The first chapters of this book can be the most challenging to read. With the on-going lists of ancestors the text provides not obvious stories. But the name after name of people all hoping to make some sort of connection with God does offer some encouragement. Generations of people provide evidence that they trusted in the God of Israel. Some displayed greater faith, others rebelled against God. But the lists of generation display some names that are mentioned no where else in scripture. Maybe this is a picture of the lamb's book of life.
