## Resource

We’ve been studying Enoch, and a couple weeks ago we started into the juiciest chapter: Enoch 6. This chapter is about when the Sons of God came down to earth, a story we’ve revisited countless times on the podcast. And Enoch 6:6 contained this detail: “And they were in all two hundred; who descended ⌈in the days⌉ of Jared on the summit of Mount Hermon” We actually read about this guy Jared in Genesis 5. He was actually Enoch’s daddy. Genesis 5:18 When Jared had lived 162 years, he fathered Enoch. So Enoch’s book told us the Sons of God came down to earth in the days of Jared. And what does the name Jared mean? “Shall Come Down.” Wait a minute. Jared means “shall come down.” And the fallen Sons of God came down to earth in the days of Jared. That’s…quite a coincidence. What is the connection between names and what was going on during the antediluvian period? And could understanding some of the other names of pre-flood people perhaps give us some clues about what was going on in the pre-flood world? Because I find this to be weird, and I’d like to explore why it’s in the Bible. Turn to Genesis 5, and let’s get weird. Sign up for the weekly newsletter!
