the Book of Genesis – EPISODE 9 GENESIS Chapters 4 & 5

This episode of our Genesis Bible Study examines Chapters 4 and 5, tracing the early generations of humanity after the Fall. We revisit the story of Cain and Abel to reflect on sin, humility, worship, and the consequences of disordered desire. The session then turns to the genealogies of Genesis, uncovering their theological purpose and the repeated emphasis on humanity being made in the image and likeness of God, even after sin has entered the world. We also address the question of long ages in the text and what they reveal about life, blessing, and divine intention. The episode concludes with a reflection on Enoch, whose faithful walk with God stands as a powerful sign of hope and communion in a broken world.
