The Seventy-Seven Flame is a visionary and mystical exploration of one of Scripture's most enigmatic figures-Lamech of Genesis 4-and the hidden arc of redemption woven through his violent song. Drawing from the Hebrew Masoretic Text, the Septuagint, ancient Jewish midrashim, and the writings of the Early Church Fathers, this theological journey moves from primeval vengeance to the Eucharistic mercy of Christ, the seventy-seventh generation from Adam (Luke 3). In the narrative voice of Ansgar de ngerfulla, a mystic-witness shaped by sorrow and wonder, each chapter unfolds as a meditation on justice, blindness, genealogy, and transfiguration. With echoes from Origen, Augustine, the Zohar, and the Didache, the book uncovers the deep symbolic meaning behind numbers, names, and wounds. This is not just a study-it is a prayerful vision of how divine mercy rewrites human violence, and how the ancient chant of blood becomes the quiet flame of resurrection.
