Calling Upon The Name Of The LORD

1611
Genesis
4:25 And Adam knew his wife againe, and she bare a sonne, & called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed mee another seed in stead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
4:26 And to Seth, to him also there was borne a sonne, and he called his name Enos: then began men to call vpon the Name of the LORD.

Matthews Bible 1537
4:25 Adam also laye wyth hys wyfe yet agayne, & she bare a sonne & called his name Seth. For God (sayd she) hath geuen me another sonne for Abel whom Cayn slewe.
4:26 And Seth begat a sonne, & called hys name Enos. And in that tyme began men to cal on the name of the Lord.

1611
5:3 And Adam liued an hundred and thirtie yeeres, and begate a sonne in his owne likenesse, after his image; and called his name Seth.
5:4 And the dayes of Adam, after he had begotten Seth, were eight hundred yeeres: and he begate sonnes and daughters.
5:5 And all the dayes that Adam liued, were nine hundred and thirtie yeeres: and he died.
5:6 And Seth liued an hundred and fiue yeeres: and begate Enos.
5:7 And Seth liued, after he begate Enos, eight hundred and seuen yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters.
5:8 And all the dayes of Seth, were nine hundred and twelue yeeres, and he died.
5:9 And Enos liued ninetie yeeres, and begate Cainan.
5:10 And Enos liued after hee begate Cainan, eight hundred and fifteene yeeres, and begate sonnes & daughters.
5:11 And all the dayes of Enos were nine hundred & fiue yeres; and he died.

Matthews Bible 1537
5:3And when Adam was an hundred & thyrty yere olde, he begat a sonne after hys sycknesse and similitude: & called his name Seth.5:4And the dayes of Adam after he begat Seth, were eyght hundred yere, and begat sonnes & daughters.5:5And al the dayes of Adam which he lyued, were .ix. hundred & .xxx. yere, and then he dyed.5:6And Seth lyued an hundred & .v. yeres, & begat Enos.5:7And after he had begat Enos he liued .viij. hundred & .vij. yere, & begat sonnes & daughters.5:8And all the dayes of Seth were .ix. hundred & .xij. yere, and dyed.5:9And Enos lyued .lxxx. yere, & begat Kenan.5:10And Enos after he begat Kenan, liued .viij. hundred & .xv. yere, and begat sonnes & daughters:5:11& al the dayes of Enos were .ix. hundred & .v. yere, & than he dyed.

Okay something is puzzling me…Adam was 130 when he begat Seth, Seth was 105 years old when he begat Enos, so for 235 years Adam or no one else called on the Name of the LORD?? I believe there is something important here, there is a reason why this is mentioned and is extremely important to understand.

People obviously knew the LORD, because it was well known about what Cain did, also there were other people born because we are given the geneology of Cain…

~~Did Adam completely abandoned Hod and quit talking to Him or about Him? No because Eve rejoices about having another son, Seth, and praises God. So there is a reason why we are being pointed to 235 years later when Enos is born and in that time men began to call upon the Name of the LORD.

1611
4:23 And Lamech sayd vnto his wiues, Adah and Zillah, Heare my voyce, yee wiues of Lamech, hearken vnto my speech: for I haue slaine a man to my wounding, and a yong man to my hurt.
4:24 If Cain shall bee auenged seuen fold, truely Lamech seuenty and seuen folde.

Matthews Bible 1537
Genesis
4:23 Then sayde Lamech vnto his wyues Ada & Zilla: heare my voice ye wiues of Lamech & herken vnto my wordes, for I haue slayne a man & wounded my self, & haue slayn a yong man, & gotte my self strypes:
4:24 for Cayn shall be auenged seuenfolde, but Lamech seuentye tymes seuenfolde.

Then if we continue to read Genesis as a book the way it was written the next thing we read after the genealogy of Seth is…

1611
6:1 And it came to passe, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were borne vnto them:
6:2 That the sonnes of God saw the daughters of men, that they were faire, and they took them wiues, of all which they chose.
6:3 And the LORD said, My Spirit shall not alwayes striue with man; for that hee also is flesh: yet his dayes shalbe an hundred and twenty yeeres.
6:4 There were Giants in the earth in those daies: and also after that, when the sonnes of God came in vnto the daughters of men, & they bare children to them; the same became mightie men, which were of old, men of renowme.
6:5 And God saw, that the wickednes of man was great in the earth, and that euery imagination of the thoughts of his heart was onely euill continually.
6:6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieued him at his heart.
6:7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man, whom I haue created, from the face of the earth: both man and beast, and the creeping thing, and the foules of the aire: for it repenteth me that I haue made them.

Matthews Bible 1537
6:1 And it came to passe, whan men began to multyply vpon the erth, & had begat them daughters,
6:2 that sonnes of god saw the daughters of men that they were fayre, and toke vnto them wyues, which they best lyked among them all.
6:3 And the Lorde sayde: My spirite shall not alway striue wyth man, for they are flesh. Neuerthelesse I wyl geue them yet space, an .C. & .xx. yeres.
6:4 There were tyrantes in the world in those dayes. For after that the chyldren of god had gone in, vnto the daughters of men, & had begotten them chyldren, the same chyldren were the mightiest of the world, & men of renowne.
6:5 And whan the Lord saw that the wekednesse of man was encreased vpon the erth, & that al the ymaginacion & thoughtes of his hert was only euell contynually,
6:6 he repented that he had made man vpon the erth, and sorowed in his hert.
6:7 And sayd: I wyl destroy mankynde whych I haue made, from of the face of the erth: both man, beast, worme and foule of the ayre, for it repenteth me that I haue made them.

I am missing something of great importance here…

From Adam to Enos 235


  • Enos dies at 905
    =1140 years since creation of man…

Adam died at the age of 930
1140-930 = 210 years Enos lived after Adam’s his grandfather’s death…

Enos at 90 had Cainan, Enos died at 905, Cainan at 70 had Mahalaleel, he died at 910 years, Mahalaleel had Jared at 65 he died at 895, Jared had Enoch at 162 he died at 962, Enoch had Methuselah at 65, Enoch walked with God 300 years after having Methuselah all the days of Enoch was 365 and God took him, Methuselah was 187 and had Lamech, he died at 969, Lamech had Noah at 182, he died at 777. ..Noah was 500 when he begat Sem, Ham, and Japheth…Noah was 600 years old when the flood happened…

Was Shem, Ham, and Japheth triplets?

Okay so Methuselah was 187 when he had Lamech, he lived 782 years after having Lamech, total years 969, Lamech was 182 when he had Noah…he lived 595 after having Noah, a total of 777 years.
Methuselah lived 5 years longer than his son Lamech he died when Noah was 600 years old…when the flood began!!!
Am I doing the math correctly? If so then wasn’t Methuselah as well as Lamech still alive when Noah was 500 and had his three sons? And if he was 500 and God gave man 120 years to repent or was that the life span or was that the time for Noah to build the Ark? Because it says that Noah was 600 Gen. 7:6 when the flood came so his sons would be 100 and Methuselah would have just died around that time…

Just thinking on here…
