  This is something all of you on your own can very easily do and see with your own eyes. I personally heard of those getting codes or looking for secret stuff mixing or like crossword puzzles etc, in which just by default can come up with things.

  All hebrew names have a meaning. Few months back when studying Genesis, I was questioning things which didn't seem to make sense in some of the geneologies.

  Anyway......without what I say, you can just google/wiki the names of Adam to Noah and the 'meaning' of them. Then the names of Adam through Cain's line and lamech and his wives. And Adam to Jesus in Matthew. They all contain a clear message. Start with God (we know what God means) but that is the starting point.

  As for "why", I do not know. I am also not the first to have done this, I am not sure how long or how new it is.

  The Gospel is in the fifth chapter of Genesis :)

  As for "why", I do not know.

  Revelation 13:8 (New International Version)

  8 All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the book of life belonging to the Lamb that was slain from the creation of the world. [ a ]

  Footnotes:

  1. Revelation 13:8 Or written from the creation of the world in the book of life belonging to the Lamb that was slain

  1 Peter 1:18-21 (New International Version)

  18 For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your forefathers, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. 20 He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake. 21 Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and glorified him, and so your faith and hope are in God.

  Blessings,

  Leolaia

  All hebrew names have a meaning.

  But this meaning is often imposed on them by interpreters divining some "hidden meaning", rather than arising from the name's actual derivation and usage.

  Leolaia - I don't understand hebrew or aramaic, but from looking at how the 'meaning' of the names is done, seems that it's from the letters and some may have a few interpretations. A few may have none.

  But for example, if in bible name leo-la-ia leo-lion la- me/itself - ia- shout/voice (so name could mean one with a lions voice, the 'final' answer is up to interpretation, but many parts consistantly in ALL names the components are consistant, it's just what does the combination mean.

  Try it, you'll see what I'm talking about.

  Kinda makes me wanna learn the language.

  EOM,

  You are using the verb "prophesy" when you should be using the noun "prophecy". If you are looking for "secret meanings", maybe you should first brush up on the plain, obvious and simple meaning of English words.

  If there were messages in their created genealogies, these were plainly understood by their immediate intended audience, mostly to prove a claimed legitimacy to their own generation.

  Each writer was directly addressing their own immediate community, with the intent of effecting immediate change in behaviour and attitude. A kind of propaganda, if you wish. But they were not writing to us, they were not even conscious of us. They were not giving us a hidden message.

  History provides you with a plain and clear message: at every stage through the ages, some people have thought they could detect messages addressed to their times and they used calculations from the Bible that just happened to conclude in their own era. And you know what the plain message of history gives us? They have a track record of zero, zilch. Every one of them has been wrong. And when people don't heed that plain and clear message provided by history, they will, in great frenzy, repeat the errors of the past.
