Genesis 5

Heaven is his throne, there he sits, the earth is his footstool, there he stands. He is everywhere present, therefore we may come to walk with God: Enoch walked with God (Genesis 5:21). If God were confined to heaven, a trembling soul might think how can I converse with God, how…

The Greek word signifies our commerce, or traffic, or citizenship is in heaven. Enoch walked with God (Genesis 5:24). His affections were sublimated; he did take a turn in heaven every day.

Q. How is this sinne propagated? A. It is conveyed from parents to children not by imitation but by generation (Genesis 5:3; Psalms 51:5; Job 14:4; John 3:6). Q. What do you understand by actual sins?

2. The order of dignity, when as those are put in the first place, not which are the eldest, but which are best and most in GOD'S favor. This order the Holy Ghost uses in naming Noah's sons, Genesis 5 verse 31: saying, Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth; when as Japheth was eldes…

But it may be objected against Sarah's age, that in the old time they had children, till they were of great age. Eve had her son Seth at 130 years old (Genesis 5:3). For, Adam and Eve must needs be both of one age: and after that, Eve bore many sons and daughters.

Jude mentioneth his name, but Paul does not, or whoever was the Author of the Epistle to the Hebrews. 3. That godly men and wicked may both be called by the same name: so Judas the Apostle, and Judas the Apostate: there was Enoch Cain's son (Genesis 4:17), and Enoch Seth's son o…

Surely there is a way of enjoying God even in our worldly employments — God would never have put us upon them to our loss. Enoch walked with God and begat sons and daughters — Genesis 5:19. He walked with God but did not retire and separate himself from the things of this life.

You lately made yourselves sure of that creature comfort which has forsaken you. Perhaps you said of your child who is now gone, as Lamech said of his son Noah in Genesis 5:29: This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands — meaning that his son should not…

But he insists much upon the generation of the godly. Seth's posterity are written in a larger scroll and more legible hand, with the number of the years which they lived (Genesis 5:6-9, etc.); which in Cain's posterity there is no notice taken of. His whole respect, his heart,…

This is called walking with God; which is to be in his presence, to go his way, and to maintain communion with him: this is when as men do, audire et reddere voces: when there is natural delight: when as they are in presence one with another; and therefore walking with God, and…

With many Additions in every Page, marked with the letter A. Five Books of Mr Jer. Burroughs lately published: As also the Texts of Scripture upon which they are grounded, namely: - 1. The rare Jewel of Christian Contentment, on Philippians 4:11. Wherein is shewed: 1 What Conten…

For it is probable that in the year immediately following the death of Abel, Eve bore Seth. That was the one hundred and thirtieth year of Adam's life (Genesis 5:8). During that space of time, the human race had without doubt grown in number and multitude; and so the church itse…

VIII. By the power of this reformation, pure theology flourished, and the church visibly separated from the world, for about a thousand years. In the course of that time, God set forth a notable example of obedience, a specimen of true theology, and a pledge of eternal life, in…

The root word properly means "to recount" or "to number"; "to write" only incidentally. Thus in Genesis 5:1, the phrase means "This is the narration" — namely, "of the generations of Adam" — and it is maintained that nothing written in a book is being asserted, but something tol…

Here is forbidden first, the want of these, and the contrary, as to waver or doubt (Psalm 13:1, 3; Psalm 88:15); to leave our hope (Hebrews 10:39); to despair (Genesis 8:13); impatience (Jeremiah 20:14, 18); to have trust in ordinary means, and to make flesh our arm, is forbidde…

When Adam fell the root was corrupted, and the branches cannot be fresh; the fountain was defiled, and the streams cannot be clean and clear. Hence when Adam begot Seth, an elect in whom the Church was continued, it is said that he begat a son after his own likeness (Genesis 5);…

For if he had sworn falsely, God would have taken revenge upon him, and his writings, before this: which he has not done. Whereas Paul says, Before God I speak it: he teaches us after his own example to bring ourselves into the presence of God, to walk before him as Enoch did (G…

The first: we must bring ourselves into the presence of the invisible God: yes, we must set our thoughts, wills, affections, and all we do in his sight and presence: and we must evermore remember whatever we do, that we have to deal with God himself. In this regard Enoch is said…

After this sort did this Patriarch Enoch preach and publish the Word of the Lord: which (undoubtedly) he had learned of his Father Adam, by influence from the Holy Ghost. For it is recorded of him in the Scriptures (Genesis 5) that he led an upright and godly life, and therefore…

The name which they principally magnifie is [in non-Latin alphabet], Metatron. Ben Vzziel in his Targum on Genesis 5 ascribes this name to Enoch when he was translated, he ascended into Heaven in the word of the Lord, [in non-Latin alphabet], and his name was called Mitatron the…

