The line from Adam all the way to Noah was ten generations. If you write out the Hebrew meaning of each of the names from Adam to Noah it forms a prophetic statement that summarizes all of scripture!
If we stitch the word meanings together, it forms the following sentences:
1. Man appointed mortal sorrow (The fall of man).
2. The blessed God shall come down teaching (Torah given to Moses)
3. His death shall bring the despairing rest and comfort (death of Jesus and fulfillment of Matt 11:28-29)
This is a perfect summary of the bible and God's plan for salvation after the fall of man. To those who question if the bible is inspired by God, you'd have a hard time convincing me that some Hebrew scribes happened to invent these names thousands of years prior to Jesus!
Actually all the names in the genealogy from Adam to Jesus form prophetic sentences. If you'd like to learn more, watch this video:
