What is the longest life span of a person?

Methuselah Peng Zu, the oldest person in human history, is a symbol of longevity in China culture, which is unique in China since ancient times. According to historical records, Peng Zu, whose real name is Keng, was the third son of Lu Zhong, a tribal leader in ancient times. He was 760 years old at the end of Yin Dynasty, but he still looked like a young man. Peng Zu lived over 800 years. But compared with Adam, the ancestor of mankind, Peng Zu's life span is still a little shorter. More interestingly, Adam is not the oldest person in human history. The champion of longevity in human history is methuselah, the seventh generation grandson of Adam. Why did methuselah win the laurel of longevity in human history? Genesis 5: 2 1 says that Enoch was sixty-five years old and gave birth to Methuselah. Methuselah's name means "He will bring it to you when he dies". Enoch gave Methuselah a very strange name. What will he bring to mankind after his death? Is it good or bad? Is it happy or sad? All this is a mystery to contemporary people (including Enoch). Maybe you will say that the name is just a symbol of a person, and it is impossible for parents to name their children. In fact, methuselah is the seventh generation descendant of Adam. The names of his seven generations have their own unique meanings. Adam: people; Seth: Destined, assigned; Enos: Death is inevitable; Kennan: Sadness; Marla: God bless; Jared: coming soon; Enoch: Teaching. If we associate the meaning of these seven names with Methuselah (whose death will bring him), it is: "People are doomed to die, how sad. However, the holy God will teach us. His death will bring ... ",what a wonderful message. Can you say it's just a coincidence? Eight generations, spanning thousands of years, if it is not decided by God in advance, is it possible for people to pass on this beautiful motto? However, more exciting things are yet to come. Methuselah is Noah's grandfather. He 187 gave birth to Noah's father Lamai, and Lamai 182 gave birth to Noah, so the difference between grandparents and grandchildren is 369 years (187+ 182=369). Since Methuselah means "his death will bring", his generation must be curious and afraid of what will happen after his death. As a result, methuselah didn't die until he was 969. At that time, his ancestors, even his son Lamai, died before him. They didn't see what they wanted to see. This is really God's mercy, because as soon as Methuselah died, God's judgment on that generation-the great flood-came immediately. See Genesis Chapter 6 13: "God said to Noah," The end of all flesh has come to me; Because the earth is full of their violence, I will destroy them with the earth. "God told Noah to build an ark so that his wife, son, daughter-in-law and livestock could escape the flood. Because of this, when Methuselah died was not only a personal matter, but also related to the life and death of all mankind at that time. Because Methuselah's death means that God's judgment is coming. Sure enough, Methuselah lived to 969 and died. At that time, Noah was 600 years old (969-369 = 600). Genesis 7: 6 says, "Noah was six hundred years old when the flood flooded the earth. "Not only did the prediction of the name' methuselah' come true, but it came true completely in time! At this point, we can add the names of Methuselah's son Lamai (meaning desperate and sad) and his grandson Noah (meaning comfort and rest in peace) to that incomplete maxim, which means: "People are doomed to die, how sad it is. However, the holy God will teach us. His death will bring comfort and rest to those who are desperate and sad. "At this point, we have to admire how accurate the time predicted by God is. Can we delay the arrival of the great flood without thanking God for his mercy to mankind again and again? It is precisely because of this that God allowed Methuselah to live longer, making him the oldest person in human history.
