Adam lived 930 years. Think of the # of kids he could have had in that time. No doubt there were many. I did a funeral a week or so ago for an 81 year old woman (Beverly Clifford) who had 16 great grandchildren and 3 great -greats. Adam lived and saw his great great great great great grandchild, ! He died before was born! Everyone in the list died before the flood! 3. Notice is banished as a vagabond (kind of like a ) and has been murdered, neither are mentioned. Both mentioned here >> :4 4.

Enoch - lived 365 years and got translated. This is a type of the rapture ( 1 Co. 15:50-52; 1 Thess. 5:13-18). But what did Enoch learn by walking with God so closely for so long? (The has information that many second temple referred to for the details, it is also quoted in the by Peter and Jude. Enoch walked with God, and he was no more, for God took him. Enoch prayed for 365 years. Each prayer he drew closer to God. Could it be that he drew so close he spoke in tongues and received the as a man born out of due season. Thus God had to translate him!?

Prayer Keeps You Enoch's prayer life kept him in the FAITH and also enabled him to see the contrast and distinction of those falling away around him then and in the future! His prayer walk is thus underscored as essential to God's best. Jude 14 It was also about these that Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, “Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of his holy ones, 15 to execute judgment on all and to convict all the ungodly of all their deeds of ungodliness that they have committed in such an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things that ungodly sinners have spoken against him.” 1 Enoch 1:9

It is not that you earn it by merit, rather that you position yourself to receive God's best. That is why unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without unto salvation (:28)! Get in position! Quit standing afar off!!! 6. Lamech named Noah with prophetic hope. By this time the corruption in the earth and the toil of living was considerable Lamech sensed a change was coming that would work out for good. 7. Notice how old Noah was when he begat the three . After he was 500. What? Did he have others before. Was he single a long time? One story by one said Noah married at 498 to the daughter of Enoch. He refused to get married and have kids that would be destroyed in the flood. But God ordered him to marry so that he could repopulate the earth after the flood.
