“Call on the Name of the LORD, God”

Pastor Hiroyuki Anjiki

1. The descendants of Cain

* Genesis 4:17 “knew” = Had a relation that would lead to pregnancy and birth

“Enoch” = “start” “beginning”

* Genesis 4:18 “Irad” = “town person” “city person”

“Mehujael” = “one who is saved by God” “one who received life from God”

“Methushael” = “person of God” “man of God”

“Lamech” = “strong one” “king”

2. The character of Lamech

* Genesis 4:19 “Adah” = “bag decoration”

* “Zillah” = “shadow”

* Genesis 4:20 “Jabal” = “wanderer”

* Genesis 4:21 “Jubal” = “creator”

* Genesis 4:22 “Tubal-Cain” = “one who acquired the ability to create”

“Naamah” = “fun” “pleasure”

3. The lineage of Seth

* Genesis 4:25 “Seth” = “to establish” “foundation”

* Genesis 4:26 “Enosh” = “decay”

Thoughts to share at mini church:

1. Based on the names of the characters in today’s passage, think about how the faith and values, etc. is expressed of their parents who gave those names.
