Subject: Son of..... reference in the Bible? |
Bible Note: In pure frustration I once asked God the answer to the question: Why are all these names in the Bible? I can't even pronounce them. Surely they are outdated and unimportant. But God told me that everything He put in the Bible is very important and has significant meaning. So I promised that I would study genealogy if He would show me the importance. And He did. First, He showed me that genealogy is a dating method -- from whence we can date the beginning of the earth (some theologians disagree with this but there are holes in their theory). Secondly, Genealogy can reveal history or prophecy. For example the name Peleg means "division" in the Hebrew language. Peleg was named because the earth was divided in his days. Scientist believe the continents were divided in prehistoric times. But an understanding of Peleg's name and the fact that he lived during the time of the Tower of Babel gives us more insight into the actual historical date the the earth was divided into continents. All Biblical names have an interpretation. And those interpretations can shed light and meaning on many things we don't understand. Sincerely, Sebkin |
