Subject: hidden codes

Bible Note: Food for thought:

In the geneology recorded in Genesis chapter 5, we normally read it as a transliterated list of names. But this "hides" a deeper meaning! When we look at this list of names translated, we see something completely different:

Adam means Man
Seth means Appointed
Enos means Mortal
Cainan means Sorrow
Mahalaleel means The Blessed God
Jared means Descent
Enoch means Commencement (ie Teaching)
Methuselah means His Death Will Bring
Lamech means Despair
Noah means Rest

So what does this say?

Man appointed mortal sorrow. The Blessed God comes down teaching. His death will bring the despairing rest.

This is the Christian gospel, "hidden" in a geneology in the Torah. Hidden code? You decide. Does it add to the message? Absolutely not - there is nothing that you don't find by just reading the Bible.

But this is interesting evidence that the Eternal, Amazing God wrote this Book, considering that He told the gospel through parents naming their children during the course of 1000 years!

Love in Christ,
Mark
