Please reflect on Isaiah 41:10-13, John 16:33, John 15:5-7, 1 Corinthians 10;13, 1 Chronicles 4:9-10.
How is Virginia doing today? I've been praying for her.
When Abel was murdered, Cain was left. He went in a rebellious direction against God. When Seth was born, God blessed him and his descendants as God determined that it was through the lineage of Seth that the Savior of Gen. 3:15 would come. Although there is a short account of Cain's lineage. His lineage ended in the flood along with the lineage of any other sons born to Adam after Seth.
The point of giving the lineages in the Bible is to document the Messianic lineage from Adam to Jesus. It is through the lineage of Seth that the Savior would be born. Noah was a descendant of Seth and only Noah and his family survived the flood to repopulate the earth.
There are accounts of the lineages of Noah's three sons, Shem, Japheth, and Ham in Genesis 10, but after that, the Bible focuses on the lineage of Shem and then narrows down to the lineage of Abraham through Isaac, though Abraham had 7 other sons. The focus is then on Jacon, not Esau. And then on the 12 sons of Jacob.
Then we come to the line of Judah, from which King David was born. David had many sons from many wives. But Solomon is singled out. So we have a narrow focus on genealogy in the Bible because it is to show the human lineage of Jesus to show that He is from the tribe of Abraham, through Judah, which qualifies Him to be the Messiah as an Israelite.
We'll talk soon.
Go's bless you.
Your post is helpful as well. Replies sometime takes awhile to post. Have a wonderful vacation with your wife.
God bless,

The presentation is Jesus.
I didn't see your post until after I sent.
God bless.
In Genesis 5 you see Adam and Eve begat more sons and daughters, There also omitted.
"And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:" Genesis 5:4.
In Luke 3:23-38 there's a genealogy of Jesus from Heli (The father of Mary) on through Seth to Adam. Joseph's father is omitted.
The focus of these genealogies is to present the line of Christ.
THE VOLUME OF THESE 66 BOOKS IS WRITTEN OF CHRIST.
In Matthew there's a genealogy of Jesus with the line going through Solomon on through David through Seth to Adam.
In Luke 3 it goes through Nathan on through David, again through Seth to Adam.
When these names are omitted are presented it's to present Jesus in a specific way and display a particular message.
SECONDLY;
The genealogy in Genesis 5 sets the stage for the next theme or story of the Bible. Noah.
You see this repeated when Abraham is presented in Genesis 11:10-32.
There's been many heresies presented around this over the years.
Some presented the idea of there were offspring that wasn't of Adam.
Even Satan is mentioned as being the father of Cain.
I hope this helps.
God bless.
Herod Antipas, (born 21 bce-died after 39 ce ), son of Herod I the Great who became tetrarch (ruler of a minor principality in the Roman Empire) of Galilee, in northern Palestine, and Peraea, east of the Jordan River and Dead Sea, and ruled throughout Jesus of Nazareth's ministry.
This is from Encyclopedia Brittanica
It was after Adam and Eve were cast out of the garden before they had children. The nature and function of the information of Genesis 5 and 11 is a unique feature in these chapters in contrast to the various genealogies in the Old and New Testaments. Many assume the genealogical list is counted from father to son; there is no mention of the females, and each son is represented as the first son.
The fact is, the text never explicitly states, nor does it imply, that the sons listed were the "firstborn" of their fathers and if you consider the ages the fathers were when they had these sons. Do we believe Noah was 500 years old before he had children?
This points to these chronogenealogy lists that do not include all their children. Scripture is clear Cain and Abel were before Seth, Cain killed Abel before Seth and Adam was 130 years old when Seth was born so, Seth is clearly not the first born and we cannot assume his son and his son's son and so on that are listed may or may not be the first born.
If we follow the lists through the Bible it will show the family tree of Jesus the Messiah/Christ not a list of the first born. The Bible from the beginning is telling us of Jesus, and He will be of the seed of woman, from Eve Gen. 3:15 to Abraham, Gen. 17:7 to Mary, Matt. 1:1-17
Hope this helps,
God bless,

I have bad nightmares a creepy ex roomy i rented from is stalking and assaulting me.
I repent for renting there. My man named hummer said he would live there with me and backed out at last minute. Ray and christy told me to go there. They all 3.sold me.out and deceived me.
Save me from all these creepy ex roomy who have stalked and torment me. And my ex hummer who sold me.out.
Hummer refused to.pay rent with me and sold me out. May god judge him harshly for selling me out to a bad place to live when he had money to get a place with me and help me like a real man.
God deliver me from all these enemies. No more ex roomy assualted.by him nightmares anymore.
Please deliver me from the demons of the past.
Set me.free by a miracle and divine intervention
Set me free of the demons of the past
Amen

Have a good night's sleep. I am sleepy, so hopefully I will get to sleep quickly. Please pray that I do since I do have trouble getting to sleep most nights. I appreciate that.
And thank you, too.
I try to remember that there are many times more people reading our posts on here than just those who enter into the discussion by posting. So, we do our best to present what we have found to be true from Scriptures. Others also do the same. This does not mean that all interpretations are equally true, valid, logical, nor reasonable. But I do think that we are all sincere when we post.
We must leave the results of our discussions up to the workings of the Holy Spirit. I have read many articles of people who began as a dispensationalist as a youth and through sincere searching of the Word have moved away from dispensationalism and the pre-trib rapture as a result. There are most likely those who have moved in the reverse order.
One thing I try to be sure of is that I am not discussing such matters to "win" the disagreement or to stamp down anyone else's viewpoint. This does not mean we do not speak our views strongly. But it does mean that our motivation is to truly represent what God has revealed in Scripture for the love of truth and for the love of others reading our posts.
It is not always easy to maintain a "cool" head in such discussions, but it is possible, with practice. I do try to stay on topic and not try to disparage those who disagree with me. I find that, especially with the topic of dispensationalism and pre-trib rapture that I am often disparaged and attempts are made to discredit me. And I will speak up about this because we, as brethren should be treating one another better than that. And I do try to speak honestly without retaliating speech. I wish I could say I am 100% on this, but we all do fail. So, we should be understanding of others when they fail, too. We are to love one another, whether we agree or not.
Jimbob, I know we do not agree on every matter either, but it has been an honor to work with you on presenting what we believe is biblical evidence about the error of the pre-trib rapture.
And thank you, too.
