        Issue #: 10   
      
        We've studied the linage from Adam up to Enoch.  We'll continue   
        our study from Genesis 5:19.   
      
        (KJV) Gen 5:19  And Jared lived after he begat Enoch eight hundred   
                        years, and begat sons and daughters:   
      
        (KJV) Gen 5:20  And all the days of Jared were nine hundred sixty   
                        and two years: and he died.   
      
        Nine hundred and two years is a very long time to live for anyone.   
        I wish I lived that long!  Seriously, if we could maintain our   
        health that long and still be productive members of society, that   
        would be quite fascinating.  Wouldn't it be interesting to   
        interact with members of our family from that long ago?  There   
        would be so much we could learn from each other.   
      
        (KJV) Gen 5:21  And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat   
                        Methuselah:   
      
        Are you still with me up to this point?  There are a lot of names   
        and the families are so big.  Now we have Methuselah.  Can you   
        trace back all the way from the beginning with Adam?  Here, I will   
        help you.   
      
        Adam, Seth, Enos, Cainan, Mahalaleel, Jared, Enoch, and   
        Methuselah.   
      
        Are you enjoying it this far?  I hope so.  Let's continue on...   
      
        (KJV) Gen 5:22  And Enoch walked with God after he begat   
                        Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons   
                        and daughters:   
      
        (KJV) Gen 5:23  And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty   
                        and five years:   
      
        (KJV) Gen 5:24  And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God   
                        took him.   
      
        Can you imagine that?  Enoch did not have to suffer death.  When   
        he walked with God, God had taken him to be with him because he   
        favored him.  Wouldn't it be amazing if we could live and never   
        have to suffer death?  Someday we will and it will be one of the   
        most awesome things we will do.  We will live for eternity!   
      
        (KJV) Gen 5:25  And Methuselah lived an hundred eighty and seven   
                        years, and begat Lamech:   
      
        (KJV) Gen 5:26  And Methuselah lived after he begat Lamech seven   
                        hundred eighty and two years, and begat sons and   
                        daughters:   
      
        (KJV) Gen 5:27  And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred   
                        sixty and nine years: and he died.   
      
        (KJV) Gen 5:28  And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years,   
                        and begat a son:   
      
        (KJV) Gen 5:29  And he called his name Noah, saying, This same   
                        shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of   
                        our hands, because of the ground which the Lord   
                        hath cursed.   
      
        Since Cain killed Able, the blood from Able lead to God cursing   
        the ground we walk on.  Men were forever cursed to work the   
        ground from morning until night.  The Earth is about to change.   
        We will soon see!   
      
        (KJV) Gen 5:30  And Lamech lived after he begat Noah five hundred   
                        ninety and five years, and begat sons and   
                        daughters:   
      
        (KJV) Gen 5:31  And all the days of Lamech were seven hundred   
                        seventy and seven years: and he died.   
      
        (KJV) Gen 5:32  And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah   
                        begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth.   
      
        Just as you had thought the population was about to grow, now you   
        will see something spectacular happen the Earth and all the evil   
        it had consumed since day one when he created it.  We will   
        conclude here and resume with chapter 6 in the coming weeks.   
      
        If you've enjoyed our meeting, remember to ask your SysOp to carry   
        MINISTER, an echo with FidoNet if he/she doesn't already.  Remember   
        also to keep your head up high.  May God bless you and keep you!
