When we assemble the meanings of the names together in birth order, we find a message unfolding
before us... just as it must have for those who witnessed the generations so long ago:
MANKIND / IS APPOINTED TO / A FEEBLE, FRAIL, MORTALITY / IN A FIXED DWELLING PLACE.
/ GOD WHO IS PRAISED / COMES DOWN / TO INSTRUCT / AS A MAN SENT FORTH / TO BE
BEATEN, SMITTEN AND TORTURED / BRINGING REST, A QUIET PEACE.
ADAM = MANKIND
SETH = APPOINTED TO
ENOS = FEEBLE, FRAIL, MORTALITY (#582 FROM #605)
CAINAN = A FIXED DWELLING PLACE
MAHALALEEL = GOD WHO IS PRAISED
JARED = COMES DOWN, DESCEND
ENOCH = TO INSTRUCT, TRAIN UP
METHUSELAH = A MAN SENT FORTH (#4968 FROM #4962, #7973)
