These extended ages are often seen as indicative of the antediluvian (pre-Flood) world, where conditions may have been different, possibly contributing to longer life. The genealogies in Genesis serve to connect Adam to Noah, emphasizing the continuity of God's creation and the unfolding of His plan. Kenan, also spelled Cainan, is part of the line from Seth, Adam's son, which is significant as it leads to Noah and eventually to Jesus Christ, as noted in the genealogy of <a href="/luke/3-36.htm">Luke 3:36-38</a>. The longevity of these patriarchs underscores the early human experience and the gradual decline in lifespan post-Flood, reflecting changes in the world and human condition.<p><b>and then he died</b><br>This phrase is a recurring refrain in <a href="/genesis/5.htm">Genesis 5</a>, highlighting the certainty of death despite the long lifespans. It serves as a reminder of the consequences of sin introduced in <a href="/genesis/3.htm">Genesis 3</a>, where death entered the world through Adam's disobedience. The inevitability of death underscores the need for redemption, which is a central theme throughout the Bible. This pattern of life and death points forward to the hope of resurrection and eternal life through Jesus Christ, who conquers death. The genealogical record, with its repeated mention of death, contrasts with the account of Enoch, who "walked with God" and was taken by God, not experiencing death, foreshadowing the promise of eternal life for those who walk with God.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/k/kenan.htm">Kenan</a></b><br>Kenan is a descendant of Adam, specifically the great-grandson of Adam through Seth. He is part of the genealogy that leads to Noah, and his life is briefly mentioned in <a href="/bsb/genesis/5.htm">Genesis 5</a>, which outlines the lineage from Adam to Noah.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/g/genealogy_of_adam.htm">Genealogy of Adam</a></b><br>This chapter in Genesis provides a record of the generations from Adam to Noah, highlighting the longevity of the antediluvian patriarchs and the continuity of God's creation through these generations.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/a/antediluvian_period.htm">Antediluvian Period</a></b><br>This refers to the time before the Great Flood, characterized by the long lifespans of the patriarchs and a world that was increasingly turning away from God, leading to the eventual judgment through the flood.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_importance_of_legacy.htm">The Importance of Legacy</a></b><br>Kenan's life, though briefly mentioned, is part of a larger account that leads to the coming of Christ.
