LINEAGE of Abraham

 

Genesis 15:6

King James Version

6 And he believed in the Lord; 

and he counted it to him for righteousness.

We've now come to another important part of Scripture.

Surely, you've heard of Abraham.

He was called "Abram" then.

What were his roots?

This, we look into here:

Genesis 10:1

King James Version

10 Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, 

Shem, Ham, and Japheth: 

and unto them were sons born after the flood.

Genesis 10:21-31

King James Version

21 Unto Shem also, 

the father of all the children of Eber, 

the brother of Japheth the elder, 

even to him were children born.

22 The children of Shem; 

Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.

23 And the children of Aram; 

Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.

24 And Arphaxad begat Salah; 

and Salah begat Eber.

25 And unto Eber were born two sons: 

the name of one was Peleg; 

for in his days was the earth divided; 

and his brother's name was Joktan.

26 And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, 

and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah,

27 And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,

28 And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,

29 And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: 

all these were the sons of Joktan.

30 And their dwelling was from Mesha, 

as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east.

31 These are the sons of Shem, 

after their families, after their tongues, 

in their lands, after their nations.

Genesis 11:10-27

King James Version

10 These are the generations of Shem: 

Shem was an hundred years old, 

and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood:

11 And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years, 

and begat sons and daughters.

12 And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, 

and begat Salah:

13 And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah 

four hundred and three years, 

and begat sons and daughters.

14 And Salah lived thirty years, 

and begat Eber:

15 And Salah lived after he begat Eber 

four hundred and three years, 

and begat sons and daughters.

16 And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg:

17 And Eber lived after he begat Peleg 

four hundred and thirty years, 

and begat sons and daughters.

18 And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu:

19 And Peleg lived after he begat Reu 

two hundred and nine years, 

and begat sons and daughters.

20 And Reu lived two and thirty years, 

and begat Serug:

21 And Reu lived after he begat Serug 

two hundred and seven years, 

and begat sons and daughters.

22 And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor:

23 And Serug lived after he begat Nahor 

two hundred years, 

and begat sons and daughters.

24 And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terah:

25 And Nahor lived after he begat Terah 

an hundred and nineteen years, 

and begat sons and daughters.

26 And Terah lived seventy years, 

and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran.

27 Now these are the generations of Terah: 

Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; 

and Haran begat Lot.

This is the lineage of ABRAM -- from Adam to Terah:

From Adam:

Seth

Enos

Cainan

Mahalaleel

Jared

Enoch

Methuselah

Lamech

Noah

From Noah:

Shem

Arphaxad

Salah

Eber

Peleg

Reu

Serug

Nahor

Terah

We learn that Abram came from the tribe of Shem.

Shem was one of the sons of Noah.

Abram's father was Terah.

Why did Abram matter?

Why did GOD choose him?

What was expected of him?

What did GOD promise Abram?

GOD's early ANGER

 

Ezekiel 25:17

King James Version

17 And I will execute 

great vengeance upon them 

with furious rebukes; 

and they shall know that I am the Lord, 

when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.

What makes GOD angry?

What incurs His wrath?

What actions of man elicit such?

Early on in Genesis, we know of two instances.

These changed man's life forever.

GOD commands Adam:

Genesis 2:15-17

King James Version

15 And the Lord God took the man, 

and put him into the garden of Eden 

to dress it and to keep it.

16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, 

Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, 

thou shalt not eat of it: 

for in the day that thou eatest thereof 

thou shalt surely die.

Adam and Eve's disobedience:

Genesis 3:11-12

King James Version

11 And he said, 

Who told thee that thou wast naked? 

Hast thou eaten of the tree, 

whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?

12 And the man said, 

The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, 

she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.

GOD's reaction:

Genesis 3:22

King James Version

22 And the Lord God said, 

Behold, the man is become as one of us, 

to know good and evil: 

and now, lest he put forth his hand, 

and take also of the tree of life, 

and eat, and live for ever:

GOD's response:

Genesis 3:14-15

King James Version

14 And the Lord God said unto the serpent, 

Because thou hast done this, 

thou art cursed above all cattle, 

and above every beast of the field; 

upon thy belly shalt thou go, 

and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:

15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, 

and between thy seed and her seed; 

it shall bruise thy head, 

and thou shalt bruise his heel.

