    Call Upon the Name (2 of 2)

    Ge.4:26

    St Paul speaks of the word sent out, "And how shall they preach, except they be sent?" (Ro.10:15). He very well knew what he preached in his missionary journeys. "The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach." This word of faith was seeded in the heart of Adam while God made him a living soul. Truth in his inward part was the animating aspect of the Spirit of Christ so whatever names Adam called His creation was spot on. By expelling man and woman from the world of the Spirit did not remove this faculty of discernment. Eve calling Seth proved that she indeed anticipated God's will concerning her as He had anticipated the name of Immanuel since He sent forth his word and the glory of the light of knowledge in the face of Jesus Christ.

    'Thy Face' gives us the key to the significance of the heart as the face or where the world of the Spirit interfaces with the world of the body. In the second section we find the Spirit setting the lifespan of man in terms of 120 years. "yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years."(6:3) Advent of the Son shall have heroes of faith to which the life of Noah is a shining example. What is 120 but man's life and his salvation set in terms of the gospel. The Spirit organized the narrative on a need-to -know basis so the perfect and complete will of the Father as fulfilled by the Son shall be on reconstituted time. With regards to the key text some scholars explain it as this, "meaning either (1) then began men to call themselves by the name of the Lord (marg.) i.e., to distinguish themselves thereby from idolaters; or (2) then men in some public and earnest way began to call upon the Lord, indicating a time of spiritual revival."(selected)

    Literalism set up their own landmarks while the Spirit forbids, " Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set."(Pr.22:28)
