GenesisSteve Gregg
In this exposition of Genesis 4:18-5:32, Steve Gregg explores the genealogy of Adam and the significance of the individuals mentioned within. He discusses the murder of Abel by Cain and the subsequent appointment of Seth, who became the new male heir of Adam and Eve. The inclusion of multiple wives among some of the descendants of Cain is noted, but it is not presented in a negative light. The prophecy of Enoch and the significance of Methuselah's long life as an example of God's patience and mercy are also detailed.
