methuselah

The oldest man in the Bible. The son of Enoch, who walked with God. The grandfather of Noah, who found favour with God.

He died, aged 969, in the year of the worldwide flood.

Was his death the 'signal' for the time of judgement to begin? Or was he lost in the flood? We're not told. Speculation isn't helpful.

But the possibilities are sobering.
