Even though the Lord gained Abel to worship Him in His way, Enosh to call on the name of the Lord, and Enoch to walk with God, mankind continued to fall and be corrupted until in Gen. 6:7 we see that God decided to blot out the man whom He has created. It looked as […]
As God’s Seekers, We Believe God’s Word and We Walk with God to be Rewarded by Him
I love how the Recovery Version says concerning Enoch in Heb. 11:5, “By faith Enoch was translated so that he should not see death”. Most versions say, “By faith Enoch was taken up” – but, if you think about it, to be translated means that you were once in a certain realm (or language) and […]
Walking with God by Faith to Escape Death and be Pleasing to God in Our Daily Life
No man has ever overcome death – the most powerful thing on this earth (besides God Himself) is death. But in Genesis we see that Enoch walked with God by faith, and he escaped death – he was raptured to God, never seeing death (see Gen. 5:22-24). Enoch obtained the testimony that he was well-pleasing […]
As Frail and Mortal Men We can Call on the Name of the Lord to Enjoy His Riches
Many times when we read the Bible we take things for granted and so we miss a lot of important things that God wants to speak to us. In Gen. 4:26 for instance we see an important landmark in human history – at the time of Enosh, mankind started to call on the name of Jehovah. […]

Seeing what God has Done to Obtain the Church as His Counterpart to Match Him
God desires to obtain a counterpart, someone who would match Him in every possible way and who loves Him to the uttermost. In order for God to produce such a complement for Himself, He did certain things. First of all, He created the heavens and the earth, the plants, the animals, and man. We see […]
Adam and Eve are a Type of Christ and the Church: “It is Not Good for God to Be Alone”
Adam and Eve in Genesis 2 are a type of Christ and the church (see Eph. 5:23-26). The real “man” in the universe is not Adam but Christ – Christ is the real universal Husband who is seeking a wife for Himself. Throughout the Bible we can see how God in Christ is courting man […]
