witness of ten

Every Hebrew name derives from a Hebrew root word: Adam is from the root adam, meaning man. Seth is from the root seth, appointed. And so on, for ten generations as read in Genesis 5. Ten Names, set apart, in sequence. Adam, Seth, Enosh, Kenan, Mahalalel, Jared, Enoch, Methusaleh, Lamech, Noah. "Man - appointed - mortal - sorrow - the praise of/blessed God - descends - to dedicate/teach - a man speared/a man who is the branch - for as such/his humiliation - brings peace/rest."

"Man is appointed mortal sorrow. But the praise of God descends to dedicate a man who is the Branch, a man spear-pierced, for through his humiliation he brings us peace and rest."

The late bible teacher and speaker Dr Chuck Missler (d. 2018) of Koinonia House Ministries brought this root word discovery to light in his August 2000 Personal Update newsletter and radio program. Since then, many have been fascinated by it; others deride it as contrived gibberish.

This study takes up the challenge, by following the same explicit pattern of that precedent: Every instance in the Hebrew Scriptures where ten names are distinctly grouped together, a similarly startling message should emerge from the root word meanings, as read in exact sequence of appearance. And so from the very next ten name genealogy found in Genesis 11, from Noah's son Shem (root word meaning - name) to the Hebrew patriarch Abram (exalted father), the words coalesce into the following message:

"My Name is a Wall. Petition from across the divide, and a Friend will embrace you, breathing out in power a Guide for the wanderers from the Exalted Father."

Seven sets of messages, eleven total, are here revealed, spread throughout the Hebrew Scriptures. Each affirm a major theme found in the narrative of the Bible and at the same time relate directly to the named characters and particular story within which they are embedded. 

For what purpose are these messages sublimated into the ten name fabric? They act as a signature of the Divine Author himself, who inspired the writing over generations. See for yourself, and judge. Are you a skeptic? Is it just gibberish? Or is there something to it?
