In our theology, legacy is covenantal. It's what we choose to remember, record, and pass on.

died. That's all it is. But these chapters aren't

really just about who begat who. They're about what it means to inherit not only blood,

but belief. They trace the transmission of many things, including the emergence of prophetic authority

and of the courage of a guy named Enoch whose reluctance to speak

really becomes this catalyst for the creation of Zion. So today we'll explore how this section
