Bible Question (short): Did Shem exit the Ark at 98, outlv Abrm? |
Question (full): 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 |
