Methuselah (When he Dies, it will be sent)

Our pastor is going through Genesis this month and instead of skipping over Genesis 5:1-32 because it is merely geneology, he decided to make it interesting.

He had a little key for us to fallow so it was a bit more interesting, but I will try my best to show you what he showed us.

If we start at the year 0 with Adam... And work our way from there... (You can do all the math from Genesis 5... it really does work) They don't do the math for you, they just say how old they were, that is why this is not obvious unless you do a little brain work.

Adam Lived 930 Years, Died in 930
at 130 Adam Had Seth
Seth Lived 807 Years, Died in 937 (See because he was born in 130... stick with me 130+807)
At the year 235 Seth had Enosh (it says that Seth was 105 when he fathered Enosh 130+135)
Enosh lived 905 Years, Died in 1140
at year 325 Enosh had Kenan
Kenan lived 910 Years, Died in 1235
at year 395 Kenan had Mahalalel
Mahalalel lived 895 Years, Died in 1290
at year 460 Mahalalel had Jared
Jared lived 962 Years, died in 1422
at year 622 Jared had Enoch
Enoch lived 365 years, Died in 987 (Poor Enoch)
in year 687 Enoch had Methuselah

Now before I go on, you can look it up... all hebrew names in the bible have interesting meanings. The meaning of Methuselah means: When he dies, it will come or When he dies, it will be sent... (Just keep that in mind...)

Now Methuselah lived the longest out of all these men... (Just maybe because of what his name ment)

Methuselah lived 969 Years, Died in 1656 (KEEP THIS NUMBER HANDY!)
in year 874 Methuselah had Lamech
Lamech lived 777 Years, Died in 1651
in 1056 Lamech had Noah...

It does not go on to say how long Noah lived until after his story... (We all know the story of Noah...)

But here is what it says, Genesis 9:28 After the flood Noah lived 350 Years. Altogether Noah lived 950 years, and then he died...

So if we do the math we can see that Noah, since he was born in 1056 he died 950 years later... he would have died in year 2006

The scripture says he died 350 years after the flood...

2006-350=1656...

This means the flood came in the year... 1656

Remember when Methuselah died???
Remember what his name ment???

I LOVE IT!!!!
