The summary of the New Testament Gospel is found in the genealogy in the Old Testament. Read and be amazed...
Read Genesis 5...it is the genealogy of Adam through till Noah. Chuck Missler dug into the meaning of the Hebrew roots that make up the names...Here is the treasure...the pearl of great price that he found.
Here are the names and their respective meanings.
Adam: (adomah) "man"
Seth: "appointed" (Genesis 4:25 tells us this)
Enosh: (from root anash, "to be incurable") "mortal", "frail", "miserable"
Kenan: "sorrow,:" "dirge," "elegy"
Mahalal'el: "the Blessed God--(mahalal) "blessed", ; (El) the name for God
Jared: (from the verb yaradh) "shall come down"
Enoch: "commencement" or "teaching"
Methusaleh: "his death shall bring:--muth, a root that means "death" ; shalach means "bring" or "send forth"
Lamach: "despairing (from which we get lament or lamentation)
Noah: (derived from nacham) "comfort" or "rest" (Genesis 5:29)
Reading the meaning of those names in order, here is what we get in English:
"Man [is] appointed mortal sorrow; [but] the blessed God shall come down teaching [that His] death shall bring [the] despairing rest."
Wow!!!!!
Every detail in the bible is there by design...it is a supernatural book written outside of time. God's plan of redemption was not a knee jerk response reaction to the fall in chapter 3. God had ordained it before the foundation of the world.
