Facts
- Adam saw up to his 7th grandchild, Lamech.
- From Adam to the death of Noah took at least 2000 years.
- Adam was about 600 years when Enoch was born
- Methuselah met all his ancestors alive and His child, Lamech died about 10 years before him.
- Except for Adam, Seth and Enoch Noah met all other ancestors on earth.
- Noah raised a family, built the ark and preached for a 100 years.
- Flood started the year Methuselah died.
- The average living age from Adam to Noah is about 850 in total. It was reduced to 120 by God which is about 14% of the average living age for within this 200-year duration.
- Methuselah died the year the flood began
- Enoch lived the shortest life of all and died shortly after Adam
Food for Thought
Against all these men, it was recorded that they were born, had children and died. Only Enoch and NNoah were exceptional. What will be written about you, if God decides to write a summary of your short time on earth? Will he records the hell-bound but earthly normal trend - birth, worked, and death - about you? Or would he have extra spice of a walk or intimacy with Him to add to your story?
Takeaway
The world needs more resolute men. Not men raised and sunken by every swing of trend. And I am praying to be one of them!
