Bible Note: Hi Brad, Couldn't it have been 120 years since the Bible doesn’t have to be progressive? 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. Once man’s flesh is destroyed his residence on this earth ceases. Man’s soul is eternal but his flesh subjects him to an earthy state. By God sending the flood, 120 years from this pronouncement, He would destroy man’s flesh and commit man's soul to an imprisonment. 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. Many try to say that the verse in Gen. says that a person can only live to be 120 years old, which has been proven false because people have lived longer then that and God doesn’t make mistakes. It’s only several verses late that God tells Noah how to prepare the ark as the provision to escape the flood. I personally think, as result, Noah was 120 years building the ark. CDBJ |
