Man (humanity) is appointed mortal sorrow, but the blessed God shall come down teaching that His death shall bring the despairing comfort!”
This is a wonderful and clear statement of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, found in the first book of the Torah. It demonstrates that the entire Word of God points to the coming of our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus. It is a beautiful mark of the Holy Spirit, who authenticates the Word of God for us when we seek with all our hearts (and minds). And these are great lessons to teach, because they bolster our most Holy longing, which is the return of King Jesus as He brings the Kingdom of Heaven to this world.

Chuck Missler: Hidden Codes - Torah Points to YHWH:
Genesis 6
The Corruption of Mankind
6 Now it came about, when mankind began to multiply on the face of the land, and daughters were born to them, 2 that the sons of God saw that the daughters of mankind were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose. 3 Then the Lord said, “My Spirit will not remain with man forever, because he is also flesh; nevertheless his days shall be 120 years.” 4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of mankind, and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.
Jude 1:6-7
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jude+1%3A6-7&version=NASB
6 And angels who did not keep their own domain but abandoned their proper dwelling place, these He has kept in eternal restraints under darkness for the judgment of the great day, 7 just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, since they in the same way as these angels indulged in sexual perversion and went after strange flesh, are exhibited as an example in undergoing the punishment of eternal fire.
Genesis 6:5-13
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+6%3A5-13&version=NASB
5 Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of mankind was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of their hearts was only evil continually. 6 So the Lord was sorry that He had made mankind on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. 7 Then the Lord said, “I will wipe out mankind whom I have created from the face of the land; mankind, and animals as well, and crawling things, and the birds of the sky. For I am sorry that I have made them.” 8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.
9 These are the records of the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation. Noah walked with God. 10 And Noah fathered three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 Now the earth was corrupt in the sight of God, and the earth was filled with violence. 12 And God looked on the earth, and behold, it was corrupt; for humanity had corrupted its way upon the earth.
13 Then God said to Noah, “The end of humanity has come before Me; for the earth is filled with violence because of people; and behold, I am about to destroy them with the earth.
Genesis 7:1-5
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=genesis+7%3A1-5&version=NASB
The Flood
7 Then the Lord said to Noah, “Enter the ark, you and all your household, for you alone I have seen to be righteous before Me in this generation. 2 You shall take with you seven pairs of every clean animal, a male and his female; and two of the animals that are not clean, a male and his female; 3 also of the birds of the sky, seven pairs, male and female, to keep their offspring alive on the face of all the earth. 4 For after seven more days, I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights; and I will wipe out from the face of the land every living thing that I have made.” 5 So Noah acted in accordance with everything that the Lord had commanded him.
Genesis 5
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=genesis+5&version=NASB
Descendants of Adam
5 This is the book of the generations of Adam. On the day when God created man, He made him in the likeness of God. 2 He created them male and female, and He blessed them and named them “mankind” on the day when they were created.
3 When Adam had lived 130 years, he fathered a son in his own likeness, according to his image, and named him Seth. 4 Then the days of Adam after he fathered Seth were eight hundred years, and he fathered other sons and daughters. 5 So all the days that Adam lived were 930 years, and he died.
6 Now Seth lived 105 years, and fathered Enosh. 7 Then Seth lived 807 years after he fathered Enosh, and he fathered other sons and daughters. 8 So all the days of Seth were 912 years, and he died.
9 Now Enosh lived ninety years, and fathered Kenan. 10 Then Enosh lived 815 years after he fathered Kenan, and he fathered other sons and daughters. 11 So all the days of Enosh were 905 years, and he died.
12 Now Kenan lived seventy years, and fathered Mahalalel. 13 Then Kenan lived 840 years after he fathered Mahalalel, and he fathered other sons and daughters. 14 So all the days of Kenan were 910 years, and he died.
15 Now Mahalalel lived sixty-five years, and fathered Jared. 16 Then Mahalalel lived 830 years after he fathered Jared, and he fathered other sons and daughters. 17 So all the days of Mahalalel were 895 years, and he died.
18 Now Jared lived 162 years, and fathered Enoch. 19 Then Jared lived eight hundred years after he fathered Enoch, and he fathered other sons and daughters. 20 So all the days of Jared were 962 years, and he died.
21 Now Enoch lived sixty-five years, and fathered Methuselah. 22 Then Enoch walked with God three hundred years after he fathered Methuselah, and he fathered other sons and daughters. 23 So all the days of Enoch were 365 years. 24 Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.
25 Now Methuselah lived 187 years, and fathered Lamech. 26 Then Methuselah lived 782 years after he fathered Lamech, and he fathered other sons and daughters. 27 So all the days of Methuselah were 969 years, and he died.
28 Now Lamech lived 182 years, and fathered a son. 29 And he named him Noah, saying, “This one will give us comfort from our work and from the hard labor of our hands caused by the ground which the Lord has cursed.” 30 Then Lamech lived 595 years after he fathered Noah, and he fathered other sons and daughters. 31 So all the days of Lamech were 777 years, and he died.
32 Now after Noah was five hundred years old, Noah fathered Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Hebrew name meaning Adam
https://www.wildbranch.org/teachings/word-studies/85adam.html
The beginning of this search starts with the first man, Adam, the name used to represent all mankind. You will generally find the meaning of most words in Scripture in their verbal form somewhere in the vicinity of the verse in which you find the word you are defining. The word 'adam (אדם) means earthy or of the earth. Hence Bere’shiyt 2:7 tells us that man was formed from the ground.
