Oops Of the Day

When God limited the age of man to 120 years, it meant that in 120 years he was going to send the flood and drown them all

Genesis 6:3,5; Genesis chapters 5 & 10 & 11

Fact Of the Day

It meant the vast ages of man (up to nearly 1000 years) would be reduced to an average of 120 years. HOW? Because the ozone layer was nearly eliminated with the flood when the constant cloud covering (like on Venus) was removed and rain was made possible. WHY? Be reducing their ages, they had fewer years for “every intent of their thoughts and heart to be only evil continually.”
