1 | Flood account handed down through Shem? | Gen 11:10 | New Creature | 91795 | ||
From what can be learned from Bibical chronology, one can find that Shem, the son of Noah lived 600 years. The first 100 years of his life were spent before the flood, and then Shem continued living 500 years after the flood had passed. Also by following Bibical years, I find that Shem outlived Abraham, and Shem was alive even in Isaac and Jacob's days. What makes this so intresting, is the fact that Shem was one of only 8 people that witnessed the ark being built,the ungodliness of the human race before the flood, the taking of all the animals aboard the ark two by two, the rains descending until everyone that was not aboard the ark perished from the face of the earth. It must have been truly amazing to people like Abraham, and others to hear directly from Shem, the account of how the ark was built, about how all those species of animals and their food was taken aboard the ark. And to hear Shem speak about the cries of the ungodly people who drowned in the flood. And then, how after the flood, they began to repopulate the earth. Wouldn't it have been wonderful, if we would be able to read a more detailed account of what happened before, during and after the flood from people like Abraham and others who probably heard about it first hand from Shem himself. Maybe the reason why God had Shem, the Antediluvial patriarch continue to live 500 years even after the flood had passed. was so the post-flood people could learn in detail about the flood directly from only one of 8 survivors of the flood. Any thoughts from others? In His service New Creature |

2 | Flood account handed down through Shem? | Gen 11:10 | Pastor Glenn | 91796 | ||
New Creature, This is an excellent point. Noah and his sons all lived a very long time. This was plenty long enough to keep the world from forgetting everything from Adam until Abram. Imagine how different our country might be if Christopher Columbus, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and others were still alive today. Image how much demand there would be for them to teach at our universities and hold public office. Interesting. Pastor Glenn |

3 | Did Shem exit the Ark at 98, outlv Abrm? | Gen 11:10 | Pastor Glenn | 140352 | ||
Normally we just skip right past boring geneologies unless we need a sleep aid. But I find certain implications very interesting. I checked the lifetimes. Adam lived until Enoch was 308. I wanted to point out that Noah lived until Abraham was 60 and Shem (Abraham's ancestor) outlived Abraham to see Jacob's 50th birthday (I think I added right). The point is that living witnesses were always present to present "living epistles". Does anyone find this as interesting as I do? Hello? zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZ (....faint sound of crickets in background.......) Anybody there? Pastor Glenn |
