Methusaleh Died in Flood?

[Guest dove2]

A cave sounds feasible compared to being put on the Ark. I think putting Methuselah on the Ark is a little far fetched. It would not be like bringing Joseph

Yeah, I can just see it if they put Methusaleh on the ark:

Noah's wife: Something stinks downstairs, honey.

Noah: Yeah, well uh, whatever it is, it smells as old as Methusaleh.

Ya gotta luv it RGR!

according to a Jewish historian, don't recall his name right now but I can look it up if anyone is interested, Methuselah died 7 days before the flood

According to Joshua 10:13 and II Samuel 1:18, the Book of Jasher is important enough to quote in the Bible, so I figure that I can use it here as well....

Jasher 5:36-6:1

And it was at that time Methuselah the son of Enoch died...At that time, after the death of Methuselah, the Lord said to Noah, Go thou with thy household into the ark...

I fully understand that Jasher is probably an extra Biblical book, but like I said, the Bible quotes it twice.

I have posted this before but it is pretty cool.

The names given for the first ten generations from Adam are:

Adam, Seth, Enosh, Kenan, Mahalalel, Jared, Enoch, Methuselah, Lamech, and Noah.

All these names have meanings. Here is what they are:

MAN (Adam) is APPOINTED (Seth) MORTAL (Enosh) SORROW (Kenan), but THE BLESSED GOD (Mahalalel) SHALL COME DOWN (Jared) TEACHING (Enoch) HIS DEATH SHALL BRING (Methuselah) THE DESPAIRING (Lamech) REST(Noah).

You mistakenly gave me credit for wordsowers post. Following posts of who said what can be rather difficult. Thanks

p.s. Where can Jasher be found? It's not in my copy of the apocrypha.

Well, I got mine from Dr. Kent Hovind's website for $10. I just did a search on his website and found it still available if you care to purchase a copy. It is $9.75 at the following link:

Again, I am not saying that it is inspired text, but the writers of the Bible obviously though enough of it to quote from it.....assuming that this BOJ is the same BOJ that is quoted from. It is extremely interesting reading for anyone who wants to get a little bit more detail then is in the Bible on certain subjects.

You're right - that is cool!!!
