(Deuteronomy 4:2 [KJV]) Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I
command you.
(Proverbs 30:5, 6 [KJV]) Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.
(Isaiah 28:10 [KJV])
For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:
(Isaiah 28:13 [KJV])
But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
(2 Peter 1:20 [KJV])
Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
All of the studies, book or topical, found here, are done with research with mainly two things: The KING JAMES BIBLE and a plain old, 1828 Webster's Dictionary. Why? Outside of actually studying secular and Jewish history, archaeology, one needs nothing more. You do not need foreign, dead languages that no one speaks, lexicons, concordances or commentaries, because they differ not only with one another and with the KING JAMES BIBLE, but they create division, confusion, debate, and unbelief. We do not need them. That Word of God written and preserved for us in our own language is supposed to be enough, like the Old Testament was for the Jews, and the New Testament for the early Christians in Greek, Latin, Italian, Spanish, German, etc. There are studies within as tangents on words, subjects found within the two testaments, as to broaden the scope of the study, to learn more, deeper truths. This is not an intellectual site with PhDs, theologians, and no worldly wisdom.. Check everything out, everything. Not just here, but with everything you read and see and hear. Be Bereans:
(Acts 17:11 [KJV])
These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
Always research for yourself, use all of the context, and never privately interpret!
Genesis Chapter 5
This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;
This book is about the times in which Adam lived.
This is the Day Six Creation account
(Genesis 5:2)
Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
Adam, as in "Man", as in "Mankind"
"Male and Female", as in already fully formed as such and mature adults
(Genesis 5:3)
And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:
This would presumably not be child number three, since there was a wife for Cain and a city built already
(Genesis
4:17)
And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.
(Genesis 5:5)
And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters: And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.
Longevity was all part of it before the Flood because of
the protection of the firmament and the slow and gradual process of sin
in the genetic pool degrading man's life
(Genesis 5:6-27)
And Seth lived an hundred and five years, and begat Enos: And Seth lived after he begat Enos eight hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters: And all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years: and he died.
And Enos lived ninety years, and begat Cainan: And Enos lived
after he begat Cainan eight hundred and fifteen years, and begat sons and
daughters: And all the days of Enos were nine hundred and five years: and he
died. And Cainan lived seventy years, and begat Mahalaleel:
And Cainan lived after he begat Mahalaleel eight hundred and forty
years, and begat sons and daughters: And all the days of Cainan were nine
hundred and ten years: and he died. And Mahalaleel lived sixty and five years,
and begat Jared: And Mahalaleel lived after he begat Jared eight hundred and
thirty years, and begat sons and daughters:
And all the days of Mahalaleel were eight hundred ninety and five
years: and he died. And Jared lived an hundred sixty and two years, and he
begat Enoch: And Jared lived after he begat Enoch eight hundred years, and
begat sons and daughters: And all the days of Jared were nine hundred sixty and
two years: and he died. And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat
Methuselah: And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred
years, and begat sons and daughters:
And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years:
And Enoch walked with God: and he was
not; for God took him.
And Methuselah lived an hundred eighty and seven years, and begat
Lamech: And Methuselah lived after he begat Lamech seven hundred eighty and two
years, and begat sons and daughters:
And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine
years: and he died.
The first Rapture!
The Composite List
Now let's put it all together:
Hebrew
English
Adam
Man
Seth
Appointed
Enos
Mortal
Kenan
Sorrow
Mahalalel
The Blessed God
Jared
Shall come down
Enoch
Teaching
Methuselah
His death shall bring
Lamech
The Despairing
Noah
Rest, or comfort.
That's rather remarkable:
Man (is) appointed mortal sorrow; (but) the Blessed God shall come down teaching (that) His death shall bring (the) despairing rest.
NO Jewish Scribe would intentionally include the Gospel message in the Old Testament
(Genesis 5:28)
And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and begat a son:
(Genesis 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.
(Genesis 5:30)
And Lamech lived after he begat Noah five hundred ninety and five years, and begat sons and daughters:
(Genesis 5:31)
And all the days of Lamech were seven hundred seventy and seven years: and he died.
(Genesis 5:32)
And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Shem, Ham and Japeth are the three people who comprise all
of the people on earth today, and they all had one father-Noah
