There are a lot of older people here from Adam's generation. The rest of
the world was necessarily powering on.
But God still blessed them all despite the way He had been treated and,
no doubt, was continuing to be treated. However, not by all, as we
shall see. While we are here, God has heard many say in their hearts,
"How long, oh Lord?" If anyone should be feeling the weight of that, it
is Him!
So they multiplied and died over a long period of time. Some argue that
the earth was much purer environmentally (e.g., O2 was much closer to
100%) back then, but I digress.
Along came Enoch, who lived a lot less than all the others.
Gen 5:21 And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah:
Gen 5:22 And Enoch walked with God AFTER he begat Methuselah three
hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:
Gen 5:23 And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five
years:
Gen 5:24 And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.
There are several interpretations of the name Enoch: inaugurated,
trained, dedicated, experienced, and discernment. However, there was no
doubt that he was experienced in knowing God and was dedicated to
walking with God in Person.
It appears that the birth of Enoch's son was the tipping point. To gaze
upon this son and realise where that life came from (Genesis 4:1). So he
chose to call upon the Lord to walk with Him. A "human life" and all
that that life entails are all that you need to know; there is a God!
Rom_10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be
saved.
You will find, if you CHOOSE to walk with the Lord...
Joh 21:18 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou
girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou
shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands [as a child], and
another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither THOU WOULDEST NOT.
...if you walk with the Lord, He will take you out of the world, as He
did with Enoch; that is Enoch's testimony.
Enoch did not walk with something written about God, but with God. If
you ask, seek, and knock with a heart touched like Enoch, seeing God in
all that is made, God will appear in unexpected ways in the unique daily
life He only gave you.
And so on to Noah and the necessary great reset.
