Facts Confirm Human Lifespan Limited To 120 Years

Facts Confirm Human Lifespan Limited To 120 Years

While there have at times been unconfirmed reports of people living longer, the facts confirm that human lifespan is limited to no more than about 120 years. About 50 years ago, for example, there was a man living in Florida, USA, named Charlie Smith, who claimed to be 130 years old. However, before the flood of Noah’s day, about 4400-5500 years ago, God announced his decision to eventually limit human lifespan to 120 years. 

“Yahweh said, ‘My spirit cannot be indefinitely responsible for human beings who are only flesh; let the time allowed for each be a hundred and twenty years.'”—Genesis 6:3 NJB read more

Human Lifespan Limit Confirmed by Science Verifies Bible Truth

Human Lifespan Limit Confirmed by Science Verifies Bible Truth

The Bible’s veracity or truth about the human lifespan is confirmed again by modern science in an article published on BBC, entitled: “Limit to human life may be 115 (ish).”

While we certainly don’t want to be dogmatic, since Genesis 6:3 could mean God was saying that he would flood the earth in 120 years from that point in time, the Bible and science and history combine to point out this recently discovered truth.

A look at the lifetimes of people in Genesis 5 tells us people were commonly living 700,800 and 900+ years prior to the flood (yes, these were literal solar years, like ours today). The demarcation point is the global flood, where God sets a new age limit, saying:

LIFESPANS AFTER THE FLOOD FALL DRAMATICALLY

“In the future, their normal lifespan will be no more than 120 years.” (Genesis 6:3b NLT)

The lifetimes after the flood begin to reduce dramatically as can be seen from the listing in Genesis 11. There is a rapid decline from 600 years (vs 10, 11). Some examples are:

Genesis 11:10-11 = 600

Genesis 11:16-17 = 464

Genesis 11:18-19 = 239

Genesis 11:32 = 205

Lifespans continued to fall, as can be seen from:

·         Genesis 23:1 = 127

·         Genesis 25:7 = 175
