@BroRando,
An interesting thought on the word YOM In Genesis 2 The Hebrew God says to Adam, quoting the NWT
Quote:in the day you eat from it you will certainly die
Now Adam Interestingly, did not die in that "day". in fact the story goes on to say he lived for 930 "YOMs" having many sons and daughters, we can rule out this Yom referring to days or weeks, or he would have been just 6 months or 2 years old when he had Seth, if we consider it to refer to months, he would have been just 10 when he had Seth, but to kick it further upfield, keep in mind he already had Cain and Abel before that, and they were old enough to tend sheep and farm crops when Cain killed his brother, an event recorded as prior to the birth of Seth.
so I find it safe to assume that the Yom in which he was to die was 1000 years, which no man was expressed in scripture to have lived beyond, albeit close, Methuselah being the oldest man recorded as 969 years old when he died.
Later, Noah was then recorded as being 500 Yoms when he had children, before post flood, God then reduced the Yoms to 120 years (Hebrew "Shawneh"). The oldest fully authenticated person in recent times lived to 122 years.
This is why I always find the studies around the word Yom an interesting one, if scripture is indeed a reflection of Mans history, it is a game changer.
Adam died within the Day of a Thousand Years. "So all the days of Adam’s life amounted to 930 years, and then he died." (Genesis 5:5) Here's one of the scritures that point to more spiritual understanding. "However, do not let this escape your notice, beloved ones, that one day is with Jehovah as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day. " (2 Peter 3:8)
