What Does Luke 3:37 Mean?

These are the long-lived fathers before the flood. Mathusala, Methuselah, lived more years than any man on record, and his father Enoch walked with God, and he was not, for God took him.

In the world's earliest generations stood a man whose whole biography is fellowship with God. The genealogy pauses, in effect, to remember that walking with God has been possible from the beginning, and that God draws near to those who draw near to him.
