    The Indisputable Gospel of Jesus In The Book Of Genesis

    (source)

    Where is the first place the gospel appears in the Bible? The answer may surprise you. Follow along and you’ll see a summary of God’s plan of redemption – hidden here within a genealogy in the book of Genesis!

    Supernatural Crafting of the Gospel in the Bible

    The Bible is not simply a bunch of books written by lots of authors over thousands of years; the Bible is a connected whole which bears evidence of supernatural crafting over and over again.

    Let’s study to see if the case for biblical authority holds water or not.

    One remarkable example of this cohesiveness can be glimpsed in Genesis Chapter 5, where we have the genealogy of Adam through Noah. As we read, we see the Hebrew names, but what do these names mean in English?

    The meaning of proper names can be a difficult pursuit. Even a conventional Hebrew lexicon can prove disappointing. A study of the original roots, however, can yield some fascinating insights.

    The Indisputable Gospel Is Begun

    1. Adam

    The Hebrew word adam is translated either as “man” or “Adam” depending on context. Adam was formed from the ground (Gen 2:7). Word play between “Adam” and “ground” (adama) is unmistakable. (source)

    2. Seth

    Adam’s son was named Seth, which means appointed. When Eve names Seth she says, “God has appointed (has given) me another offspring..”. (Genesis 4:25). Traditionally readers have understood that therefore the name Seth must mean appointed. (source – see end of page)

    3. Enosh

    Seth’s son was called Enosh, which means mortal, frail, or miserable. It is from the root anash, to be incurable, from a wound, grief, woe, sickness, or wickedness. And it was in the days of Enosh that men began to defile the name of the Living God. (source)

    4. Kenan

    Enosh’s son was named Kenan, which can mean sorrow, dirge, or elegy. (The precise denotation is somewhat elusive; some study aids unfortunately presume that Kenan is synonymous with Cainan.)

    Balaam, looking down from the heights of Moab, uses a pun upon the name of the Kenites when he prophesies their destruction.

    We have no real idea as to why these names were chosen for their children. Often they may have referred to circumstances at birth, and so on.

    5. Mahalalel

    Kenan’s son was Mahalalel, from Mahalal which means blessed or praise; and El, the name for God. Thus, Mahalalel means the Blessed God. Often Hebrew names include El, the name of God, as Dan-i-el, “God is my Judge”, etc.

    The Gospel Message Continued

    For more depth on the last 5 names, go here.

    If we continue and pull all these meanings together we distinctly have the Gospel message.

    Adam – Man
    Seth – appointed
    Enosh- mortal
    Kenan– sorrow
    Mahalalel- The blessed God
    Jared– Shall descend
    Enoch– teaching
    Methuselah– His death shall bring
    Lamech– the despairing
    Noah– rest, or comfort.

    Put together (with some added conjunctions) it says: Man (is) appointed mortal sorrow, (but) the blessed God shall come down teaching. His death shall bring (the) despairing comfort and rest.

    This was written more than 3,000 years ago or about 1,400 years before Christ.

    This is just one example of many of how God proves to us the validity of His Word, the Bible. Who else but God could orchestrate a collection of 66 separate books written by approximately 40 different authors from various geographical locations, over a period of about 1,500 to 2,000 years into one cohesive, interwoven story from beginning to end?

    The singular message, the “scarlet thread” of truth that binds each of the books together as one make the Bible, alone against all other revered texts, a revelation of God to Man.

    “He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time..” ~2 Timothy 1:9 (italics mine)

    God always rewards the diligent student!

     book by Martyn Lloyd-Jones

    Many wonder how Jesus Christ is present in the Old Testament or how even one can preach the gospel of Jesus Christ from the Old Testament. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, a minister of Westminster Chapel in London for thirty years, (1899-1981), with exegetical acuteness shows how.

    In this series of never-before-published sermons, this beloved teacher walks readers through the early chapters of Genesis. The Gospel in Genesis starts with the fall of man and ends with the call of Abram as it examines portions of chapters 3-12.

    Thus Lloyd-Jones preaches the indisputable gospel of Jesus Christ from the pages of Genesis.

    Hi! I’m Jacqueline!

    Thanks for being part of this journey with me.
    Welcome to my own little place on the internet! Home is where I love to be. I feel there is no greater place to incubate souls. These days you’ll find me using my experiences here to write about herbal remedies and natural health research — a big passion of mine. But being a wife and mother is not easy. It is challenging and potentially lonely. I get that. I wanted to create a place to connect with and support other moms for creating a natural, healthy, and fulfilling home life.

      This is AMAZING!! I’ve never heard all the meanings of these names, let alone how they convey such a wonderful, clear, concise message of the gospel, when the names are put together. I also love how the names are not randomly put together to creat this sentence – the names/words are placed in the exact same order of birth. WOW!

      I’ll have to look into this more.

      strong>What an AWESOME God we serve!

      Thanks so much!

      This is interesting! We view the complete Old Testament as a glorious introduction to Jesus Christ and our need for Him. There are so many beautiful symbolisms (and I am grateful for what you shared today). When both books are used, the blend is a beautiful picture of God’s plan via the past, present and future. Christ himself quotes the Old Testament which proves it has a majestic purpose and the prophesies in those “old” books all point to Him, what better path to the Saviour has been laid out? Thank you for posting this 🙂

      So interesting, thanks for posting this! I have been learning so much about the “Old” Testament over the past few years, and there is just so much more to learn! I love how every word and every letter in the Hebrew language holds so much meaning. And I love how the scriptures, both “old” and “new” all work together to reveal an intricate plan culminating in Messiah!

      I love this!

      I remember when I first heard a Bible teacher go through this a few years ago – I was completely amazed. I don’t know how many times I had skimmed over the genealogies wondering why on earth God had thought it was so important to have them added to the Bible.
      Well, it’s just another proof of the verse – All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness (2 Timothy 3:16) Yes. even the genealogies! 🙂

      The more I study the more I find that the seemingly boring portions of the Bible (think Lev., Deut., Job, etc) are actually full of fascinating, beautiful pictures of Jesus.

      Thanks for a reminder to keep studying!

      Luke 24:27 “And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.”

      There are hundreds of instances of Jesus appearing in the OT. I’ll give you one: Genesis 15:1 “After these things the Word of Yahweh came to Abram in a vision…”.

      This is the first of more than 100 Old Testament verses that talk about “the Word of Yahweh” interacting with men: John drew his “Jesus is the Word” language from these passages. John 1:1- In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. These appearances of Jesus in the OT are called “theophanies” or “Christophanies” and are an important part of the Gospel (see John 1:18 – “No one has seen God at any time, but the unique God, who is at the Father’s side, he has made him known.”

      I’ve capitalized “Word” in Genesis 15:1 because:

      1) This was a prophetic vision – the account relates things Abram saw and heard (Abram was a prophet – Genesis 20:7).

      2) The verb “came” indicates that God approached Abram as he previously had on at least two other occasions. (Acts 7:2; Genesis 12:1-3; 12:7. If the Genesis narrative is chronological, there are three occasions; if not, Acts 7:2 and Genesis 12:1-3 could refer to the same incident.)

      3) This passage uses the terms “the Word of Yahweh”, “Lord Yahweh” and “Yahweh” interchangeably (15:1, 2, 4, 6).

      4) The phrase “And he brought him outside” (15:5) suggests the action of a physical Presence.
