God's Deleting Ability


Genesis 5:3 tells us, “And Adam lived one hundred thirty years and begot a son in his likeness, according to his image, and he called his name Seth.” Abel is gone, and Cain is also gone. It is as if they never existed. This chapter simply tells us that Adam lived one hundred and thirty years and begot Seth. Everything that happened in chapter four has disappeared. It is over. This shows us that God has a great “deleting” ability. In chapter five God deleted all of the negative things which were in chapter four, and simply started over.




Notice how close the name Enosh is to Enoch........


Seth Begetting Enosh: Realizing That We are “Mortal”


After the death of Abel the line of life continued with Adam's son Seth. Seth, whose name means “appointed,” was the continuation of Abel. Seth then begot a son named Enosh. The name “Enosh” means “weak,” or “mortal.” Seth was the appointed one, yet he named his son “mortal.” For Seth to name his son Enosh was to say, “I know I am the appointed one, but I also know that I am weak and mortal. I know that I, and my descendants, will die.”
