Bible Question: Who was the oldest man in scripture and what was average life span. How were their years calculated compared to ours today. A co worker believes the life span was only 30 years, and that you can't take what the bible says about age as true. |
Bible Answer: Methueselah was the oldest man. Bit of advice, if God could send Jesus Christ as God and man,which is the ultimate miracle then there is no problem believing that men lived to be 900 years old and that their age then went down to 120 years as the Bible says; when the Bible makes plain sense seek no other sense or it becomes nonsene. Apply this to all numbers in the Bible except where the prophets are indicating that the numbers are allegorical. Creation was in six days, the Great Tribulation will take 7 years, the temple in heaven in Revelation has exact measurements as does the city of Jerusalem, you see the prophecies of the birth of Jesus said it would take exactly 400 years which it did and Israel was prophesied to go into captivity for 70 years which it did, and Israel was prophesied to go into captivity for 400 years which it did. Since every single prohecy in the Bible has come true so far and since every single prophecy with numbers has come true so far, then numbers are real and are not figurative, but literal. |
