The lineage of Adam in Genesis tells the story of Christ. Each name has a deeper meaning in Hebrew.

Adam = “man/humankind”

Seth = “appointed, set”

Enosh = “mortal man”

Kenan = “lament/sorrow"

Mahalalel = “the Blessed/Praised God”

Jared = “shall descend / comes down”

Enoch = “dedicated” “consecrated teacher”

Methuselah = “his death shall send/bring”

Lamech = “despairing / strong”

Noah = “rest, comfort”

“Man, appointed to mortal sorrow—

yet the Blessed God will come down, consecrated to teach; and by His death He will bring the despairing into rest.”

You will never be able to convince me that the Bible is not a supernatural message from God to us all.

Don't take my word for it
