Let' 's Study Through Scripture The Bible: Book by Book

Oh, no I hit the geneaologies in my read-through-the-Bible program again

Whats the point? GENEALOGY

Whats the point? Here s a great way to catch up on your sleep?

Whats the point? GENEALOGY

58 Is Genesis 1 11 Real History? 1. Myths don't teach "deep truths" better than history 2. A non-historical approach is very subjective 3. They have vital information otherwise not known 4. They fit into the book's argument emphasizing election 5. Events are presented as historical 6. Science confirms the Genesis 1 11 historical record 7. Christ affirmed their historicity

Genesis 5 & 11Genealogies Genesis 5 carries the genealogy that stretches from Adam to the Flood. Genesis 11 carries the genealogy from Shem (son of Noah) to Terah (father of Abram)

Genesis Genealogy Mysteries Adam Genesis 5 Noah Shem Genesis 11 Terah Can these genealogies help determine the dates of events in history?

Can We Find the Date of Creation from Genesis 5 & 11? Some Say "No" Other genealogies in the Bible have gaps (e.g., Matt. 1:1-17) Therefore there must be gaps in Genesis A "no gap" view puts the Flood at 2487BC but Egypt's history goes back before 3300 BC Others Say "Yes" The other genealogies do not give the father's ages when their sons were born God wants us to "mark seasons and days and years" (Gen. 1:14) Why else would God give us the ages of these men?

Similar ANE chronologies 7 "Enoch, in the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied saying. . . " (Jude 14a, NASB)

Two Views Straight chronology The Bible has the necessary data to map out the basic historical timeline of the OT Genealogical gaps There are gaps not mentioned in the Bible Genealogical information should not be used as the only source for dating events

Arguments Posed for Gaps It is normal for Scripture to pass over very long periods of time with little or no remark Omission of unimportant names is the rule rather than the exception In the ancient world "begat" simply indicated "became the ancestor of," however far removed that ancestor was Lack of harmony exists between OT chronologies and neighboring states

Straight Chronology Support The Bible is filled with much chronological information though scattered in many places When this chronological information is fully systematized, a straight chronology may be proven

How can you tell the age of the earth? Just ask the only Eyewitness!

"Just do the math." "God, how old is the earth?"

85-89 Chronology of the Patriarchs (Gen. 5, 11) Event Reference AH BC "God finished" -6 days 4143 World created "God created man" 0 4143 Adam created 130 4013 "Adam was 130 " Seth born 235 3908 "Seth was 105 " Enosh born "Jacob age 130 at 400 years before Exodus in 1445 BC" Jacob & family go to Egypt 2298 1845

Overlapping Lives

90 Adam & Methuselah contemporaries Adam probably told Methuselah the creation account, who told Shem, who Methuselah's Death told Abraham only 3 retellings apart! 2487 A straight chronology works out exactly to show that Methuselah died in the year of the Great Flood! 2487 Methuselah & Shem contemporaries Shem & Abraham contemporaries

90 Ages of people when they died Adam Adam 930 Years 930 Years Methuselah Methuselah 969 969 Years Years Noah Noah 950 950 Years Years Shem Shem 600 600 Years Years The Flood explains why life spans shortened Abraham Abraham 175 175 Years Years Moses Moses 120 120 Years Years David David 70 70 Years Years

90 I JUST TURNED 969 YEARS OLD AND PEOPLE KEEP TELLING ME HOW OLD I AM. I TELL THEM I'M NOT OLD! THE EARTH IS OLD! IT'S ALMOST 700 YEARS OLDER THAN I AM! Methuselah Methuselah believed in an "Old Earth."
