3/10 Time Line of Adam to Noah and the Great Flood
In looking at the issues involved in creation and evolution, it helps to see the time line the Bible gives from Adam to Noah and the great flood, Genesis 5:1-31. Notice, the Bible does not set out this time space in millions and millions of years!
4000 BC ADAM – Cain and Abel born, Cain killed Abel. Cain was banished.
Adam lived until he was 930 years old.
3900 Adam -130 years old when Seth was born.
SETH – 105 years old when Enosh was born, died at 912.
3800 ENOSH – 90 years when Kenan born, dies at 905 years.
3700 KENAN – 70 years when Mahalalel born, died at 910.
Adam was 325 years old when Kenan was born.
3600 MAHALALEL – 65 years Jarad born, died at 895.
Adam was 395 years old
3500 JARAD – 162 years when Enoch born, died at 962.
Adam was 460 years old.
3400 ENOCH – 65 Methuselah born, ‘God took him’.
Adam was 622 years old
3300 METHUSELAH – 187 Lamech born, died 969.
Adam was 637 years old
3200 LAMECH – 182 as Noah born, died at 777.
Adam was 874 years old
3100 930 – Adam dies
3000 NOAH – 500 at birth of Shem, Ham and Japheth,
Noah dies at 950 years
2900 912 – Seth dies
2800 905 – Enosh dies
2700 910 – Kenan dies
2600 895 – Mehalalel dies
2500 962 – Jarad dies
2400 969 Methuselah dies
777 Lemech dies
THE GREAT FLOOD
2300 BC ——————————————————
Note: All the patriarchs but Adam were still alive when Noah was born! Oral history would assure that all generations knew Adam and Eve’s story and all the following history ‘word perfect’. You can go back and check the figures from the Biblical records of dates of birth and death.
We are so used to thinking in life spans of 70 or 90 that to see Adam living until he was 930 years old is an adjustment of our thinking.
I trust this time line helps in growing your faith in the perfect plan of our Creator as it has mine,
