Did you know that the Gospel message of God’s redemption plan is presented in the names of the first 10 generations. The Messiah is hidden all through the Torah and it is our duty and glory to seek Him.
Names in the Bible have a meaning beyond just a name. When we look at the names in order, we find an interesting message in the ten generations from Adam to Noah given in Genesis 5.
