Before the flood, Methuselah lived 969 years, but after the flood, people began dying off much earlier. What was going on that people stopped living so long after the flood?

Episode 128 11/13/2017
???? GET ME OUT OF HERE! Why people stopped living so long after the flood | Genesis 11:10-26

Today on #CrackYourBible, we’re talking about the post-flood patriarchs of the Old Testament. We can see through their genealogy that people began dying much earlier than men had prior to Noah’s flood. Why was it that people didn’t live as long after the flood compared to before Noah’s flood? You may be surprised to know it has everything to do with God’s mercy and grace!

*From the Bible we know that:*
• Shem was the ancestor of Abram Genesis 11:10-26
• God said He would never flood the earth again. Genesis 9:12-17
• Parents are not to exasperate their children Ephesians 6:2-4
• God prevented Adam & Eve from receiving immortality by removing them from the Garden of Eden. Genesis 3:22-24
