hat’s in a name? In most western cultures, parents name their children after many different reasons. Perhaps to honor a loved one, or someone famous, or simply to give their child their own unique identity. In the times of the Old Testament, Hebrew names carried more than just a phonetic grouping of letters that gave a pleasant sound, it carried a meaning. For example, Genesis chapter five gives the ten generations from Adam to Noah. In Chuck Missler’s book “Cosmic Codes,”1 he translated the names in chronological order into English. “Adam ‐ Seth ‐ Enosh ‐ Cainan ‐ Mahalalel ‐ Jared ‐ Enoch ‐ Methuselah ‐ Lamech ‐ Noah” was translated as “Man - (is) Appointed - Mortal Sorrow; (but) The Blessed God - Shall come down - Teaching - His death shall bring - The Despairing - Comfort or Rest.”
