Just noticed something, and I'm wondering if anyone else has ever noticed it.
Different Bibles seem to have slightly different information. Not exactly different, but sort of "rounding things off".
Cain was born within the first 100 years after Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden. Then Abel, and then Seth. After Cain murdered Abel, he told GOD he was afraid someone would kill him. Who??? Adam? Eve? Seth wasn't even a gleem in his daddy's eye yet. So, who? But, GOD put a mark upon him. It seems that mark was inherited by his line of descent.
Before the flood, Noah already had two wives that were "seed of Seth". GOD told him to take another woman for a wife, that was "seed of Cain". "For she is a righteous woman and tries to serve GOD, though she does carry the mark of Cain. GOD did not want the "seed of Cain" to vanish from the earth because of the coming flood. And, she became the mother of Ham.
Then, not long after the flood, Cain appears in time to get murdered himself. Now, I'm not nearly as interested in just how Cain survived the flood without the aid of Noah and his Ark, but if you would, check my "cyphering"...
Cain - Born about 39,950 BC... Give or take about 50 years or so...
Date of the flood - about November 11, 2345 (according to Biblical "experts")
Or...
Date of the flood - about 2845 (according to science.)
So, what I'd like to know... Just how large a birthday cake did they have to have for him for the last year before he was killed in order to fit 26,000 PLUS candles on it????
If no one in the early years of the Bible lived to reach 1,000 years, how did he live to be a ripe, old, rikkety, age of more than 26,000 years???
