wants to right is that
• 9:54
  there's sorrow filling the earth.
• 10:02
  Tananinos lived after he had Canaan 815 years and he had sons
• 10:09
  and daughters 11 and all the days of Enos were 905 years and
• 10:21
  he died. So you can see these men he's
• 10:24
  and he's, he's dying and he's dying and he's dying.
• 10:27
  And we must wrestle with it as well.
• 10:30
  Friends. Every single day that you wake
• 10:33
  up, you turn your heart and you turn your mind, you turn your
• 10:37
  will and emotions, you turn your whole complete self towards God
• 10:43
  and completely sell out to the Lord and do not believe that
• 10:47
  you're going to just last forever.
• 10:50
  When we are young men, we think that we are immortal, but as you
• 10:54
  get older you start to see the frailty of life and all the
• 10:58
  sorrow that fills the land. 12 And Kaden lived 70 years and had
• 11:06
  Mahalalel. So this Mahalalel is the first
• 11:11
  time you see the L in a man's name, and this is signifying
• 11:17
  that Jesus Christ is going to come fully man and fully God.
• 11:23
  And Mahalalel is God's blessing, where he is pronouncing that
• 11:28
  he's going to bring salvation to mankind. 13 And Canaan lived
• 11:38
  after he had Mahalalel 840 years and had sons and daughters. 14
• 11:45
  And all the days of Canaan were 910 years, and he died 15 And
• 11:52
  Mahalalel lived 65 years and had Jared.
• 11:58
  So this Jared is God is going to come down.
• 12:02
  He shall come down friends. And that is what Jesus Christ
• 12:07
  did. He came down as a precious
• 12:10
  little baby in a Manger, helpless, fully God and fully
• 12:17
  man, born to two impoverished young people.
• 12:22
  And you can see that God's promise was pronounced in the
• 12:26
  name. Jared
• 12:39
  16. And Mahalalel lived, and he had
• 12:42
  Jared 830 years and had sons and daughters 17.
• 12:47
  And all the days of Mahalalel were 895 years, and he died 18.
• 12:54
  And Jared lived 162 years. And he had Enoch.
• 12:59
  Now, the word Ignoch, the name Enoch's enigmatic through the
• 13:04
  line of all the people that have died.
• 13:06
  And we have to look into Enoch. And Enoch is a dedicated
• 13:12
  teacher, and he's showing us that there is another way.
• 13:15
  And he was a prototype of all of the raptured Saints that would
• 13:19
  come. And that is the beauty of how
• 13:22
  God operates. And He can allow you to go back
• 13:26
  down into the dust, and He can raise you up into an
• 13:30
  imperishable tent, or He could translate you into heaven
• 13:35
  immediately, as he did with Elijah and as he did with Enoch,
• 13:41
  friends. And that is the limitless power
• 13:45
  of an Almighty God. He is not bound to just one way.
• 13:49
  He can do whatever he pleases. So this Enoch is breaking the
• 13:57
  cycle of those who die. 19 And Jared lived after he had Enoch
• 14:05
  800 years, and he had sons and daughters, and all the days of
• 14:09
  Jared were 962 years. And he died. 21 And Enoch lived
• 14:16
  65 years and had Methuselah. So this Methuselah, Francis, his
• 14:23
  name means that his death shall bring.
• 14:27
  And it is pointing towards the fact that the year that
• 14:32
  Methuselah dies, the flood will come.
• 14:35
  His death will bring the judgment upon the entire earth.
• 14:40
  And what a magnificent prophecy wrapped up in the name
• 14:45
  Methuselah, that death shall bring the flood. 22 And Enoch
• 14:54
  walked with God, and he had Methuselah 300 years, and had
• 14:59
  sons and daughters. So we see that Enoch walked with
• 15:04
  God, and perhaps that is the reason that he was caught up to
• 15:09
  meet him in the air. Perhaps that is the reason, and
• 15:13
  that is the greatest lesson in the entire chapter of Genesis
• 15:18
  chapter 5. Friends, are you walking with
• 15:23
  God? Take every thought captive and
• 15:26
  make it obedient unto God. Make it obedient unto Christ.
• 15:31
  Lay the truth of Scripture over every lie that creeps into your
• 15:35
  mind. Do not go by the wayside.
• 15:38
  Do not just think that life goes on and on and on, and it's all
• 15:43
  about the amassment of materialism, all about the
• 15:46
  amassment of wealth, all about the love of mammon.
• 15:50
  Friends, we must walk with God. That is the invitation that He
• 15:55
  is stretching out His hands to you today, and He's inviting you
• 16:00
  on the greatest journey that you'll ever go on.
