1 | How many yrs was promised to us to live? | Gen 6:3 | Sir Pent | 116549 | ||
My answer......................................................... Welcome to the forum Escottl, I think that the verse you are looking for is Genesis 6:3. It speaks of God lowering the normal lifespan of humans to 120 years. Although this is shorter than some of the lifespans of the first people, it is still longer than the "three scores" that you mentioned, which would only be 60 years. |

Genesis 6:3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. I think this verse might be explaining that God is only going to let things continue on earth for another 120 years before He destroys mankind by the great flood because no flesh can survive the wrath that’s coming. 1 Peter 3:20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. I think the Spirit striving in Gen. 6:3, corresponds with the longsuffering of God waiting, in 1 Pet. 3:20. There have been people, on record, who have lived past 120 years, which would be impossible if God was referring to an age limit in Gen. 6:3. My two cents worth, CDBJ |
