GENERATIONS

  Readers often overlook chapter ten of the Book of Genesis because it consists mostly of genealogy; in this case, accounting for the descendants of Noah, on whom God had grace. [i] Why is that so important? Because the grace that Noah found was Jesus.

  The seed of “Jesus” was “planted” in this new world, a paradise on planet Earth. Noah had become the “husbandman.” [ii] Husbandry is the planting and cultivation of plants or animals. As Adam was told to “dress and keep the Garden,” [iii] he too was a husbandman. Noah was another “Adam.”

  Genesis 4-5 is about the generations of Adam, and Genesis 10-11 about the generations of the “third Adam,” Noah; and after that the generations of Abraham, the “fourth Adam.”

  The “fifth Adam” was Moses, the “sixth” David, and then long after, Jesus was the “last Adam.” They all would find grace, and a new era would begin. Jesus was Son of Man because he was the seed of the “sixth Adam,” King David.

  But what about the “second Adam?” That would be Seth. He too resided a Holy Mountain, Mount Hermon, and a new paradise was established there for generations. The Book of Enoch, which is canon in the eastern church, is about Seth and his generations. Hence the “number of man” was six with six attempts to establish for God a Kingdom on Earth.

  After Jesus, the world would begin again in the Great Tribulation when the Antichrist comes to rule the new “reset” world. His number is “666.” He shall be the fake “seventh Adam,” as the number of God is seven. Jesus is the last chance for a Seventh Paradise on Earth.

  Hence, there will be six sets of generations of mankind and six “Adams” and then the end will come, not immediately, but after Jesus comes to stay a second time. That Millennial Reign of Jesus will be His Sabbath (seventh day). He will rest on Earth after six sets of generations of tribulation, ending in the Great Tribulation.

  Jesus is Son of Man through David, so he would be the “seventh Adam.” However, he is the Son of God so He is the Image of which the first Adam was made. His born flesh was the “seventh Adam,” but his Spirit, the “second Adam.” After He was Resurrected, both His Body and Spirit were the “Second Adams.”

  The number of man also represents murder. Cain murdered first in the commencing the first list of generations. Blind Lamech murdered second, commencing the second paradise, and the genealogy of Noah. They sacrificed other men to their “god” Lucifer.

  The third world began with Abraham. In Genesis 22, the story of the “fourth Adam” begins with death as well. This time, Abraham’s story would commence with death. He was willing to sacrifice his only remaining son, Isaac, not to Lucifer but to Yahweh. Instead of Isaac, a ram died. The “fourth paradise” began on a Holy Mountain just as with Adam on Golgotha (perhaps the true Mount Eden), Seth on Mount Hermon, and Noah on Mount Ararat.

  Abraham’s story truly begins not in the plain of Ur, but on Mount Moriah, believed to be either Golgotha or nearby Temple Mount.

  The story of Moses begins with Joseph in a new world (Egypt) then ruled by a kind Pharaoh. The story of Joseph in Egypt is a “fifth paradise” but its demise also begins with death. Moses killed an Egyptian, not so much because that man was cruel, but because Satan had again entered their Paradise. Moses’s life began with a cruel Pharaoh and Moses as the murderer. But Moses killed to save his kind. That seems noble but was ignoble because God would need to die to save anyone. However, Moses lived on in the wilderness of sin on the Plain of Sin.

  Then Moses escaped sin and the wicked Pharaoh to where? Mount Sinai, a great Holy Mountain to this day. Some claim it to be in Saudi Arabia, but others Mount Eden on the north of Israel. That makes sense as well because of Lucifer’s plan: “I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north.” (Isa 14:13). 

  Why is that important? Because Satan would desire to be on the Holy Mountain rather than God. That mountain would not be to the south, but to the north. Although Lucifer desired to be on the mountain instead of God, He made it only to its base, and in a lifeless golden calf.

  Like all the exoduses from a new world, this one failed as well. It ended in death, the number of man.

  Then Moses died outside the “sixth paradise,” Israel. Moses had come full circle just as Cain, Seth, Noah, and Abraham. Israel began with death as well.

  Israel is not just what is known today; it is the entire Kingdom of David, most of the fertile crescent. That hints of the boundaries of the Garden of Eden. Saul was the first king there, but he was the murderer. His reign was rampant with the endeavor to murder David. Instead, David’s evil son, Absalom, would need to die. The “sixth paradise” began with death as well, and on Mount Moriah, the same location as Abraham’s Holy Mountain.  The Books of Kings and Chronicles of the kings are the generations of David.

  Moses had his generations as well, but he was humbled. His are traced through Aaron, and they were all priests. It was Aaron’s seed that killed Jesus, so even those generations ended in the ultimate murder!

  Moses generations were not through him, though, but his successor, Joshua (Jesus in English). Joshua’s generations are listed as well.

  The most important of the generations are Abraham’s. It is through his sons Isaac and Jacob. But also, of Ishmail and Esau. The latter two are important because they are the lines of the antichristian Muslims.

  But the focus remains on Jesus and the twelve tribes of Israel. They shall have their names engraved on the gates of Paradise in Heaven. Specifically, the generations of Judah are important, because through his seed Mary was born and the Son of Man (‘adam) was born to Mary.

  Why is Mary’s progenitors listed in the Book of Matthew? Because that identifies the Son of Man as the Son of David, the "Son" of Moses (not biological but spiritual), the Son of Abraham, the Son of Noah, the Son of Seth, and the Son of Adam.

  Jesus is seventh of those. His number is not “6”. However, the Antichrist shall be for he shall be a murderer. The Devil was a murderer from the beginning. [iv] Perhaps the third “6” in “666” is that all the “paradises” were associated with murder. The number would be “6” of man, “6” of “paradises lost,
 and the third “6” for “six deaths” to start the generations of evil.

  Of course, that is mere speculation, but what have you got? What hope is there? That the number of Jesus, “7”,  is our hope!
