Genesis 5: Comparing Pre- to Post-Flood Lifespans

In this post, we provide a concise summary of Genesis 5:1-32, focusing on the lifespans of the pre-flood patriarchs. This overview sets the stage for comparing these lengthy lifespans with the significantly shorter ones recorded after the flood. We also explore the remarkable account of Enoch, whom Jude 1:14-15 describes as a prophet and preacher of righteousness. Stay tuned for the song inspired by this post, titled “Walk With God.”

We also have a longer review of this topic in our presentations entitled:
