God created men and women to be like himself. He gave them his blessing and called them human beings. This is a list of the descendants of Adam, the first man: When Adam was one hundred thirty, he had a son who was just like him, and he named him Seth. Adam had more children and died at the age of nine hundred thirty.
Genesis 5:1-5
According to Genesis Chapter 5 from the day God began to number the years of Adam’s life until the Great Flood was 1656 years! Noah was born in 1056 and died in 2006 - of course these dates are from the day when men began to die!
With a pencil and a piece of notebook paper you can clearly figure these dates from Genesis 5!
This chapter also says that Mathusaleh, the man who lived longer than anyone else, died the year of the flood! It does not indicate whether or not Mathusaleh died in the flood!
Remember that the Bible is not a fictional account. It is about a Real God and Real People who interacted during the past several thousand years and about Jesus Christ who really came to give His life for the sake of all men who were lost because of Adam’s sin!
“Lord Jesus, help me to remember that one day my name will be in the list of those who lived and died on planet earth! It is my desire and my prayer that I will please You every day with every thought and action I take. Praise Your Holy Name now and forever. Amen.”
