WALKING WITH GOD
THE SHEEP AND THE SHEPHERD
Lilaclady Junebug2
GENESIS 5.18 - 25
18. And Jared lived an hundred years, and he begat Enoch:
19. And Jared lived after he begat Enoch eight hundred years
and begat sons and daughters.
20. And all the days of Jarod
were nine hundred sixty and two years:
and he died.
21. And Enoch lived sixty and five years
and begat Methuselah;
22. And Enoch walked with God
after he begat Methuselah three hundred
sixty and five years:
24. And Enoch walked with God: and he was not;
for God took him.
LET ME STATE THIS AGAIN...
ENOCH LIVED THE SHORTEST LIFE OF ALL
THE PATRIARCHS LISTED IN GENESIS CHAPTER 5.
i HAVE DONE THE MATH.
I TAKE MY BIBLE SERIOUSLY, AND
SO I SAY THAT I BELIEVE THEY
LIVED AS LONG AS IT SAYS THEY DID.
SO LET ME EXPLAIN SOMETHING.
ENOCH WAS NO DIFFERENT
THAT ANYONE ELSE
EXCEPT THAT HE
WALKED WITH GOD.
There were ten patriarch of
the Hebrew people listed:
ADAM lived 930 years
SETH lived 912 years
ENOS lived 905 years
CAINAN lived 910 years
MAHALALEEL lived 895 years
JARED lived 962 years
ENOCH lived 365 years
METHUSELAH lived 969 years
LAMECH lived 777 years
NOAH was 500 years old
when the FLOOD came.
i WORKED OUT A CHART
WITH THESE DATES
AND I NOTICED SOMETHING
ABOUT ENOCH.
ALTHOUGH HIS LIFE WAS
THE SHORTEST
ALL OF THE PATRIARCHS
EXCEPT FOR NOAH
WERE ALL ALIVE
WHILE HE WAS LIVING.
With my figuring the math
I found that it was 1600 years
to the time when the FLOOD came.
Enoch called his son "METHUSELAH"
Meth = death
Selah = Think about it
When he died, Think about it!
So Enoch was a sgn that God
was going to send judgment when
Methuselah died.
And Methuseh was the father of
Lamech
who was the father of
Noah
"and they named him No'e"
because "this same
would comfort us'
because of the sin curse
on the world.
So Methuselah was Noah's
GRANDFATHER
and
ENOCH
was the GREAT GRANDFATHER
God took Enoch.
He walked with God, and he was not,
For God took him.
My ! I wonder how many
noticed.
I wonderf.
Only Noah and his Wife,
The three sons,
Ham, Shem, and Japheth
went into the Ark when it was done.
Enoch named him for
a reason.
As you look around,
it is any different today?
It says of the world
at that time
Genesis 5. And God saw that
the wickedness of man
was great on the earth, and
that every imagination
of the thoughts of his heart
was only evil continually.
v.6. And it repented the LORD
that he had made man on
the earth, and it
grieved him
at his heart.
Well now. If you remember
God always IS WAS AND WILL BE
but Man was intended to
be in a relationship
with God.
When God made the world and
everything in it,
He put the man in the garden to
do the care and tend to every thing there.
He told Adam and Eve to
multiply and to have children
BEFORE
SIN CAME INTO THE WORLD.
So it was not the
curse
that brought work into our lives.
It was not
having children
that was cursed.
No.
It was simply that
because of Adam's responsibilty
to sin
to refuse to obey
to turn agains what he knew
to choose to take of
the forbidden fruit
HE BROUGHT SIN
AND DEATH
INTO THE WORLD
And yet, here we have
recorded that
Enoch was
telling people
about the Lord
and warning them
of the coming
JUDGMENT.
Jude in the New
Testament says
Jude v. 14 And Enoch also,
the seventh from Adam,
prophesied of these,
saying,
Behold, the LORD cometh
with ten thousands
of the saints,
v. 15 to execute judgment
upon all,
and to convince all
that are ungodly
among them
of their ungodly deeds
which they have
ungodly committed,
and of all their hard
speeches which
ungodly sinners
have spoken against him.
In Titus, chapter 2
Paul tells in v. 11
That "the grace of God that bringeth
salvation hath appeared to all men,
v.12 teaching us that, denying
ungodliness
and worldly lusts,
we should live soberly,
righteously,
and godly
in this present world;
v.13 looking for that
blessed hope,
and the glorious appearing
of the great God and our Saviour
Jesus Christ;
v.14 who gave himself
for us, that he might
redeem
us
from all iniquity,
and purify
unto himself
a peculiar people,
zealous of good works.
SO YOU SEE WHY I TOLD YOU
ALL THESE THINGS
Enoch's testimony was
known by all those
who lived before
the FLOOD
THAT GREAT FLOOD
that changed
the world that was
to what it is now.
You and I can be
LIGHTS IN THIS WORLD
SHINING
LIGHTING THE WAY
SHOWING A PATH
LEADING OTHERS
INTO
THE RIGHT PATH
by
example
by
depending on
the Bible
God's Written Word
that gives us
all that we need
to direct our path
and to show us the way
becasue
WHEN WE ASK
JESUS
TO SAVE US FROM OUR SIN
HE DOES JUST THAT
And makes us brand new
II Corinthians 5.21
For He hath made him to be sin
for us, who knew no sin,
that we
might be made
the righteousness
of God in him.
Romans 6.5
For if we have been planted
together in the likeness
of his death,
even so we shall
be also in the likeness
of his resurrection;
v.6
Knowing this, that
our old man is crucified
with him, that
the body of sin
might be destroyed,
that
HENCEFORTH
we shall not serve sin.
v. 7
for he that is dead is
freed from sin.
v. 8
Now if we be dead
with Christ, we
believe that we shall
also LIVE WITH HIM.
v.9
Knowing that Christ being raised
from the dead dieth no more;
death hath no dominion
over him.
v.10
For in that He died, he
died unto sin once: but in that he
liveth, he liveth unto God.
v.11. LIKEWISE
RECKON
YE YOURSELVES
DEAD INDEED UNTO SIN,
BUT ALIVE
UNTO GOD
THROUGH JESUS CHRIST
OUR LORD.
Romans 8.9
But ye are not in the flesh, but
in the Spirit, if so be
that the Spirit of God
dwell in you.
Now if any man have not
the Spirit of Christ,
he is none of his.
8.10 And if Christ be
in you,
the body is dead
because of sin;
but the Spirit is life
because of righteousness.
v.11. But if the
Spirit of him that raised
up Jesus from the dead
dwell in you, he that
raised up Christ from
the dead shall also
quicken your mortal
bodies by his Spirit that
dwelleth in you.
THEREFORE,
brethren,
ye are debtors,
not to the flesh,
to live after the flesh
v.13. for if ye live
after the flesh,
ye shall die;
but if ye through
the Spirit do mortify
the deeds of the
body,
ye shall live.
Romans 8.14.
FOR AS MANY AS
ARE LED BY THE
SPIRIT OF GOD,
THEY ARE
THE
SONS OF GOD.
