WHAT JESUS SAID IN THE BIBLE

GENESIS  CHAPTER  6 6:4 > Some hold that these "sons of God" were the "angels which kept not their first estate" ( JUDE  6 ). It is asserted that the title is in the Old Testament exclusively used of angels. But this is an error ( ISAIAH  43:6 ). Angels are spoken of in a sexless way. No female angels are mentioned in Scriptures, and we are expressly told that marriage is unknown among angels ( MATTHEW  22:30 ). The uniform Hebrew and Christian interpretation has been that verse 2 marks the breaking down of the separation between the godly line of Seth and godless line of Cain, and so the failure of the testimony to Jehovah committed to the line of Seth ( GENESIS  4:26 ). For apostasy there is no remedy but judgment ( ISAIAH  1:2__7,  24__25;  HEBREWS  6:4__8;  10:26__31 ). Noah, "a preacher of righteousness," is given 120 years, but he won no convert, and the judgment predicted by his great-grandfather fell ( JUDE  14__15;  GENESIS  7:11 ). 6:9

GENESIS  CHAPTER  5 5:1  > Adam, as the natural head of the race ( LUKE  3:38 ), is a contrasting type of Christ, the Head of the new creation. See ROMANS  5:14;  1  CORINTHIANS  15:21__22,  45__47. 5:22  > Enoch, "translated that he should not see death" ( HEBREWS  11:5 ) before the judgment of the Flood, is a type of those saints who are to be translated before the apocalyptic judgments ( 1  THESSALONIANS  4:14__17 ). Noah, left on the earth, but preserved through the judgment of the Flood, is a type of the Jewish people, who will be kept through the apocalyptic judgments ( JEREMIAH  30:5__9;  66:20__22;  REVELATION  21:1 ).

GENESIS  CHAPTER  4 4:1  > Cain ( "acquisition" ) is a type of the mere man of the earth. His religion was destitute of any adequate sense of sin, or need of atonement. This religious type is described in 2  Peter  2. Seven things are said of him: ( 1 ) he worships in self-will 2 ) is angry with God; ( 3 ) refuses to bring a sin-offering; ( 4 ) murders his brother; ( 5 ) lies to God; ( 6 ) becomes a vagabond; ( 7 ) is, nevertheless, the object of the divine solicitude. 4:2  > Abel ( "exhalation," or, "that which ascends" ) is a type of the spiritual man. His sacrifice, in which atoning blood was shed ( HEBREWS  9:22 ), was therefore at once his confession of sin and the expression of his faith in the interposition of a substitute ( HEBREWS  11: ).  4:4  > Type of Christ, the Lamb of God, the most constant type of the suffering Messiah__"the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world" ( JOHN  1:29 ). A lamb fitly symbolizes
