Enoch
Enoch is a significant figure in biblical history, known for his close relationship with God. He is the seventh generation from Adam and is noted for his righteousness. Enoch "walked with God," a phrase indicating a life of faith and obedience. This is further emphasized in Hebrews 11:5, which states that Enoch was taken up to heaven without experiencing death, a unique occurrence that prefigures the rapture of the church. Enoch's life is a type of Christ in his ascension and in his role as a prophet, as seen in Jude 1:14-15, where he prophesies about the coming judgment.

Methuselah
Methuselah is renowned for his long lifespan, living 969 years, the longest recorded in the Bible. His name is often interpreted to mean "when he dies, it shall be sent," which some scholars connect to the timing of the flood, suggesting that Methuselah's death coincided with the onset of the deluge. This interpretation underscores God's patience and the impending judgment, themes that resonate throughout scripture. Methuselah's life bridges the antediluvian world and the post-flood era, highlighting the continuity of God's plan through generations.

Lamech
Lamech, the father of Noah, is a figure who connects the pre-flood patriarchs to the new world after the flood. His name means "powerful" or "strong," and he is noted for his prophetic declaration about his son Noah in Genesis 5:29, where he speaks of comfort and relief from the curse of the ground. This prophecy points to Noah's role in God's redemptive plan, as Noah becomes a type of Christ, bringing salvation through the ark. Lamech's life and words reflect the hope of redemption and the continuation of God's covenant promises.

Noah
Noah is a central figure in the biblical narrative, known for his righteousness and obedience in a corrupt world. He is chosen by God to build the ark and preserve life through the flood, a cataclysmic event that serves as both judgment and a new beginning. Noah's story is rich with typology, as he prefigures Christ in his role as a savior and mediator. The ark itself is a symbol of salvation, providing refuge from judgment. Noah's covenant with God after the flood, marked by the rainbow, signifies God's mercy and the promise of redemption, themes that are fulfilled in the New Testament through Jesus Christ.