And this Angel of whom we have spoken, was he whom the Talmudists call § 23 [in non-Latin alphabet], Metatron. Ben Vzziel in his Targum on Genesis 5 ascribes this name to Enoch. He ascended, says he, into heaven by the Word of the Lord, [in non-Latin alphabet]; and his name was…

For as of old they gave significant names to their children, so therein they had respect to their present condition, or some prospect they had given them by the Spirit of God of things future, wherein they or theirs should be concerned. So have we the reasons given us of the nam…

Then had I been at rest.] We usually say when a man goes to sleep, he goes to rest: yet rest is more than sleep, for sometimes a man sleeps when he does not rest, his very sleep being troubled, and he troubled in his sleep: but when rest is joined with sleep it is perfect sleep.…

And for us who have in this matter to do with God, what is our continuance unto that of the world? a moment as it were in comparison of the whole. When mens lives were of old prolonged beyond the date & continuance of Empires or kingdoms now, yet this was the winding up of all;…

This lesson God taught Abraham, Gen. 17. 1. Walke before me and be vpright: and this Enoch had learned long before, Gen. 5. 24. and therefore was reported of that he had pleased God, Heb. 11. 5. now where this perswasion taks place, [illegible] will strike the heart with a reuer…

8. The next remarkable thing towards carrying on this work, we have an account of in scripture, is the translation of Enoch into heaven. The account we have of it is in Genesis 5:24. "And Enoch walked with God, and he was not; for God took him."

David a man after his own heart. Enoch walked with him (Genesis 5:24). All enjoying this communion and fellowship for the substance of it: but the way into the holiest was not yet made manifest, while the first tabernacle was standing (Hebrews 9:8).

Eve perhaps supposed that the promised seed had been born in her firstborn, when she said, I have gotten a man from the Lord, so most properly denoting the fourth case; and this was the matter of her joy (Genesis 4:1). Lamech having Noah given to him as a type of Christ, and sal…

Man's Paradise-like life was easy and pleasant, but now it is labor and pain, such as makes him sweat (indeed, Ecclesiastes 2:1-2, his recreations fall little short of his labor for pain and sweat). The old world was very sensible of this, as may be gathered from Genesis 5:29: H…

The Devil who is made up of pride, infused that poison into Adam's heart. When once the Serpent of hell had bitten him, his heart was swollen with pride: and Adam did propagate that poison to his children: he was in the day that God created him in the likeness of God; but when o…

As it is with the sons of the first Adam, in the work of their generation naturally, and the perverting and turning aside their souls from the Lord: so it is with the sons of the second Adam in their spiritual regeneration and conversion. But in the [reconstructed: former], the…

1 By the way we walk in; it is a private retired way, wherein only some few holy ones walk: therefore it is called a Path-way, to distinguish it from the common road, Proverbs 12. 28. In the path-way thereof is no death. 2 If we walk with God, then we walk in the fear of God, Ge…

Here then happily some, feeling the want of this so necessary a grace, will inquire concerning the means to attain thereto. The first means is for a man always to possess his heart with the apprehension of God's presence, and so to keep it in his fear continually, to walk as Eno…

First, by the Types that were before the Law, Enoch was translated and taken up bodily into Heaven, where now he is. Genesis 5:24. And Enoch walked with God, and he was not, for God took him, this is confirmed by the Apostle, Heb. 11. 5.

This however the scripture supposes to be consistent with a state of misery, expressed by wailing and gnashing of teeth. Genesis 5:24, "Enoch walked with God, and was not, for God took him." In this instance, though the scripture says, Enoch was not, which more directly expresse…

These propositions — that it is God's mind and will that such a person by name, should arise at such a time, and go from such a place to such a place, and that there he should meet with discoveries — are entirely new propositions, wholly different from the propositions contained…

(3) Because the virtue of Christ's sacrifice did no less extend itself to believers under the Old Testament than to believers under the New (Revelation 13:8). (4) From the example of Enoch, and of Moses and Elijah, which two before the passion of Christ were seen upon the mount…

Is the guilt of the sin of our first parents imputed, and the same death in sin, and corrupted nature, conveyed to all their posterity, descending from them by ordinary generation? Yes. (Romans 5:12, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19; 1 Corinthians 15:21, 22, 45, 49; Psalm 51:5; Genesis 5:3; J…

Q. 3. Are we able of ourselves to perform it? A. No, in no wise, the Law is spiritual, but we are carnal (1 Kings 8:46; Genesis 5:6; John 15:5; Romans 7:11; Romans 8:7; 1 John 1:8). Q. 4. Did then God give a Law which could not be kept?

Q. 3. Are we able of ourselves to perform it? A. No, in no wise, the law is spiritual, but we are carnal (1 Kings 8:46; Genesis 5:6; John 15:5; Romans 7:11 and 8:7; 1 John 1:8). Q. 4. Did then God give a law which could not be kept?
