Genesis 4:26 "At that time, men began to call on the name of the LORD."
Matthew 4:19 "'Come follow me,' Jesus said."
Matthew 4:21 "Jesus called them."
I was struck by the opposite actions in these verses. In Genesis, after the fall and after Cain has killed Abel, God is apparently no longer visiting among his people, and so men feel the need to call upon his name. However, in Matthew, it is God who is doing the calling, God incarnate, come down to visit his people.
In Genesis we recognize the problem, in Matthew God does something about it.

sorry for not commenting. I did read this a while back.
Very interesting, when one writes about things that another (me) hasn't even thought about. I like your writings! keep it up! when you can...
