The land Of Moses

Have you ever wondered how the stories of God were passed down from generation to generation before Moses was writing them down? The first five books of the old testament were by tradition written by Moses. We know Moses only wrote what God breathed through him but my point is that a lot before moses were accurated stories passed from generation to generation ultimately from Adam and Eve.

My point is that people lived much longer back then. This was because there was less disease and people lived long, I mean real long. Theologian theorise that there was no rain before Noah and the earth was enveloped in a canopy of water and mist that came up from the ground. because people were more protected from the sun by this canopy and that it didn't rain as much people lived much longer. Also because man was closer to when God had created them, perfect in the Garden of Eden and all, a place where there were no colds or disease or sin, people, naturally lived longer. We know this by scripture. Here are some facts you might find interesting. Anybody can look up this information themselves, it's all in the book of Genesis.


Adam lived 930 years.

Seth, Adam's son was born 130 years after the "fall" and lived 912 years.

Noah was born 126 years after Adam died and only 14 years after Seth died.

Enosh, Adam's grandson lived 815 years and died only 6 years before Noah was born.

Seth, Adam's son died only 14 years before Noah was born.

Methuselah lived 969 years and lived during the last 56 years of Adam's life. He also lived during the first six hundred years of Noah's life. Methhuselah may have seen judgement of the flood even though he probably knew Adam for 56 years.

Methuselah also watched his father Enoch walk with God the first 300 years of his life, then get
raptured to God. This Enoch was also Noahs great grandfather.

Noah was born when Methuselah was 369 years old.

Noah was around 500 years old when he began building the ark.

Noah was around 600 years old when the floods came.

Noah's father Lamech died 5 years before the flood.

Genesis chapter 5:30 says Noah's father Lamech had many other sons and daughters other than Noah.

This means Noah most likely had brothers and sisters lost in the flood!

When Noah's sons covered his nakedness from the wine they were over one hundred years old.

Noah lived 58 years after Abram (Abraham) was born.

Shem, Noah's son lived 402 years after the flood or 210 years after Abram was born or 35 years after Abraham's death.

Shem, Noah's son lived for 135 years after Issaic was born.

So this is how the trdition of passing God's word from generation to generation was so accurate, finally getting to Moses.

I hope you have enjoyed this!
