The “Seventy and Sevenfold” numbers lamented by Cain’s murderous descendant Lamech, referred to a redemptive historical period of waiting time spanning 10 lineages enfolded with 7 generations in each. A complete genealogical plan of 70 generations which began with Lamech’s lineal counterpart Enoch, Seth’s righteous descendant, and ended with Jesus of Nazareth.
Jesus was well acquainted with the plan of redemption that unfolded itself in the genealogies. When he divulged to Peter the importance of forgiving seventy times seven (70 generations found in 10 complete lineages comprising 7 generation) he was telling him that redemption could only be found in Him the sacrificial Lamb and Testator of the earth’s inheritance and of eternal life. Our beloved Savior, Jesus Christ, was prophetically and amazingly born at the very end of those 70 generations!
“And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.“ (Heb. 9:15-17)
