In the background of pervasive ungodliness the ground was cursed for man's sake produced heresies which would go on troubling the nation of Israel. Seth signified the heir of promise while Adam had other sons and daughters as well. "And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters."(v.4) The lineage representing the generation of Jesus Christ continued through Enos, Cainan, Mahalaleel,Jared, Enoch, Methuselah and Lamech. All these names are set in the frame of reference to Jesus Christ. The Spirit notes the name of Enoch especially. He walked with God meaning that the Covenant. Can Enoch walk with God unless agreed upon a Covenant entered into by God and Man on the blood of Jesus? In their generations sons and daughters born to sons of Adam are not listed in the God document,
" By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God./But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him./By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith." (Heb.11.5-7)
In v.13 we have the testimony that all these died in faith. "These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth." They had faith as well as works.
"But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord."(Gen.6.8) Abiding in Christ has an upper end, heavenly places or mount Sion They also have the ground from which they were dug up. " for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return
