Blessed are counted, and they bear the name of the Lord. Holy is his name.( Luke 1:49) The Spirit gives us the connection of the name with works. They call on the name of the Lord and faith is the causative agent. We trace here the family of God under the everlasting covenant as distinct from those who belong to the outer darkness.
And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
26And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of theLord.
The seed in itself is the word of God in our hearts. It has to have a body as it pleases the Lord. This explains a duration of time. So the 'then' refers to 'in the beginning' in Ge.1:1 and John 1:1