• 16:03
  And we should be found walking with God, just as Enoch did,
• 16:08
  Friends. And the Spirit of God is inside
• 16:12
  of you. The Spirit of God will guide you
• 16:16
  through all of life's existential crises, all of
• 16:20
  life's demands, and we must be found walking with God in the
• 16:25
  office and walking with God in the living room and walking with
• 16:29
  God in the streets and on the sidewalk.
• 16:32
  Walking with God in the grocery stores, walking with God in the
• 16:36
  banks. Walking with God as we drive and
• 16:39
  as we are in our professions and at leisure.
• 16:42
  We walk with God and we never turn it off, Friends. 23 And all
• 16:52
  the days of Enoch were 365 years. 24 And Enoch walked with
• 16:57
  God, and he was not, for God took him, for all the Saints who
• 17:06
  are living, when Jesus comes to take his bride, we will be taken
• 17:13
  up to meet him in the air in the same way that Enoch was.
• 17:19
  This is not some science fiction fable, friends.
• 17:23
  This is the reality of what God can do and he will do.
• 17:28
  And it is 100% reliable and you can take it to the bank.
• 17:33
  Friends. 25 in Methuselah lived 180 and seven years and had
• 17:42
  Lamech. So this Lamech is despair in the
• 17:46
  brokenness of mankind, right before the judgment, right
• 17:50
  before Noah gets on the ark, friends, you can see the despair
• 17:58
  that's going on when the sons of God married the daughters of
• 18:02
  men, friends. And we see the Nephilim on the
• 18:05
  land, and every thought continuously was evil, and it
• 18:09
  grieved God that He had made mankind.
• 18:12
  That is what this Lamech means. It's despair.
• 18:16
  It's the brokenness that's in the world.
• 18:18
  And can we not relate friends to today?
• 18:27
  Just look around. There is nothing but broken
• 18:30
  families. There is nothing but despair in
• 18:36
  the world, friends. But God's calling us to higher
• 18:39
  ground. We're the overlap.
• 18:41
  We are to live in the overlap of heaven on earth.
• 18:44
  Friends 26 and Methuselah lived and he had Lamech 782 years and
• 18:58
  begat sons and daughters 27 and all the days of Methuselah were
• 19:03
  969 years and he died. So this was the longest living
• 19:11
  man on planet earth ever to exist.
• 19:18
  This Methuselah, his death shall bring the flood. 28 In Lamech
• 19:30
  lived 182 years and had a son, and he called his name Noah,
• 19:37
  saying, This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil
• 19:42
  of our hands, because the ground which the Lord has cursed,
• 19:46
  there's the cursing of the ground that was mentioned
• 19:49
  whenever the fall of mankind and the eating of the forbidden
• 19:52
  fruit, friends, and you see that Noah is rest and comfort.
• 19:57
  This is relief from the curse, friends.
• 20:00
  This is the type of Christ. It is the ark that we all must
• 20:04
  get in, friends. Get in Christ, in Him in you.
• 20:08
  Abide friends, and whenever the judgment comes, we will be safe.
• 20:19
  30 And Lamech lived after he had Noah 595 years and had sons and
• 20:26
  daughters, and all the days of Lamech were 777 years, and he
• 20:34
  died. So what an amazing prophecy.
• 20:37
  You could see that Lamech had Noah and Noah is building this
• 20:43
  ark. And then Lamech dies.
• 20:45
  Friends, we'll end on 32. And Noah was 500 years old and
• 20:52
  Noah had Shem, Ham and Japheth and the whole world was
• 20:57
  repopulated with these four men and their four wives.
• 21:03
  What an amazing thought that the Bible is accurate and true and
• 21:08
  trustworthy and we see 4000 years of history wrapped up in
• 21:13
  the genealogy here in Genesis chapter 5.
• 21:17
  And the most beautiful thing is that Noah was still living when
• 21:23
  Abraham was called from the land of the Chaldees, friends.
• 21:27
  And you can see that he would have had Abraham, would have had
• 21:31
  all the history from Adam to Noah.
• 21:37
  And that is how we can know that we know that we know that we
• 21:39
  know that the Bible is trustworthy and true.
• 21:43
  It's infallible and inerrant, friends.
• 21:45
  And the more layers you keep pulling back, the more it
• 21:49
  reveals itself to you. And God wrote us a beautiful
• 21:52
  love letter in these ten names. And he was spelling out Jesus.
• 21:58
  He is the Messiah, the Christ. He is the anointed 1.
• 22:03
  He is our salvation. Friends, put your faith in the
• 22:06
  Lord Jesus Christ and you'll never be put to shame.
• 22:10
  I pray that you've been blessed by this amazing chapter in God's
• 22:13
  Word. I know I sure have.
• 22:15
  I'm praying for every single one of you.
• 22:19
  I pray that the Spirit of God indwells you and that you know
• 22:23
  that you are loved. Stay prayed up today.
• 22:33
  Blessings on you. We'll see you back here
• 22:36
  tomorrow. God bless you.
