I’m your host, Pastor JJ
In today’s Bible Study, we are going to study:
METHUSELAH
Etymology of Methuselah’s name
“Man of the Dart,” or “Man of the Javelin."
Methuselah is the oldest person mentioned in the Bible.
In Genesis 5, Methuselah is listed as a descendent of Adam, who also lived nearly a millennium.
Genesis 5:21-22
“When Enoch had lived 65 years, he became the father of Methuselah.
After he became the father of Methuselah, Enoch walked faithfully with God 300 years and had other sons and daughters.”
Genesis 5:25-27
“When Methuselah had lived 187 years, he became the father of Lamech.
After he became the father of Lamech, Methuselah lived 782 years and had other sons and daughters.
Altogether, Methuselah lived a total of 969 years, and then he died.”
1 Chronicles 1:1-4
“Adam, Seth, Enosh,
2 Kenan, Mahalalel, Jared,
3 Enoch, Methuselah, Lamech, Noah.
4 The sons of Noah: Shem, Ham and Japheth.”
Luke 3:37
“the son of Methuselah, the son of Enoch, the son of Jared, the son of Mahalalel, the son of Kenan.”
Methuselah and Adam are not the only persons mentioned in the Bible living over 900 years.
Adam lived to be 930 years old
Adam’s son Seth lived 912 years
Seth’s son Enosh (or Enos) lived to be 905 years old
Methuselah’s grandfather Jered lived to be 962 years old
Methuselah’s grandson Noah lived to be 950 years old
Though Methuselah lived 693 years after Adam, it is likely they knew each other since Adam lived for another 237 years after Methuselah was born.
Methuselah was the son of Enoch.
Enoch was 65 when Methuselah was born.
Enoch was commended for his faithfulness to God.
According to Genesis 5,
“Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away.”
Methuselah’s son Lamech was the father of Noah.
(Genesis 5:25-29).
Methuselah was 369 years old when Noah was born
(Genesis 9:28-29)
Methuselah died in the year of the flood when Noah was 600 years old.
