#174 LTLT S5 EP 48: Genesis 5:1-20; Adam's Lineage and Legacy of Faith

Oh , my Well , my name is Catherine and I am also pastor of Exposed Life Change Ministries right in the heart of Madison Heights , virginia . Amen when we are exposing the enemy . Amen so that your life can truly be changed to the glory of God . Amen . So we have been going through this great book of Genesis . Amen . We have completed 1 John .

We're going to go through Genesis and , as far as I know , we'll be going through Revelation and then we're going to see where the Lord takes us from there . I definitely know we'll be here for the rest of the year and possibly another year , but after that we'll see where the Lord takes us , amen .

I am always continually asking the Lord to order my steps in a way that he would have me to go , and I hope you are doing the same , amen . So , with that being said , let's go ahead and pray . Father , we thank you so much for your grace and your mercy . Thank you , god , for allowing us yet another day , another opportunity , god , to get into your word .

I pray , in the name of Jesus , that you would speak now , that we might hear , that we might be able to see what it is you're trying to say to us .

I pray , in the name of Jesus , for a supernatural understanding in regard to pronunciation , in regard to what I will go forth and read , god , because I want to be a blessing and not a hindrance , or I want to be completely understood .

God , as we go forth in this hour , I pray , god , that you will bless every ear and every heart , every diamond that is here , god , that they might get what it is you want to give them . Father , we love you so much and we're so very grateful , so thankful . We pray that this prayer , all of our prayers , are pleasing in your sight .

In Jesus Christ's name , we do pray Amen , amen , hallelujah . So we are getting ready to get into the word Amen , amen , hallelujah , let's get into the word Amen , amen , hallelujah , let's get into it . So we left off . We start in chapter 5 .

Where we left off , we were talking about the descendants of Lamech , and it let us know that another murder was committed . Violence had began to really show its ugly face , and so he's kind of you know , not excusing what he's done , but just saying you know , this is what happened . And it goes on .

The Bible goes on to talk about another child that Adam and Eve had together , and we pick up here at five verse one says this is the book of the generations of Adam . In the day that God created man in the likeness of God , made he him Male and female , created he them and blessed them and called their name Adam .

In the day when they were created and Adam lived 130 years and begat a son in his own likeness , after his image , and called his name Seth . And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were 800 years and he begat sons and daughters , and all the days that Adam lived were 930 years and he died .

Okay , so when we open up this door amen we talk about we get a refreshing reminder of what this book is all about in regard

. Well , not all about , but we get a reminder of the day that God created man , the fact that it says in the likeness of God made he him . So God took himself , put himself into that dirt and created a being that was like him and a reflection of him . He said male and female . Then he says he blessed them and he made their name Adam .

So the married couple true enough is two of you , but you're one in him , okay , one in him . When God sees husband and wife , he sees husband first , amen , hallelujah , because he's taking you out of him , amen . So when he sees Michael and Catherine , he sees Michael first .

Not that I am insignificant , not valuable , but he created me out of the womb of Adam . Amen , I am his rib , hallelujah , amen . And so when he looks at my husband in regard to the family , he looks at him and says you're accountable for her , amen . What she does , what she doesn't do , you are accountable for her and yourself , amen .

So Adam had his son , seth , at 130 years old . That's like what ? That make your head spin right ? 130 years old In this day , having a child ? That's crazy , right ? But the Bible goes on to tell us that after he had Seth , he lived another 800 years before he died . So that makes 130 plus 800 , 930 years old when he passed away jesus .

That's a long time , right ? You imagine living almost a thousand years . Amen , that's dinosaur years . Right , that's the first . The length of time the first man lived in the earth and was producing and doing everything that God had desired for him to do .

Yeah , so , even though he failed in the very beginning , it did not stop the purpose of God for his life . Amen . Even though he's sin that is a nugget for somebody Even though you sin , it does not stop the purpose and the plan of God for your life . Matter of fact , it's a part of it , amen , it's a part of it . Amen .

The failures , the mistakes and all of that Are what God wants to do in and through you . Amen , amen , hallelujah . So don't despise the shortcomings , don't despise it , because it's all a part of your upcoming Hallelujah To God . Be the glory . Receive that Amen . Now verse six . He says and Seth lived 105 years and begat Enos .

And Seth lived after he begat Enos 807 years . So he lived . He didn't live as long as his father , but he lived after he had his first child . He lived 807 years , versus Adam Living 800 years After the birth Of Seth . So he said and he begat sons and daughters , and all the days of Seth Were 912 years and he died , y'all excuse me .

So 930 years for Adam , 912 years for his son , seth , he says , verse 9 . And Enos lived 90 years and begat Cainan . Cainan , he says . And Enos lived after he begat Kainan , k-i-n-a-n , k-i-n-a-n , he says , and Enos lived after he begat Kainan 815 years and begat sons and daughters , and all the days of all the were 905 years and he died .

Okay , now , remember , enos is Seth , seth's son . Okay , so that would make Adam the great grandfather . No , so that would make Adam the great grandfather . No , that would make Adam the grandfather of Enos .

Okay , got to keep up with it now , and I was telling y'all last episode to make sure you get your pen and paper and do like a family tree as you go along . Now , you know you might have to listen to it a couple of times .

Or you know , just listen to it here and then go back and get personal study and do it , you know , on your own , just because it's a lot of names , um , but a friend of mine well , actually not a friend , but my sister-in-law , um , a while back she gave me a , a it's like a scroll . It looks like a scroll and it's called the biblical . The bible .

No , the biblical . Generational general . No , the biblical genealogy . I'm looking at y'all and it has like the beginning , like all , like who we got who and who we got I mean , and it's beautiful , it really is . Um , I was so grateful , thankful , when she gave it to me .

