Older than Methuselah; where does this come from? Genesis 5

 God Morning.  God is good all the time, all the time God is good. YOU ARE INDEED BLESSED TODAY!!!

   So, the expression Older than Methuselah means you are old.  Did it come from the Bible?  Yes, most assuredly.  Methuselah's lineage shows long life and he is of the lineage of Adam. This is all recorded in Genesis 5.  Methuselah's father, Enoch, only live 300 years and THEN HE WAS NO MORE.  So, Enoch did not die, but was taken up.
  If you will read Genesis 5 you will see that Methuselah was 7 generations from Adam and the generations before him all lived to around 900 years or more.  Methuselah was 969, out living his grandfather, Jared by 7 years.
   It does not take long to read Genesis 5 (the link above) and is quite interesting.  Just food for thought and something to add to your knowledge. Thanks for reading. Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
