Enoch was born as the “seventh from Adam” (Jude 14) through the appointed seed of Seth (Genesis 4:25And 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.
See All...). However, there was another “seventh from Adam”. This man descended through the rejected line of Cain and his name was Lamech (Genesis 4:17-18 [17] And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch. [18] And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech.

See All...), Lamech has the distinction of being the first recorded bigamist (Genesis 5:19And Jared lived after he begat Enoch eight hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:
See All...) and the second recorded murderer (Genesis 5:23-24 [23] And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years: [24] And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.
See All...). In addition, whereas Enoch fathered Methuselah—the man with the oldest recorded human lifespan and the one whose death marked the coming of the flood; Lamech fathered three sons who became the founders of human civilization—in context, not necessarily a high honor. 

Lamech’s three sons were named Jabal, Jubal and Tubal-cain. Jabal (5:20) lived the life of a nomad by dwelling in tents and keeping cattle. The significance of what he did is not to be found in the domestication of animals since Abel kept sheep much earlier (Genesis 4:2And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
See All...). Therefore, his contribution must be found in having herds so large that he had to travel far for pasture and in his inventing of tents as portable dwelling places (they already had cities—Genesis 4:17And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.
See All...). This made possible the first requirement for civilization—the accumulation of wealth.  

Jubal (5:21) founded the musical profession through his introduction of the harp (string instruments) and the organ (wind instruments). He represents the pursuit of leisure which is made possible by the accumulation of wealth. Tubal-cain taught a guild of metalworkers (5:22). As a craftsman, he represents the specialization of labor which leads to an abundance of cheap goods for all and an opportunity for increased income and social status for the lower classes. These three conditions—accumulation of wealth, pursuit of leisure and specialization of labor—set the stage for the development of civilization. 

Why did the descendents of Cain and not of Seth establish the first civilization? Is it wrong to be civilized? Well, no. Many of the saints throughout scripture have certainly used their civilization to better do God's work. However, though civilization is not evil in and of itself, it consistently leads man to wickedness. Wealth and leisure lead to laziness and sin.

Even Sodom’s sins began with “pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness” (Ezekiel 16:49Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
See All...). Amos rightfully declared, “Woe to them that are at ease in Zion” (6:1). Because of their comfort, the Israelites “put far away the evil day” (v.3) and did not recognize that judgment was near. They spent their days lying “upon beds of ivory” (v.4), chanting “to the sound of the viol” (v.5), drinking “wine in bowls” (v.6) and anointing themselves “with the chief ointments” (v.6) instead of grieving for the affliction of their people (v.6). 

We are not commanded to totally remove ourselves from society, “for then must ye needs go out of the world” (1Corinthians 5:9-10 [9] I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators: [10] Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.
See All...). However, we are warned against loving the world (1John 2:15Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
See All...) or conforming ourselves to it (Romans 12:2And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
See All...). We are commanded to “come out from among them, and be ye separate” (2Corinthians 6:17Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
See All...). We are reminded that “whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God” (James 4:4Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
See All...). The message is clear. We are to stand apart from the wickedness of this world and refuse to follow the crowd. We must refuse to allow our lives to be absorbed by the culture of our world. We must go to Christ “without the camp” (Hebrews 13:13Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.
See All...) and refuse to “dwell in the tents of wickedness” (Psalm 84:10For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
See All...). Why should we seek the comfort and safety of this world’s tents when we can better please our God by sleeping in the open fields (2Samuel 11:11
See All...) under the divinely created stars?
