12 ) THE DATE OF THE FLOOD

a) THE DATE OF FLOOD CAN BE DETERMINED BY ADDING UP THE YEARS STATED IN GEN 5:1-32 & GEN 11:10

1  This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day when God created man, He made him in the likeness of God. 

2  He created them male and female, and He blessed them and named them Man in the day when they were created.

3  When Adam had lived one hundred and thirty years, he became the father of a son in his own likeness, according to his image, and named him Seth. 

[130 years from Adam to Seth]

4  Then the days of Adam after he became the father of Seth were eight hundred years, and he had other sons and daughters. 

[Note that Seth was not the firstborn of Adam but the chronology is established by the date of Seth's birth 130 years after Adam was born. Furthermore, the child does not have to be firstborn so long as the timespan from the birth of the father to the birth of the particular child is stipulated with no gaps indicated in the chronology]

5  So all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years, and he died. 

[130 from Adam to Seth + 800 thereafter = 930 years chronologically]

6  Seth lived one hundred and five years, and became the father of Enosh. 

[130 from Adam to Seth + 105 years from Seth until Enosh is born in strict chronological order time span]

7  Then Seth lived eight hundred and seven years after he became the father of Enosh, and he had other sons and daughters. 

8  So all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years, and he died.

[Note Seth lived 105 years until Enosh then Seth lived 807 more years thereafter for a total of 912. The figures are indeed chronological and corroborated!!! - The chronological order being established through the next generation at the birth of the particular son stipulated]

9  Enosh lived ninety years, and became the father of Kenan.

[So 130 years Adam to Seth + 105 to Enosh + 90 years to Kenan which is in strict chronological order from Adam until the birth of Kenan]

10  Then Enosh lived eight hundred and fifteen years after he became the father of Kenan, and he had other sons and daughters. 

11  So all the days of Enosh were nine hundred and five years, and he died. 

[90 + 815 = 905 years as it stipulates above for Enosh]

12  Kenan lived seventy years, and became the father of Mahalalel.

[Now we have 130 years Adam to Seth + 105 to Enosh + 90 to Kenan + 70 years to Mahalalel]

13  Then Kenan lived eight hundred and forty years after he became the father of Mahalalel, and he had other sons and daughters.

14  So all the days of Kenan were nine hundred and ten years, and he died. 

[70 + 840 = 910 as stipulated total years for Kenan]

15  Mahalalel lived sixty-five years, and became the father of Jared. 

[Now we have 130 years Adam to Seth + 105 to Enosh + 90 to Kenan + 70 years to Mahalalel + 65 to Jared]

16  Then Mahalalel lived eight hundred and thirty years after he became the father of Jared, and he had other sons and daughters. 

17  So all the days of Mahalalel were eight hundred and ninety-five years, and he died. 

[65 + 830 = 895 as stipulated]

18  Jared lived one hundred and sixty-two years, and became the father of Enoch. 

[Now we have 130 years Adam to Seth + 105 to Enosh + 90 to Kenan + 70 years to Mahalalel + 65 to Jared + 162 to Enoch]

19  Then Jared lived eight hundred years after he became the father of Enoch, and he had other sons and daughters. 

20  So all the days of Jared were nine hundred and sixty-two years, and he died. 

[162 + 800 = 962 year total lifespan as stipulated]

21  Enoch lived sixty-five years, and became the father of Methuselah.

[Now we have 130 years Adam to Seth + 105 to Enosh + 90 to Kenan + 70 years to Mahalalel + 65 to Jared + 162 to Enoch +65 to Methuselah]

22  Then Enoch walked with God three hundred years after he became the father of Methuselah, and he had other sons and daughters.

23  So all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years. 

[65 + 300 = 365 total lifespan]

24  Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him. 

25  Methuselah lived one hundred and eighty-seven years, and became the father of Lamech.

[Now we have 130 years Adam to Seth + 105 to Enosh + 90 to Kenan + 70 years to Mahalalel + 65 to Jared + 162 to Enoch +65 to Methuselah 187 to Lamech]

26  Then Methuselah lived seven hundred and eighty-two years after he became the father of Lamech, and he had other sons and daughters. 

27  So all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred and sixty-nine years, and he died. 

[187 + 782 = 969 total lifespan]

28  Lamech lived one hundred and eighty-two years, and became the father of a son. 

29  Now he called his name Noah, saying, "This one will give us rest from our work and from the toil of our hands arising from the ground which the LORD has cursed."

[Now we have 130 years Adam to Seth + 105 to Enosh + 90 to Kenan + 70 years to Mahalalel + 65 to Jared + 162 to Enoch +65 to Methuselah + 187 to Lamech + 182 to Noah]

30  Then Lamech lived five hundred and ninety-five years after he became the father of Noah, and he had other sons and daughters. 

31  So all the days of Lamech were seven hundred and seventy-seven years, and he died.

[182 + 595 = 777 total lifespan]

32  Noah was five hundred years old, and Noah became the father of Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

[Now we have 130 years Adam to Seth + 105 to Enosh + 90 to Kenan + 70 years to Mahalalel + 65 to Jared + 162 to Enoch +65 to Methuselah + 187 to Lamech + 182 to Noah + 500 to Shem, Ham and Japheth]

Gen 11:10 These are the records of the generations of Shem. Shem was one hundred years old, and became the father of Arpachshad two years after the flood; 

[Now we have 130 years Adam to Seth + 105 to Enosh + 90 to Kenan + 70 years to Mahalalel + 65 to Jared + 162 to Enoch +65 to Methuselah + 187 to Lamech + 182 to Noah + 500 to Shem + 100 to Arpachshad TWO YEARS AFTER THE FLOOD!!! = 1656 years with some variance for a number of months in each year stipulated for numbers of years which are not each necessarily precisely 12 months. 

So the flood took place approximately 1654 years after Adam was created]

b) Genealogies in Genesis chapters 5 & 11 do not have any gaps pointing to a short history of man

c) Genesis 5 & 11 are chronological indicating a young age of the earth
