Psalms 90:10
The years of our life are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty; yet their span is but toil (pain, labor), and trouble; they are soon gone, and we fly away.
What is a generation, according to the Bible?
70 YEARS of Life!
Counting By Generations
Both the “Bible” and the “Book of Enoch,” tells us that there were 7 generations between Adam and Enoch. We can also confirm this by counting generations without using exact years. This tells us that our addition began by simply counting generations (fathers and sons directly) and not measuring the actual years that separated them.
Even though today an average lifespan amounts to 70 physical years, as Psalms recorded; we know that during the life-time of Adam, men during this time, lived for several hundred years.
Again, according to Psalms 90:10 (14) generations or lifetimes would equal 980 years, which was merely a single lifetime to forerunners such as Methuselah who lived to be 969 years old.
So, let’s continue to multiply using generations. We will add 14 additional generations to the 7 previous generations that separated Adam and Enoch. This brings us to the 21st generation.
14 generations added to 7 becomes 21
Abraham (born around 2,000 BCE)
Abraham was one of the most notable men in biblical history. He was called the father of the faithful. The length of space between Abraham and Adam was 21 generations.
Remember we added (14) generations to (7), in order to get to the 21st generation.
So, let’s continue, 7+14 of course is 21, revealing there were (21) generations between Adam and Abraham.
Now, if we add another (14) generations, to the timeline it advances (21) to (35), pushing us into the (35th) generation. (21 + 14 = 35)
David was born between 1000 and 1040 BCE,
which became generation (35). This is the generational space separating Adam and David. King David was the (35th) generation from Adam. Amazingly, David was 70 years old when he passed away.
According to Livius.org In Genesis 11:12-13 Shelah is the son of Arphaxad; but Luke makes Shelah the grandson of Arphaxad by inserting Kainan. The other addition is Admin. In doing so, Abraham, who had belonged to the twentieth generation, moved to the twenty-first generation, and David moved from the 33rd generation to the #35;
But, let’s keep counting….
Add “14” more generations to “35” and now we have reached a cool “49”. (35 + 14 = 49)
Yehoshua haMashiach, became the 49th generation!
In most Bibles, a person (Jesus) appears in Luke as the 77th generation from Adam, which conflicts with the “Book of Enoch.” In the “Book Of Enoch,” the 77th generation is described as the last and final generation before the great judgment. Unfortunately, there appears to be some intentional changes made by unscrupulous transcribers, who not only changed Yehoshua’s name and title, “Messiah” into Jesus and “Christ,” but they were also responsible for changing important timelines.
An excerpt from my blog, “The Seventy Seventh Generation.”
In the Book of Enoch 10:12, it explains how the day of judgment would take place 70 generations after Enoch. Since we have established that Enoch was the 7th generation from Adam, we can affirm there will be 70 generations beyond Enoch and, 77 generations in all!
So, how can we discern precisely which generation becomes the seventy-seventh?
Many biblical scholars believe that Adam was created between 4000 and 4004 BCE. Rabbi Yosi ben Halafta placed Adam’s exit from Eden at around 3760 BCE. Other sources have argued that Adam was created around 3977 BCE. I am not an archaeologist, or paleontologist, so I have no skill or expertise to either confirm or refute these timelines. What I can tell you is that if, any of these statements are true, it may confirm where we are, chronologically today.
In the book of, Jubilee 23:11, it reads; And all the generations which shall arise from this time until the day of the great judgment will grow old quickly, before they complete two Jubilees, and their knowledge will forsake them by reason of their old age and all their knowledge will vanish away. v12 And in those days if a man live a Jubilee (50 yrs) and a half of years (25 yrs), they will say regarding him: “He hath lived long, and the greater part of his days are pain and sorrow and tribulation, and there is no peace.
Today, if we calculate our timeline as a combination of years and generations, it stills averages into a normal human lifespan of about 70 years. If Yehoshua was indeed the 49th generation from Adam, we would simply need to add 28 generations to get to the 77th generation and the time of judgment. It is easy enough to add 28 to 49 yielding the total sum of 77. But, could this generational paradox (28 generations of 70 years) actually sum up correctly in total years?
Well, let’s see…
Remember, previously we said that fourteen generations equaled the sum of 980 years (14×70). Adding 14 generations, twice (14+14) would represent two sets of 980 years totals, 28 generations also calculating the sum 1,960 years.
Taking into account Psalms 90:10 which states “the years of our life are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty; yet their span is but toil and trouble; they are soon gone, and we fly away.” ’70” would be the average lifespan, but the average lifespan did not always reach 70 years. In the beginning we know men lived for hundreds of years. Abraham, died at 175 years, and during the middle ages the average lifespan was between 31-34 years.
Today you could confidently say that the average lifespan remains at about 70 years.
If we add (28 + 49) we get 77, so the 28th generation from Yehoshua haMoshiach, becomes the 77th generation. The 77th generation would begin 1,960 years after Yehoshua. One thousand nine hundred and sixty years after Yehoshua’s birth.
