The genealogical prophecy is a fascinating subject. If my name definition resources are correct, Hidden in the meaning of the names of the lineage of Noah is a message telling of God’s intended redemption of mankind. Observe the results below. Awesome! But, I have a question. Does Cain’s lineage spell out a message of significance as well? Observe the results further below.
Adam = Man (of dust)
Seth = Appointed
Enosh = Mortal
Cainan = Sorrow
Mahalaleel = the Great or Blessed God
Jared = Shall Come Down
Enoch = Teaching
Methuselah = His Death Shall Bring
Lamech = The Afflicted
Noah = Comfort
Man was appointed mortal sorrow, but, the
blessed God shall come down, teaching that
his death shall bring to the afflicted comfort.
Adam = Man (of dust)
Cain = Acquired / Brought Forth
Enoch = Teaching
Irad = Beware
Mehujael = Who Proclaims God
Methushael = Man of God
Lamech = The Afflicted
Man brought forth a teaching to beware, who
proclaims God, for a man of God is afflicted.
So, perhaps, this speaks to the mindset of these two lines. One speaks simply to the carnal aspect of life and only seeing the affliction of one who follows God, and letting that be a discouragement from pursuing a godly life. On the other hand, the chosen lineage fully acknowledges the sorrow and anguish of a godly life on a temporal earth, yet looks forward to our redemption and the comfort of the heavenly kingdom to come. Fascinating!
