The Oldest Man (15 of 48)
Series: Creation or Evolution?
Dr. Stan Coffey
Genesis 5:5-25; Hebrews 1:5
January 25, 1987
INTRODUCTION: The oldest man who ever lived (Methuselah) died before his father (Enoch) died. Enoch is a man who never saw physical death. The Bible teaches that God just translated him. God took him physically, bodily to heaven without dying. One man was complaining about the situation in the world to Mark Twain and he said I'm afraid the world is coming to an end. And Mark Twain said well don't worry about it, you'll never get out of it alive anyway. But he was wrong. Enoch got out of it alive and the Prophet Elijah got out of it alive and according to the Bible many of us are going to get out of it alive. The Bible calls this the rapture of the church. The first mention of this event is found in Genesis 5 and it all revolves around this man named Enoch.
