Genesis 5 is one long genealogy. But that does not mean it fails to be pertinent. It is pertinent in a special kind of way. Genesis 5 is the story of God‘s faithfulness, to keep his Word and his promises as we get ready for the story of Noah and the flood. And in the middle of the story is a departure from the pattern of the genealogy, the story of Enoch. It is a strange story. A wonderful story. And a story that points us to Jesus, the ultimate man who walked with God, and was taken to be with God, so that we could be taken to be with God as well.
