A dual legacy: Legacy of death
A. A dual likeness Gen 5:1-3
(ESV) Genesis 5 1 This is the book of the generations of Adam.
When God created man, he made him in the likeness of God. 2 Male and female he created them, and he blessed them and named them Man when they were created.
3 When Adam had lived 130 years, he fathered a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth.
1. Likeness of God
2. Likeness of man – sin
(ESV) Genesis 4 26 To Seth also a son was born, and he called his name Enosh.
Enosh” means “man” and comes from a Hebrew word that means “frail, weak.”
It’s the word for man that emphasizes how fragile and weak we really are in ourselves.
B. An extended life Gen 5:4-5, 8, 11, 14, 17, 20, 27, 31
(ESV) Genesis 5 4 The days of Adam after he fathered Seth were 800 years; and he had other sons and daughters.
5 Thus all the days that Adam lived were 930 years, and he died.
8 Thus all the days of Seth were 912 years, and he died.
… 11 Thus all the days of Enosh were 905 years, and he died.
… 14 Thus all the days of Kenanwere 910 years, and he died.
…
17 Thus all the days of Mahalalel were 895 years, and he died.
… 20 Thus all the days of Jared were 962 years, and he died.

a. Consider – the dates / Every generation prior to Noah know and lived with Adam – could tell first hand the stories of creation and fall (assuming a complete list – may have skipped generations)
C.
An ultimate death Gen 5:4-5, 8, 11, 14, 17, 20, 27, 31
(ESV) Genesis 5 4 The days of Adam after he fathered Seth were 800 years; and he had other sons and daughters.

8 Thus all the days of Seth were 912 years, and he died.
… 11 Thus all the days of Enosh were 905 years, and he died.
… 14 Thus all the days of Kenanwere 910 years, and he died.
… 17 Thus all the days of Mahalalel were 895 years, and he died.

… 27 Thus all the days of Methuselahwere 969 years, and he died.
… 31 Thus all the days of Lamech were 777 years, and he died.
My own genealogy goes back into the 1600’s I don’t know much about the lives, a paragraph at most, But like here, I know the dates of birth, the children, and the day of death of each member.
And like here, all died.
