Some people will tell you that men and women have walked on earth for tens of thousands or even millions of years.
In my book “What’s Really Going On? I have detailed a Genealogy of Man which details when Adam first walked on this earth.
We probably don’t think about this too much, but the bible provides a very detailed history from Adam through to Roman times up to about 100AD.
For example Genesis chapter 5 verses 3 – 32 provides the following information:
3 When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son in his own likeness, in his own image; and he named him Seth. 4 After Seth was born, Adam lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters. 5 Altogether, Adam lived a total of 930 years, and then he died.
6 When Seth had lived 105 years, he became the father[b] of Enosh. 7 After he became the father of Enosh, Seth lived 807 years and had other sons and daughters. 8 Altogether, Seth lived a total of 912 years, and then he died.
9 When Enosh had lived 90 years, he became the father of Kenan. 10 After he became the father of Kenan, Enosh lived 815 years and had other sons and daughters. 11 Altogether, Enosh lived a total of 905 years, and then he died.
12 When Kenan had lived 70 years, he became the father of Mahalalel. 13 After he became the father of Mahalalel, Kenan lived 840 years and had other sons and daughters. 14 Altogether, Kenan lived a total of 910 years, and then he died.
15 When Mahalalel had lived 65 years, he became the father of Jared. 16 After he became the father of Jared, Mahalalel lived 830 years and had other sons and daughters. 17 Altogether, Mahalalel lived a total of 895 years, and then he died.
18 When Jared had lived 162 years, he became the father of Enoch. 19 After he became the father of Enoch, Jared lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters. 20 Altogether, Jared lived a total of 962 years, and then he died.
21 When Enoch had lived 65 years, he became the father of Methuselah. 22 After he became the father of Methuselah, Enoch walked faithfully with God 300 years and had other sons and daughters. 23 Altogether, Enoch lived a total of 365 years. 24 Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away.
25 When Methuselah had lived 187 years, he became the father of Lamech. 26 After he became the father of Lamech, Methuselah lived 782 years and had other sons and daughters. 27 Altogether, Methuselah lived a total of 969 years, and then he died.
28 When Lamech had lived 182 years, he had a son. 29 He named him Noah[c] and said, “He will comfort us in the labor and painful toil of our hands caused by the ground the Lord has cursed.” 30 After Noah was born, Lamech lived 595 years and had other sons and daughters. 31 Altogether, Lamech lived a total of 777 years, and then he died.
32 After Noah was 500 years old, he became the father of Shem, Ham and Japheth.
This genealogy continues all the way until Roman times. I won’t bore you with the full genealogy, but suffice to say, there is a lot of detailed information as to how long we have been on earth.
Many researchers have spent countless hours poring through these pages, and they have been able to determine that Adam first walked on earth about 4000 years before the Roman era.
It has been about 2000 years since the Romans were dominant, making a total of a little less than 6000 years that men and women have walked on this earth.
For this reason I find it difficult to accept the idea that man has been walking on this earth for tens of thousands or even millions of years.
I firmly believe that the number of slightly less than 6000 years is critically important in understanding why the commencement of the end times is likely to occur well within the next decade.
