The implication of the Gospel message within the very names of the first ten generations of mankind is staggering. It demostrates that from the beginning of time God had already laid out his plan of redemption for the predicament of mankind. It is the beginning of a love story, ultimately written in blood on a cross.
This simple list of names is one of many evidences that the Bible is…the product of supernatural engineering. This punctures the presumptions of most people who view the Bible as mere stories-as a record of an evolving cultural tradition. The Bible claims to be authored by the One who alone knows the end from the beginning. The One who is not just watching time pass by but instantaneously knows every detail of the past, the present, and the future…because He is the Creator of time itself.
It is astonishing to discover how many Bible controversies simply evaporate if one simply recognizes the unity and the integrity of these 66 books. Every number, every place, every name, every detail–'every jot and tittle' (the smallest space of the Hebrew language)–is part of a tightly engineered design, tailored for our learning, our discovery, and our amazement.