It's got so much information from genesis , that from actually the old testament this is , like you know , all packed into one . It's a powerful thing . Uh , she got it off of amazon . It's called the biblical geneogy and it looks like a scroll and it's about , I think it's 11 by 15 . And I actually have it in a frame on my wall .

That's just how precious it is to me . So , definitely , if you get the opportunity to get that , go on Amazon and look for it . I'm sure you can get that there or you can create your own . But , like I said , you got information on that , on this scroll , um , from genesis all the way to um , the new testament . Yeah , from the beginning to the end .

Um , it's just packed in with important information . Yeah , that we can definitely use in teaching , preaching and so on and so forth . Yeah , also , come on back to the scripture . So Enos was 905 years old when he died .

All right , verse 12 he says and Kainan lived 70 years and began and begat Begat Mehalalil Mehalalil Y'all bear with me please Mehalalil Mehalalil yeah , he said . And Kainan lived after he begat Mahalalelil 840 years and begat sons and daughters and all the days of Kainan were 910 years and he died years and he died . And Mahalaleel lived 65 years and begat Jared .

And Mahalaleel lived after he begat Jared 830 years and begat sons and daughters and all the days of Mahalaleel were 895 years and he died . And Jared lived 1062 years and begat Enoch 62 years and begot Enoch . Jared lived after he begot Enoch 800 years and begot sons and daughters and all the days of Jared were 962 years and he died .

I'm going to pause right there . So so far , jared even outlived Adam . He said he lived 962 years and adam lived 930 . So jared lived 32 years longer than he is . So jared would be his . Oh boy , let's see jared goes back . Let's see you got one , two , three , four , five . So you got great , great , great , great , great .

So five generations back would be great , five , it would be great , great , great , great , great . Grandpa , adam is wow , that's a lot right . Yeah , absolutely , man . So I'm gonna stop right there , okay , because that's a lot of information and you want to take time to write it all down .

I'm gonna come back on monday and we're gonna pick it up , because we have a lot of names still yet to go through . Um , yeah , yeah , we still got , yeah , so we don't we ? Yeah , yeah , we'll stop right there . I want to go forward , y'all , but for time's sake I'm gonna stop , just because I have to .

I have to keep my , my time no more than 20 minutes at the most . I'm going to stop right there and we're going to go ahead and pray .

Father , we thank you so much for your grace and your mercy again , and I thank you , god , for ushering me through saying these names , yeah , and I thank you that people are following along and getting what they need , and I pray that this helps All that has an ear to hear .

Father , I love you and we love you and we pray that this prayer and all of our prayers are pleasing , pleasing in your sight . We pray this prayer in Jesus Christ's name . We do pray . Amen , amen and amen , alright , y'all . So I know that was a bit heavy , but , um , what are the things that we can think about as we wrap up and get ready to go home ?

We can actually think about the life expectancy or the life span at that time . I mean , that's a long time . You can only imagine the things that they did , the things that they built , the things that they produced in that time . You're talking about almost a century or decade . I think it's a decade . Yeah , almost a decade of life A man from one person .

Imagine how many children they might have had . Everything that was going on at that time . I mean , come on , they ain't have no laws like that . Because we hear about the laws , we didn't really hear anything about the laws . Well , we didn't hear about the laws .

I'm sure there were laws in place , because what I found out over the years of studying the Word of God is that each book offers a different perspective of the time . So when you talk about , like , when you look at the book of chronicles , you'll find out things that was happening in genesis and kind of put in perspective into this one big story .

It's like you know , we say it about the new testament all the time . It's a good example mark matthew , mark , luke and john they was all there with jesus , but each of them had a different position , different perspective , a different um .

They was like seated in a different room , um , and so what we hear from their perspective it's the same time , just a different perspective . I did because , you know , one was in a different place , where it's enough , so they didn't hear everything , but they heard enough to verify that what the others say was true .

So this is kind of like the picture , the Old Testament , that way , you know , even though it's divided up in different ways .

But I would guarantee that in this 800 years , somewhere along the line , you had , all of the laws that are in Exodus were instituted at some point in time , just as all of the laws at some point in time was instituted in regard to numbers , I mean everything , you know .

It all works together , amen , to make this great story of God's creation and God's creation and God's provision and God's protection , and on and on and on and on , amen . So you know , I guess my , my word is don't get caught up in , you know , don't get so caught up in the legalistic side of the word of god .

If nothing else , this book is more about us personally . It really is a personal , um , it's a personal book about your life , amen , and what it can look like , what it will look like , what can happen and won't happen . You know this is life's manual . Yeah , at the end of the day , this is your manual for life , amen . And so it's going to be personal .

It's only as personal as you make it . Let's put it that way only as personal as you make it . So make it as personal as possible as possible , amen . So y'all make sure that y'all tune in friday and saturday , as we have two interviews from god's diamonds in the rough .

I mean , we're getting down to the last little bit that we have pre-recorded and um , after that we're gonna see where the lord takes us , because he had put into my spirit about using ordinary or beginning to do interview ordinary people , like here in my area , and putting them on our show .

So we don't see , that was just a little , lord , I get a little something I just put in the air . Y'all be in prayer for me as I go forth . Amen , because I definitely want to be following the will of God and not doing Catherine's thing . You understand what I'm saying ? Hallelujah . So y' I'm saying Hallelujah .

Y'all be praying for me . Pray for God's Diamond Network , pray for God's Diamond in the Rough . Pray for this is all that I am doing . Pray for me , pray for my family , god , and you know that we would do the will of the Lord . Yeah , so Learning to Live in Truth will be back on back on monday , and make sure y'all tune in .
