Drink More Ovaltine!

In the movie The Christmas Story there is a scene where Ralphie finally receives his Little Orphan Annie Decoder in the mail, rushes into the house, goes into the bathroom to decode the SUPER SECRET message that he has been waiting to unveil for a long time. Welp, little Ralphie is severely disappointed when he learns the decoded message is "Drink More Ovaltine". Can we say "dagger"? I think so.

But great news today everyone!!!! Last night, Emilee, my amazing small group leader, decoded part of Genesis... no she didn't have a little gold decoder like Ralphie... no you won't be disappointed when i reveal this awesomeness... and no you don't have to lock yourself in the bathroom to figure it out. Ok, so throughout the Old Testament, there are often chapters that solely talk about genealogy.. as in this dude was the father of this brah, and this brah was the father of this kid, etc etc. While these chapters are sometimes hard to get through, they are really important because they point to the bloodline of Jesus... AND if you look up the literal Hebrew meaning of each name... A SPECIAL AWESOME AND EXCITING MESSAGE is revealed.

Just look at Adam’s bloodline (Adam also had blood line through Cain and Abel, but the one below is the one that eventually led to Jesus)

Name	Literal Meaning of Name
Adam	man
Seth	appointed
Enosh	mortal man
Kenan	sorrow
Mahalalel	the blessed God
Jared	shall come down
Enoch	instructing that
Methuselah	His death shall bring
Lamech	despairing
Noah	comfort/rest.

Then add “And,” "but", "of", "the", "is/are" as mere connector words. And you get.. "Man [is] appointed mortal sorrow, [but] the blessed God shall come down [and] teach. His death shall bring the despairing comfort and rest."

It's a secret message foreshadowing the coming of Jesus!!!!!!!! For more info about Jesus go here
