The first four chapters of Genesis we find God and the Lord walking and working  together. The first glimpse of my “Billism” comes when Moses writes of the birth of Cain.

Eve states  the Lord gave her Cain,  he brought an offering to the Lord, the Lord rejected the offering.   

Cain left the presence of the Lord, the Lord promised  protection.

Eve later states God gave her Seth,  then Enos, that is when men began to call apon the Lord.

Chapter 5 we begin to see the generations of man, we will look at the interaction of God, The Lord and man.

First stop:  Genesis 5:21-24
King James Version (KJV)
“And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah:  And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:  And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years:  And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.”

The first instance of man pleasing  God.  Revelation 4:11 “Tells we were created for Gods pleasure.”   Enoch is alive in bodily form in heaven today, because  he had this testimony, “he believed God is and is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him”

Next stop we meet :  Genesis 5:28-29
King James Version (KJV)
“And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and begat a son:  And he called his name Noah, saying, This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the Lord hath cursed.”

Genesis 5:32
King James Version (KJV)
“And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth.”

Chapter 6 begins the story  of Noah.  He interacts and obeys both the Lord and God.
