Name meanings in Genesis

For those Christians who have never seen it before, this will be very interesting . . .

In Genesis Chapter 10, we find the names of the first 10 generations from Adam to Noah. As in English, Hebrew names have meanings. Below are the names and their corresponding meanings:

Adam = Man
Seth = Appointed
Enosh = Mortal
Kenan = Sorrow
Mahalalel = Blessed God
Jared = Shall come down
Enoch = Teaching
Methuselah = His death shall bring
Lamech = Despairing
Noah = Rest

Now, something fascinating happens when you put those meanings together (with a few connecting words) to form a sentence. We get:

"Man (is) appointed mortal sorrow; (but) the Blessed God shall come down teaching (that) His death shall bring (the) despairing rest."

That's the Gospel message hidden within a genealogy in Genesis. Written over one thousand years before Christ's birth.

Co-incidence or the hand of God?

This was seen posted by Randy Ruggles on Facebook. I am not sure if he wrote it after researching or just shared it but I wanted to give credit where due. I didn't write this but it is very surreal.
