Numerical Expositions: Genesis 4:18

And unto Enoch was born Irad:  and Irad begat Mehujael:  and Mehujael begat Methusael:  and Methusael begat Lamech.

- Gen. 4:18 (KJV)

In this verse, the text gives the rest of the lineage of Cain.  Starting from the beginning from Cain's perspective, the lineage goes in this generational timeline:  Adam, Cain, Enoch, Irad, Mehujael, Methusael, and Lamech.  Lamech is the seventh in the this lineage.  In verse 15, God declares in a mystery who would kill Cain because vengeance would be seven times more.  Lamech would be the one to murder Cain.

Numerical Breakdown:  (4) Stay in God's Word in order to produce.  (9) Overturn evil in order to produce.  (1) Stay in the anointing in order to produce.  (8) Choose to have a new beginning in God in order to produce.