This means, that the (77th) generation isn’t in the future! It’s in the past! Beginning in the year, 1960!
If these calculations are correct, they appear to have led us straight into the twentieth century, and into the 1960’s.
This means…
that the 77th generation isn’t sometime in the future, it is today! It is right here, and taking place, right now!

Amos 5:18-20 Woe to you who long for the day of the LORD! Why do you long for the day of the LORD? That day will be darkness, not light. 19 It will be as though a man fled from a lion only to meet a bear, as though he entered his house and rested his hand on the wall only to have a snake bite him. 20 Will not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? Even very dark, and no brightness in it?
Zechariah 14:4-5 The Day Of The LORD
14:4 On that day HE will stand upon the Mount of Olives, to the east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olive will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north, and the other half moving south.
GOD say’s in Zechariah, HE will gather all the nations into Jerusalem, and that Yehoshua will stand there, upon the Mount of Olives, moving it both north and south, creating a great valley.
You will flee by my mountain valley, for it will extend to Azel. You will flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the Lord my God will come, and all the holy ones with him.
6 On that day there will be neither sunlight nor cold, frosty darkness. 7 It will be a unique day—a day known only to the Lord—with no distinction between day and night. When evening comes, there will be light.
8 On that day living water will flow out from Jerusalem, half of it east to the Dead Sea and half of it west to the Mediterranean Sea, in summer and in winter.
Zechariah 14:5-8 describes a future, cataclysmic event where the LORD returns to Yerushalayim causing the Mount of Olives to split, creating a valley for believers to flee through, as in the days of King Uzziah’s earthquake.
LIVING WATERS
9 And the Lord will be king over all the earth. On that day the LORD WILL BE ONE and HIS NAME ONE. (The Shema)
The Shema
Listen, Israel: the Lord is our God, the Lord is One. Blessed be the name of His glorious kingdom for ever and all time. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might. These words which I command you today shall be on your heart.
Shema means “to hear”, it also means to obey, and to take action.
GOD’s TERRIBLE PLAGUE IS COMING,
This is the plague with which the LORD will strike all the nations that fought against Jerusalem: Their flesh will rot while they are still standing on their feet, their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths.
Think you’re ready?
According to htpps:/www.bibletools.com Zechariah 14:12 in Other Translations, And the LORD will send a plague on all the nations that fought against Jerusalem (the Yehudim). Their people will become like walking corpses, their flesh rotting away. Their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths.
The word translated in English as rot is the Greek #4743 maqaq. to melt; figuratively, to flow, dwindle, vanish — consume away.
The word translated as plague is the Greek word maggephah #4046 it means plague, slaughter, death blow and calamity, it is also described as divine judgment!
Luke 21:24 tells us that Jerusalem will remain under Gentile rule until Yehoshua comes to restore the land. That means that those who reside in what we believe is Israel today, could not be the actual Yehudim. At least not according to the Bible.
Luke 21:24 They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
Remember Zechariah also said that the LORD YEHOSHUA, On that day, would stand upon the Mount of Olives, to the east of Yerushalayim (the West Bank), to my knowledge this event has not yet taken place.
- 25) “And there will be signs in the sun and the moon and the stars, and on the earth distress of nations in perplexity because of the roaring of the sea and the waves, 26) people fainting with fear and with foreboding of what is coming on the world. For the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
These appear to be terrifying events,
Do You Think you’re ready?
In Matthew 24, Yehoshua speaks again about unrest among the stars. Soon after the trouble of those days, ‘the sun will grow dark, and the moon will not give its light. The stars will fall from the sky. And the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
Mark 13:24-25 But in those days, following that distress, “‘the sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not give its light;
25 the stars will fall from the sky,
and the heavenly bodies will be shaken
Wow, why do you think there is so much disruption and unrest happening in the heavens among the stars?
Did you know, they too will be judged!
Isaiah 34:4 All the host of heaven shall rot away, and the skies roll up like a scroll. All their host shall fall, as leaves fall from the vine, like leaves falling from the fig tree.
5 For MY sword has drunk it’s fill in the heavens; behold, It descends for judgment upon Edom, upon the people I have devoted to destruction.
Zechariah 12:9 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against (enter into) Jerusalem. And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced (reviled), and they shall mourn for him, as one mourn for his only son (sole survivor), and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
Interesting the word used to describe come “against” is the Hebrew bo, #935. It would appear that instead of, ‘against,’ it would have been more appropriate to use, “come in,” or “come into,” or even “enter into” Jerusalem.
The Greek word “daqar” translated as pierced, also figuratively means to revile.
Also the Greek word translated as “him,” in English, “al” is not actually described as him. In “Strong’s Hebrew” it’s meaning is more like “over” or “upon.”
The scripture should read, “And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that ‘enter into’ Jerusalem.”
So Why is GOD so angry with these people? And, who, exactly are the descendants of Edom?
