This Has To be One of the Coolest Things

Even if you're not a Christian you have to admit this is pretty frickin sweet.

In the book of Genesis (chapter 5) there's a genealogy with the names listed in a certain order (I won't bore you but, for example, Adam was the father of Seth, Seth became the father of Enosh, etc, etc.  Look it up if you want, it begins in verse 3).  When you put those names in order (as they are listed ) and translate them using Strong's Concordance (revealing the Hebrew meaning of the names) this is what they say (so crazy you guys):

Adam = man (is)
Seth = appointed
Enosh = mortal
Kenan = sorrow (but)
Mahalalel = the blessed God
Jared = shall come down
Enoch = teaching
Methuselah = his death shall bring
Lamech = (the) despairing
Noah = comfort, rest

HOW CRAZY IS THAT?!!  We have the gospel message hidden in the first book of the Bible.

Man (is) appointed (to) mortal sorrow; (but) the Blessed God shall come down teaching; His death shall bring the despairing rest, or comfort.

Now I didn't study this myself too extensively so please don't take my word for it, I'm sharing what I've been taught by others but I did think it was pretty neat.  Regardless, one truth I am willing to teach with confidence is the message of the gospel, whether it's hidden in Genesis 5 or not.

And remember what these 2 names mean as well.

Jehovah means he causes to become.

Jesus means Jehovah is salvation.

Interesting.  It makes me wonder about the process through which the names were chosen.
