These extended ages are often seen as indicative of a pre-Flood world where conditions were different, possibly more conducive to longer life. This period is characterized by a lack of the environmental and genetic decay that would later shorten human lifespans. Theologically, these long lives allowed for the rapid population growth necessary to fulfill God's command to "be fruitful and multiply" (<a href="/genesis/1-28.htm">Genesis 1:28</a>). Enosh, the grandson of Adam, represents the continuation of the godly line through Seth, contrasting with the line of Cain. His long life would have allowed him to pass down the knowledge of God and the early history of humanity to many generations.<p><b>and then he died</b><br>The phrase "and then he died" is a recurring refrain in <a href="/genesis/5.htm">Genesis 5</a>, emphasizing the certainty of death as a consequence of sin, as stated in <a href="/genesis/2-17.htm">Genesis 2:17</a> and <a href="/romans/5-12.htm">Romans 5:12</a>. Despite the long lifespans, death is inevitable, underscoring the reality of the Fall and the need for redemption. This pattern highlights the contrast between the mortality of man and the eternal nature of God. It also sets the stage for the hope of resurrection and eternal life found in Jesus Christ, who conquers death (<a href="/1_corinthians/15-22.htm">1 Corinthians 15:22</a>). Enosh's death, like those of his ancestors and descendants, points to the need for a Savior who would ultimately defeat death and offer eternal life to humanity.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/enosh.htm">Enosh</a></b><br>The grandson of Adam and the son of Seth.