We may not know for sure who they are today, but the Bible makes it clear who they were in the past!
Jeremiah 49:10-12 But ME? I will strip Esau (Edom) bare. I will expose his hiding places, and he will find no place to take cover. His offspring, family and acquaintances will perish, and there will be no one left to say, 11) Leave your fatherless children; I will keep them alive; and let your widows trust in me. 12) The LORD proclaims: the innocent must drink the cup, why do you expect to escape punishment? You won’t! You will drink it!
I have read that “In some Jewish tradition stemming from the Talmud, descendants of Esau were said to have actually become the Romans (and to an even larger extent, much of Europe.)”
This all makes perfect sense when we acknowledge how both Jacob and Esau had twelve sons (nations). Unfortunately Jacobs family which at one time rivaled the stars, became greatly diminished due to the many curses brought upon them through their abominable practices. On the other hand, through their alliances with Satan, and the rest of the heathen world, Esau’s family continued to grow, prosper, and flourish into countless numbers over multiple generations.
So, who are GOD’s people if the ones in Israel today aren’t them?
Publius Cornelius Tactitus
Did you know: Roman historian Publius Cornelius Tactitus wrote, ”Many assure us that the Jews are descended from those Ethiopians who were driven by fear and hatred to emigrate from their home country when Cepheus was king. There are some who say that a motley collection of landless Assyrians occupied a part of Egypt, and then built cities of their own, inhabiting the lands of the Hebrews and the nearer parts of Syria” –Tacitus, Histories 5.2-5
Tacitus, wrote about Jews (the Yehudim) in his book, The History, saying, “Many assure us they were a race of Ethiopian origin.” The History, Book V, chapter 2.
Tacitus appeared to be a firm believer in Roman paganism but, he was also a witness from the late first and early second century, who described the Hebrew people as possibly originating from ancient Ethiopia (Africa).
“Many assure us that the Jews (Yehudah) are descended from those Ethiopians who were driven by fear and hatred to emigrate from their home country when Cepheus was king. (According to Greek legend, Cepheus was king of Ethiopia, i.e., the country of the “burnt face people,”
Did you know: Paul was mistaken for an Egyptian, and both Egyptians and Ethiopians were similar looking during this time. We know that Paul’s appearance was the reason his ability to speak Greek was questioned by the guard in Acts 21:37.
As he was about to be brought into the barracks, Paul said to the commander, “Am I allowed to say something to you?” He replied, “You know how to speak Greek?
According to Thomas C. Oden who wrote the book, “The African Memory of Mark” speaking of the apostle Mark, he made these claims….
Oden’s line of argument as follows:
- John Mark, the writer of the third gospel, was born in Cyrene (Libya) in North Africa. He was African.
- Mark’s parents, Aristopolis (Rom 15:10) and Mary (Act 12:12), were wealthy diaspora Jews Yisraelis living in Cyrene, and were members of the tribe of Levi.
- Early in his life, Mark’s parents were forced from Cyrene and moved to Jerusalem where they had a large home with an “upper room” (Acts 12:12).
- Aristopolis and Mary were relatives of Barnabas, who was also a Levite from Cyrene (Acts 4:36), with whom Mark traveled on missionary journeys.
- Mark was a close associate with Peter (1 Peter 5:13), Paul (Philemon 1:24), and Barnabas (Acts 12:25) and is considered the Apostle to Africa.
According to Brown- Driver- Briggs (BDB) The English Lexicon first published in 1906 an Israelite was described as…
Ashchuwr (Ashur)
What does “Ashchuwr” mean?
#806 The word Ashchuwr– Ashur (Ash-khoor) was defined as, “black” Israelite. In Strong’s Hebrew Lexicon.
806a (Ashcur) “black,” an Israelite (Ashcur) an Israelite probably from Shachar; black; an Israelite,
These descriptions seem to imply that darker skin aided in confirming a true Israelite, not disparaging them. According to Strong’s Concordance, the word, “Shachar” from which Ashcur derived was defined as,
“to be black.”
It appears that the time is very close, and the truth is manifesting, are you ready?
2nd Peter 3:3-4 Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. 4) They will say, “where is the ‘Coming’ HE promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.”
Revelation 16:15 Behold, I am coming like a thief! Blessed is the one who stays awake, keeping his garments on, that he may not go about naked and be seen exposed!”)
Careful! Are you living your lives, day to day? Doing things the same as every other day before it? Or do you live your life expecting Yehoshua could return at any moment? He said HE would come like a thief in the night. Do not live your life as others do. Do not live your lives to please man! Follow the commandments, look around you, notice the changes in these times, watch, and continue to pray!!!!
Isaiah 33:1-2 Woe to you, destroyer,
you who have not been destroyed!
Woe to you, betrayer,
you who have not been betrayed!
When you stop destroying,
you will be destroyed;
when you stop betraying,
you will be betrayed.
Watch and pray!
