Questions:

My question is concerning the character of Methuselah, in the Old Testament. He was a great-grandfather of Noah, I’ve heard but I haven’t been able to confirm that not only was he the oldest living human being, he lived longer than anyone else, but that was a promise of God that He would not destroy the world with a flood until Methuselah died. Can you confirm this?

Questions:

I have listened to Pastor Bob’s teaching on Enoch having a dual vision and how he named his son Methuselah after this vision, which according to Pastor Bob, this name means “when he dies it shall fall.” After looking this name “Methuselah” up in Strong’s and other dictionaries, I have come up with the explanation “man of the dart.” Can you tell me which dictionary states that Methuselah means “when it dies it shall fall”? Of course, I am not asking because I doubt what Pastor Bob said, (I trust and respect Pastor Bob as a man of God) I am just asking to know for myself and use it in my Bible Study.

Hello. My name is Lance and I am a Senior Associate Pastor in Austin, Texas I recently listened to some material where the minister was discussing the Greek word for “apostle” and how it came from a Phoenician military term.

Thank you for taking the time to read this email and I would appreciate any help you could offer.
