Where were we? Oh, yes...
Genesis 1: 1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
1:27 So God created man (Adam) in his own image, in the image of God created he
him; male and female created he them.
31: And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good.
And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
Genesis 5: 3 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years,
and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image;
and called his name Seth...
6: And Seth lived an hundred and five years, and
begat Enos...
9: And Enos lived ninety years, and begat Cainan...
12: And Cainan lived seventy years, and begat
Mahalaleel...
15: And Mahalaleel lived sixty and five years, and
begat Jared...
18: And Jared lived an hundred sixty and two years,
and he begat Enoch...
21: And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat
Methuselah...
25: And Methuselah lived an hundred eighty and seven years,
and begat Lamech...
28: And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years,
and begat a son:
29: And he called his name Noah...
32: And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah
begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth...
Ok, I just have to pause at this point...
If you have been following along, we have just dated
one thousand, five hundred and fifty-six years of creation!
I would like to repeat at this point that the Bible is not a history book. It
just went through over fifteen hundred
years in twenty-nine sentences! Well, the Bible was never intended to be a
history book.
It is your Basic
Instructions
Before
Leaving
Earth.
People say "The Bible doesn't mention Dinosaurs!" Well, dear reader, the Bible
doesn't
mention giraffes, either, but it doesn't mean they don't exist, or that the
Bible does not accomplish it's goals.
The Bible is the study of GOD- not history.
But, let's get back to the dates...
Genesis 11: 10 ...Shem was an hundred years old,
and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood.
12: And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, and
begat Salah
14 And Salah lived thirty years, and begat Eber
16 And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat
Peleg
18 And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu
20 And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat
Serug
22 And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor
24 And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat
Terah
26 And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram
[who became Abraham; Genesis 17: 5],
Nahor, and Haran
Genesis 21: 5 And Abraham was an hundred years old,
when his son Isaac was born unto him.
Genesis 25: 26 ...and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was
threescore years old
[sixty]
when she bare them.
Note:
Genesis 32: 28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel:
for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
On the next page we will begin
with Jacob's Pilgrimage.

thousand one hundred and eight...)
