Most of us tend to pass over genealogies rather quickly in our bible reading, thinking that they have little to offer us. However, such an idea could not be further from the truth! This genealogy is rich with meaning, as it reveals to us the terrible reality and pervasiveness of death. Yet there is hope, in the midst of all the death, we are reminded that God's image is not lost, it remains imprinted in us even after the fall, Enoch shows us that death is not the end for us, there is a better life after this life, and Lamech's prophecy about his son, Moses, reveals that there remains a promised redeemer!
