To get the average age of a generation, let's divide. 2048/ 21 = 97.5 years Wow! The average age of a generation was 97.5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a few people ever reach 90, let alone 100, or 120. Those are really rare cases. Living that long is not common anymore. God bless you brother.

Guest prodigaldaughter Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 Just a thought :lightbulb: has anyone ever thought that the reason we don't live as long as our forefathers did is because the further in time we get from the Garden of Eden days the more consumed with sin we are. Such as a star exploding. The further the pieces get from the original point the slower the pieces get. Our minds and bodies get more polluted, therefore shorter life As I said...it was JUST a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But after the Flood, the average age dropped from 900 to 400 to 200 to between 200 and 100 ( This became the average for a long time.) Now, it's no more than 90 usually. I think after the Flood, that's when the immense decrease in life expectancy dropped. It dropped from around 920 to about 400. A 500+ life expectancy drop! Imagine that in the present day! It's not possible. After the World was destroyed the first time, life had to be adjusted to by the new people. Things changed. The humans were allowed to hunt and eat meat. Sin had decreased their life expectancy rates to more than half. The First world only lasted 10 generations long. It only lasted 1656 years! That's it! The present world has lasted over 4000 years, I believe. God bless you brothers and sisters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Living Sacrifice Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 With me beaing only 19, yeah, that would not be good, but at least I could go and be with my Jesus if it did happen. I feel though that your not going to die till God's Will has taken place in your life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lord does let people live until they have at least had a chance to become one of His own. God bless you brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
