“Seeing His Days Are Determined…”

How long will man live, this question has been asked for ages. The National Vital Statistic Report (Volume 53, Number 6) states that in 2002 the average life expectancy for both males and females was 77.3 years of age. With the constant improvements in science life expectancy continues to increase each year. This often leads to a false sense of security. Man, many times, believes he can increase his days forever. It seems as if man is trying to reach immortality through the increase of physical life.
Many religious folks have misunderstood mans length of life as well. Some point to Genesis 6:3 – “And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.” However, God was not giving the length of mans life but rather was expressing that He was going to destroy man in 120 years in the days of Noah. Another favorite passage to misrepresent is Psalms 90:10 – “The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.” David was simply expressing that whether we live to be 70 or 80 physical life will end. As the text for our lesson suggests it is futile for man to try to live forever.
With this in mind let us consider further the words of Job.
