Methuselah

In “Genesis,” Adah sees past the illusion that the Congolese are a primitive subgenre of humans who are inferior to the Prices. Instead, she understands that the Congolese are the same as the rest of human civilization just with different cultures and traditions. When the Prices arrive in the Congo, Rachel and Nathan are shocked and disturbed by the Congolese not wearing clothes. As a result, Nathan angrily delivers a speech to the entire Congo to insult them for their nakedness and call them…

The story is told over a span of many years starting in 1959 when the Price family, Orleanna, Nathan, and their four daughters: Leah, Rachel, Adah, and Ruth May, move to Kilanga Village in Africa from the U.S. state of Georgia. Nathan is a missionary who is going to convert the people of Kilanga Village to Christianity by baptizing them.

Several times he had to correct one of the goatherd’s use of vocabulary, eventually to the point that the goatherd demanded he stop, “’You mean Methuselah’ replied Don Quixote, unable to tolerate the goatherd’s confusion of words…Pedro responded, ‘and if Señor, you keep correcting every word I say, we won’t finish in a year’” (Grossman, pg. 83).

tribulation brings us to a date range of 2023-2027, nearly identical to the date range for the Millennial Day Theory. If you question the significance of a person’s longevity in connection with God’s world-wide judgment, I have just three words for you: Methuselah and The Flood. Exact dates (years) are impossible to determine. I am only suggesting a general time period for the start of The Tribulation. Bear in mind that this does not set any time period for the rapture of the church which could…

The old testament of the bible is notoriously marked by the number of deaths it contains. Outside of those who are struck down by God, or who die as a result of various conflicts, there’s a unique description of life and death in Genesis. The long, and rather dry, lineages that are present in Genesis are put in between longer biblical stories and serve as a tool for relating stories together, as well as providing a timeline for the events in Genesis. These lineages are rarely addressed in…

Adam was the first person on earth, Seth was Abel’s “replacement”, Enoch was the man who walked with God, and so on. All of the…
