Hi folks
I was not trying to raise sympathy for having to work for a living at my age , glad to see there others too,Dennis! I praise the Lord for the excellent health I have , just shows you how He provides and my Bible does not tell me anything about entitlement to an easy life
just because you have been spared to reach an older age.
It is really nice getting to know you guys better !
God bless ,Wim
Nelson Boils:
Whoa!Ye,the OG's, sound like are still fresh,ye are blessed.There are clients which I work with which are born in the 20's and are still living.That is remarkable.To me.
It is being said that our generation,the 80's,90's,will not live till 50.I'm still relatively young,very young compared to ye.I still have a loooooong waaaaay to go till i reach 70.
I hope to make it to 33.
Dennis Vogel:
Trust me - Age 33 was 40 years ago but it seems like 5 years ago. I cannot believe how old I am. It does not seem possible.
Jas 4:13 Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:
Jas 4:14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
I understand this more each day:
Rev 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
Dave in Tenn:
Gen 4:23,24 And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt. If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.
Gen 5:31 And all the days of Lamech were seven hundred seventy and seven years: and he died.
I kinda think I know the man and the young man Lamech was talking about.
willemv:
Not sure what your saying Dave ,I have always been under the impression Lamech being the first polygamist in this world was just giving his women a " kind " warning not to stray from being good faithful wives. What is intriguing to me is the number 7 which is mentioned repeatedly in this part especially since Lamech was a descendent of Cain ,in fact he was the 7th after Adam ,whereas Cain would be avenged 7 -fold , he claimed to be avenge himself 77 -fold.And these were not from the lineage of the promise.
A small correction- The Lamech that lived 777 years was a different person , the father of Noah. Don't blame you ,it gets confusing with all those sevens.!
Dennis , your bible quotes about age are indeed very true!
God bless, Wim
