Genesis 5 – From Adam To Noah – A Study Of Names That Point To Jesus

In this chapter in Genesis, we get the family line from Adam to Noah. The key here is the names and their meaning.

Please pay attention to the meaning of these names; they all point to the coming and the purpose of Jesus.

Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Holy Word and the meaning behind them. I pray that these words affect the hearts of those who come to know them.

In the name of Jesus, I pray, Amen!!