1 Corinthians 15:47-48
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Corinthians+15%3A47-48&version=NASB
The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. 48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
Hebrew name meaning Seth
https://www.wildbranch.org/teachings/word-studies/86seth.html
The name Seth is from the Hebrew verbal root shiyth (שית) which means to appoint or to place.
Bere’shiyt - Genesis 4:25
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+4%3A25&version=NASB
And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
Hebrew name meaning Enosh
https://www.wildbranch.org/teachings/word-studies/87enosh.html
The fourth from Adam, four being the number of the earth and creation, is Enosh. Enosh is generally translated as man in the text of the Tanakh, but etymologically means man in his weak, desperate and mortal state. It speaks of man's attempt at life in his own strength. The word comes from the Hebrew root ’anas (אנש). Here are a few examples of this word in its verbal root.
Shemu’el Bet - 2 Samuel 12:15
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Samuel+12%3A15&version=NASB
And Nathan departed unto his house. And YHVH struck the child that Uriah's wife bare unto David, and it was very sick.
Yesha’yahu - Isaiah 17:11
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah+17%3A11&version=NASB
In the day shalt thou make thy plant to grow, and in the morning shalt thou make thy seed to flourish: but the harvest shall be a heap in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow.
Hebrew name meaning Kenan
https://www.wildbranch.org/teachings/word-studies/88kenan.html
Most of the Hebrew meanings of the names of the generations from Adam to Noach can be found in a Strong's Concordance or most books on Hebrew names. However, there are two names in Bere’shiyt (Genesis) chapter five that can only be found in a good Hebrew etymological dictionary. The name of Kenan is one of those. The name qeynan (קינן) can mean to possess and it can mean to mourn, lament or sorrow after.
Hebrew name meaning Mahalalel
Mahalalel means "praise of God" in Hebrew. In the Old Testament, Mahalalel was the great-great-grandson of Adam and great-great-great-grandfather of Noah.
Hebrew name meaning Jared
https://www.wildbranch.org/teachings/word-studies/90jared.html
One of the children of Mahalal'el, we assume he had more than one, was named Jared. This word in Hebrew comes from the verbal root yarad (ירד), and means to descend or as it is most commmonly translated "to go down". In its verbal root it means "he came/went down". This word is also commonly associated with death and mortality, as it is used to express going down to sheol.
Hebrew name meaning Enoch
https://www.wildbranch.org/teachings/word-studies/91enoch.html
The son of Jared in the KJV is called Enoch. This is a very interesting transliteration. I would suggest a very poor transliteration. The Hebrew name here is Chanok. This word is from the root chanak (חנך), and means to train, teach or dedicate to establish a habit. This same word is where we get the festival of Chanukkah. It is also found in the oft quoted Proverb:
Mishlei - Proverbs 22:6
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs+22%3A6&version=NASB
Train up [chanak] a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
Hebrew name meaning Methuselah
https://www.wildbranch.org/teachings/word-studies/92methuselah.html
The son of Enoch, who walked with God, was named Metushalach (מתושלח). The name given to this son is not happenstance, and was not chosen in a baby names book. Given the ages of the sons of Adam to Noach, we know that the flood came when Metushalach died. This son's name is a combination of two very familiar Hebrew words. The first part is mut (מות), the word for death. The second part is shalach (שלח), the word for sending or bringing forth. The word is in the masculine and means "his death shall bring forth".
Hebrew name meaning Lamech
https://www.wildbranch.org/teachings/word-studies/93lamech.html
As it turns out, the name of Methuselah's son is rather spurious. The root meaning of his name does not appear in Scripture: only his name appears in the text. Lamech is the Hebrew word lamak (למך). The meaning of this word, according to some linguists, may be wrapped up in the circumstances surrounding its first appearance in the generations of Cain.
Bere’shiyt - Genesis 4:23-24
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+4%3A23-24&version=NASB
And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt. If Cain shall be avenged seven fold, truly Lamech seventy and seven fold.
Some see the meaning of Lamech as leading or having power and others see it as desperate or despairing and trace in English word to lament from this Hebrew word. Personally, I see the association of desperation in the fact that Lamech was the first to have more than one wife. All right, I admit, that is not very scholarly. As a side note, I find it interesting that the Lamech of Cain's descendance was to be avenged seventy and seven fold, and the Lamech of Seth's descendance lived seven hundred seventy and seven years.
Hebrew name meaning Noah
https://www.wildbranch.org/teachings/word-studies/94noah.html
The last of our fathers listed in the genealogy of Seth in Bere’shiyt (Genesis) chapter five is Noah. Noah comes from the word noach (נוח) in Hebrew and means rest or comfort. You can find Noah's name in many places in the Tanakh.
The Geneology of Genesis Chapter 5:
Adam --- Man
Seth --- (is) appointed
Enosh --- mortal
Kenan --- sorrow
Mahalalel --- (but) the blessed God
Jared --- shall come down
Enoch --- teaching
Methuselah --- his death shall bring
Lamech --- the despairing
Noah --- rest
Man (humanity) is appointed mortal sorrow, but the blessed God shall come down teaching that His death shall bring the despairing comfort!”
This is a wonderful and clear statement of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, found in the first book of the Torah. It demonstrates that the entire Word of God points to the coming of our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus. It is a beautiful mark of the Holy Spirit, who authenticates the Word of God for us when we seek with all our hearts (and minds).
