Methuselah's Warning
Parable★★★★Imagine Methuselah, the oldest man in history at 969 years old, standing with Noah. As he ages closer to his death, everyone around him knows that something big is supposed to happen when he goes. Noah says, ‘Look folks, nobody else has ever lived as long as this man. And when he dies, the flood’s going to come. It’s time now.’ This moment illustrates the urgency of God’s warnings.
