While i was Studying Today the spirit lead me to discovered how the oldest Man in the bible Died (Methuselah).
Genesis 5
21 When Enoch had lived 65 years, he became the father of Methuselah. 22 After he became the father of Methuselah, Enoch walked faithfully with God 300 years and had other sons and daughters. 23 Altogether, Enoch lived a total of 365 years. 24 Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away.
25 When Methuselah had lived 187 years, he became the father of Lamech.
26 After he became the father of Lamech, Methuselah lived 782 years and had other sons and daughters. 27 Altogether, Methuselah lived a total of 969 years, and then he died.
28 When Lamech had lived 182 years, he had a son. 29 He named him Noah[c] and said, “He will comfort us in the labor and painful toil of our hands caused by the ground the Lord has cursed. ” 30 After Noah was born, Lamech lived 595 years and had other sons and daughters. 31 Altogether, Lamech lived a total of 777 years, and then he died.
Genesis 6
11 Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight and was full of violence. 12 God saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways. 13 So God said to Noah, “I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth. 14 So make yourself an ark of cypress[c] wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out.
Now let me take you further....
Genesis 7
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, on the seventeenth day of the second month —on that day all the springs of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened. 12 And rain fell on the earth forty days and forty nights.
Note >>>>>>>
Now take note of the age of these
Genesis 5: 25 When Methuselah had lived 187 years, he became the father of Lamech.
28 When Lamech had lived 182 years, he had a son, Noah
Calculation ..... The age of Methuselah when Noah was born = the age of Methuselah when he gave birth to Lamech + age of Lamech when he gave birth to Noah
Answer...... 369years
So Methuselah was 369 years when Noah was born... okay
Let us move further...
Genesis 7
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, on the seventeenth day of the second month —on that day all the springs of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened. 12 And rain fell on the earth forty days and forty nights
Calculation ......>>>> 600 years of Noah when God destroyed the earth + age of Methuselah when Noah was Born
==== 969 Years
Genesis 5
27 Altogether, Methuselah lived a total of 969 years, and then he died.
End of Discussion .. I thank You Holly Spirit ....
May the Desire of Almighty God be fulfilled in Life.. May we Not Live like Methuselah without any achievement of the Purpose of God for our Life ... Amen
I am sure Methuselah could have lived more if not God destroyed the Earth with Flood....
Even Lamech the father of Noah died 7 years before the flood ...

relax brother.. RELAX! With all due respect. The bible didn't specify the kind of life Methuselah lived, by the way, God is a righteous God. What if Methuselah Died few days before the flood started? Can you oppose that? What if he died few hours before the Flood Began? still you wont be able to prove that. I strongly disbelieve Methuselah Died in the flood.
ReplyDeleteN.B
He was the oldest person to have lived ever. If God didn't love Methuselah, He wont live that long to make a life time history.
You are entitle to your own opinion but one thing you should know is that everyone is subject to God opinion ...
ReplyDeleteGenesis 8
New International Version (NIV)
8 But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and the livestock that were with him in the ark, and he sent a wind over the earth, and the waters receded. 2 Now the springs of the deep and the floodgates of the heavens had been closed, and the rain had stopped falling from the sky. 3 The water receded steadily from the earth. At the end of the hundred and fifty days the water had gone down, 4 and on the seventeenth day of the seventh month the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat. 5 The waters continued to recede until the tenth month, and on the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains became visible.
let us go further
13 By the first day of the first month of Noah’s six hundred and first year, the water had dried up from the earth. Noah then removed the covering from the ark and saw that the surface of the ground was dry. 14 By the twenty-seventh day of the second month the earth was completely dry.
so my brother it could have been coincident that all these happened abi!
