Text — Genesis 5:15-24
Message
“The reading of a good biography forms an important part of a Christian’s education. It provides him with numberless illustrations for use in his own service,” says Ransom W. Cooper. Genealogy is a historical record of family descendants. By it, we discover that David was a descendant of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Jesus also came to earth in David’s lineage. It is advisable that you know the biography of your parents and your church leaders.
Enoch was a true prophet in flesh and blood. He lived in the evil days when people had a lifespan of centuries without any record of walking with God. Enoch was taken by God at a relatively tender age of 365 years while his father, Jared, still had 435 more years to live. Enoch was the father of Methuselah, the oldest man that ever lived on Earth. Enoch served God so much that God took him off the earth. He went as a model for the rapture. To go with saints at the rapture, you must be born again, obey God and walk in all his ways like Enoch.