Genesis 3:16

King James Version

16 Unto the woman he said, 

I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; 

in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; 

and thy desire shall be to thy husband, 

and he shall rule over thee.

Genesis 3:17-19

King James Version

17 And unto Adam he said, 

Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, 

and hast eaten of the tree, 

of which I commanded thee, saying, 

Thou shalt not eat of it: 

cursed is the ground for thy sake; 

in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;

18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; 

and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;

19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, 

till thou return unto the ground; 

for out of it wast thou taken: 

for dust thou art, 

and unto dust shalt thou return.

Genesis 3:23-24

King James Version

23 Therefore the Lord God sent him forth 

from the garden of Eden, 

to till the ground from whence he was taken.

24 So he drove out the man; 

and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden 

Cherubims, 

and a flaming sword which turned every way, 

to keep the way of the tree of life.

Families of Noah's sons disobedience:

Genesis 11:1-4

King James Version

11 And the whole earth was of one language, 

and of one speech.

2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, 

that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; 

and they dwelt there.

3 And they said one to another, 

Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. 

And they had brick for stone, 

and slime had they for morter.

4 And they said, 

Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, 

whose top may reach unto heaven; 

and let us make us a name, 

lest we be scattered abroad 

upon the face of the whole earth.

GOD's reaction:

Genesis 11:5-6

King James Version

5 And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, 

which the children of men builded.

6 And the Lord said, 

Behold, the people is one, 

and they have all one language; 

and this they begin to do: 

and now nothing will be restrained from them, 

which they have imagined to do.

GOD's response:

Genesis 11:7-9

King James Version

7 Go to, 

let us go down, 

and there confound their language, 

that they may not understand one another's speech.

8 So the Lord scattered them abroad 

from thence upon the face of all the earth: 

and they left off to build the city.

9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; 

because the Lord did there 

confound the language of all the earth: 

and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad 

upon the face of all the earth.

GOD is fair.

GOD is just.

GOD is loving.

GOD is generous.

GOD is merciful.

But man is disobedient.

We have been given everything.

But we want more.

We are ruled by our pride, greed, and lusts.

We have this great desire for power, glory, and might.

Elements that rightfully belong only to GOD alone.

Thus, all the trouble we've all been going through.

Accounting for divison among nations.

All the violence, all the wars, all the injustice.

All the unnecessary suffering.

Precisely why GOD sent JESUS.

That the Messiah may save us from the spirit of Satan in us.

Will anything every change?

It will, if we follow GOD's will.

It will, if we believe in JESUS.

It will, if we love GOD, and others.

We have SPIRIT and Scripture to guide us.

Scripture laid all the commands that please the LORD.

JESUS lived all those commands.

And taught us to do the same.

All we have to do is follow, and know the fruits of the SPIRIT.

GOD also appointed one man for all nations.

We shall see his roots on the next page.

GENERATIONS from ADAM

 

Genesis 5:1

King James Version

5 This is the book of the generations of Adam. 

In the day that God created man, 

in the likeness of God made he him;

Adam was the first man.

The Book of Genesis was clear on that.

After Adam, who were his children with Eve?

How old was he when he had his first child?

Again, Scripture's clear on that.

Such is GOD's book -- clear as His light of day:

Genesis 5:3-5

King James Version

3 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, and after his image; and called his name Seth:

