What did Enoch, Noah, and Abraham have in common?<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

David recorded by THE SPIRIT in Psalm chapter 34:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1  I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. 2 My soul shall make its boast in the LORD; The humble shall hear of it and be glad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3 Oh, magnify the LORD with me, And let us exalt His Name together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4 I sought the LORD, and He heard me<\/strong>, And delivered me from all my fears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5 They looked (n\u0101\u1e07a\u1e6d) to Him and were radiant, And their faces were not ashamed<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6 This poor man cried out, and the LORD heard him, And saved him out of all his troubles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7 The angel of the LORD encamps all around those who fear Him, And delivers them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8 Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9 Oh, fear the LORD, you His saints! There is no want to those who fear Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10 The young lions lack and suffer hunger; But those who seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing<\/u>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hebrew word n\u0101\u1e07a\u1e6d <\/strong>means: to look, regard, to focus on, to dwell on intently, show regard to, pay attention to, consider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we are distracted by the world, we cannot seriously n\u0101\u1e07a\u1e6d <\/strong>THE LORD!  Enoch did not have the Old Testament or the New Testament to read the logos <\/em>Word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moses recorded by THE SPIRIT in Genesis chapter 5:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

21  Enoch lived sixty-five years, and begot Methuselah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

22 After he begot Methuselah, Enoch walked with God three hundred years, and had sons and daughters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

23 So all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

24 And Enoch walked with God<\/u><\/strong>; and he was not, for God took him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The name \u201cEnoch\u201d means \u201cdedicated\u201d.  The following provides a timeline:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Notice that Enoch lived during Adam\u2019s lifetime.  Enoch would have heard stories of Adam walking with GOD during the cool of the day.  Enoch heard the rhema Word and dedicated himself to do the same.  He was sixty-five when he began to walk with GOD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Genesis chapter 6:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8  But Noah found grace in the Eyes of the LORD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9 This is the genealogy of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God<\/u><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though Noah was born after Enoch\u2019s departure, his grandfather would have told him the stories of his great grandfather, Enoch.  Noah chose to walk uprightly as well.  Noah was a Godly man of integrity, without fault in his generation, and he lived close to God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abraham was born two years after the death of Noah.  However, Shem would have told Abraham about Noah\u2019s life as well as the details of the flood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Genesis chapter 12:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1  Now the LORD had said to Abram<\/u><\/strong>: “Get out of your country, From your family And from your father’s house, To a land that I will show you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 I will make you a great nation; I will bless you And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3 I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4 So Abram departed as the LORD had spoken to him<\/u><\/strong>, and Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abraham had committed himself to THE LORD as well.  In response, THE LORD spoke to him and directed his life in a similar way to that of Enoch and Noah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The commonality of all three was a relationship with Our Heavenly Father.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 4:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1  What then shall we say that Abraham our father has found according to the flesh?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3 For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness<\/u><\/strong>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you and I look up and focus on our relationship with FATHER, Jesus, and The Holy Spirit, our relationship will grow.  Focusing solely on the Covenant without the relationship, we will miss the point\u2026 and the blessing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