4 And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:

5 And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.

Genesis 5:6-8

King James Version

6 And Seth lived an hundred and five years, and begat Enos:

7 And Seth lived after he begat Enos eight hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters:

8 And all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years: and he died.

Genesis 5:9-11

King James Version

9 And Enos lived ninety years, and begat Cainan:

10 And Enos lived after he begat Cainan eight hundred and fifteen years, and begat sons and daughters:

11 And all the days of Enos were nine hundred and five years: and he died.

Genesis 5:12-14

King James Version

12 And Cainan lived seventy years and begat Mahalaleel:

13 And Cainan lived after he begat Mahalaleel eight hundred and forty years, and begat sons and daughters:

14 And all the days of Cainan were nine hundred and ten years: and he died.

Genesis 5:15-17

King James Version

15 And Mahalaleel lived sixty and five years, and begat Jared:

16 And Mahalaleel lived after he begat Jared eight hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters:

17 And all the days of Mahalaleel were eight hundred ninety and five years: and he died.

Genesis 5:18-20

King James Version

18 And Jared lived an hundred sixty and two years, and he begat Enoch:

19 And Jared lived after he begat Enoch eight hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:

20 And all the days of Jared were nine hundred sixty and two years: and he died.

Genesis 5:21-24

King James Version

21 And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah:

22 And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:

23 And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years:

24 And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.

Genesis 5:25-27

King James Version

25 And Methuselah lived an hundred eighty and seven years, and begat Lamech.

26 And Methuselah lived after he begat Lamech seven hundred eighty and two years, and begat sons and daughters:

27 And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died.

Genesis 5:28-31

King James Version

28 And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and begat a son:

29 And he called his name Noah, saying, This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the Lord hath cursed.

30 And Lamech lived after he begat Noah five hundred ninety and five years, and begat sons and daughters:

31 And all the days of Lamech were seven hundred seventy and seven years: and he died.

Genesis 5:32

King James Version

32 And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

Able to digest all that?

Notice how Noah is the ninth generation.

In each generation, only ONE son was born.

With Noah, he had THREE sons -- Shem, Ham, and Japeth.

Very interesting, isn't it?

How the Bible's so detailed.

So pure, perfect, and precise.

Because it is of GOD.

Speaking of that which is of GOD, we look to Noah.

Why was he favored?

What did GOD ask him to do?

GENESIS on man

 Job 1:21

King James Version

21 And said, 

Naked came I out of my mother's womb, 

and naked shall I return thither: 

the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; 

blessed be the name of the Lord.

It's time to know GOD's TRUTH.

How GOD created us.

Despite the world's claims.

That we came from apes.

And all such nonsense.

Let GOD's Genesis speak:

Genesis 1:26

King James Version

26 And God said, 

Let us make man in our image, 

after our likeness: 

and let them have dominion 

over the fish of the sea, 

and over the fowl of the air, 

and over the cattle, 

and over all the earth, 

and over every creeping thing 

that creepeth upon the earth.

Genesis 1:27

King James Version

27 So God created man in his own image, 

in the image of God created he him; 

male and female created he them.

Genesis 1:28

King James Version

28 And God blessed them, 

and God said unto them, 

Be fruitful, and multiply, 

and replenish the earth, 

and subdue it: 

and have dominion 

over the fish of the sea, 

and over the fowl of the air, 

and over every living thing 

that moveth upon the earth.

Genesis 2:7

King James Version

7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, 

and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; 

and man became a living soul.

Genesis 2:20-22

King James Version

20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, 

and to the fowl of the air, 

and to every beast of the field; 

but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.

21 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep 

to fall upon Adam, and he slept: 

and he took one of his ribs, 

and closed up the flesh instead thereof;

22 And the rib, 

which the Lord God had taken from man, 

made he a woman, 

and brought her unto the man.

Genesis 2:23

King James Version

23 And Adam said, 

This is now bone of my bones, 

and flesh of my flesh: 

she shall be called Woman, 

because she was taken out of Man.

Genesis 2:24

King James Version

24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, 

and shall cleave unto his wife: 

and they shall be one flesh.

Genesis 5:1

King James Version

5 This is the book of the generations of Adam. 

In the day that God created man, 

in the likeness of God made he him;

Genesis 5:2

King James Version

2 Male and female created he them; 

and blessed them, 

and called their name Adam, 

in the day when they were created.

Was that really so hard to understand?

Was that so hard to accept?

Was that so hard to visualize?

Any child would love such a story.

It's entirely believable.

For it's real.

Only the proud, and hardhearted, refuse to learn.

They think they know better.

GOD always humbles such braggarts.

For myself, I learn fast because GOD made me born again.

After which, He anointed me with His SPIRIT.

That I may get things right.

GOD knew I was going to share my discoveries with you.

As such, I had to be taught by His SPIRIT.

Now that SPIRIT taught me, how can I keep it to myself?

I couldn't wait to share with you my discoveries.

That's why we have 96 blogs already, phew...

Now, after Adam, what happened next?

Did he have children?

Who were they?

Let's have a look at his lineage.

Time to turn to the next post.
