So I have heard some pastors preach and  a lot of people say that Methuselah the world's oldest man that ever lived was not really important, his life was not really useful just because the bible only recorded the years the poor man spent on earth and not his achievements and I am always like "what! you  kidding me or what? you mean a man who was wise and smart enough to spend a nine hundred and sixty nine(969!) years on earth was not useful! you must be kidding!"

(I can turn your picture into a beautiful story..contact me on johnolanipekun112@yahoo.com)

Let me analyze it clearer for you..going by 969 years, if Methuselah had died this year(2018), he would have been born in 1049 AD... gawd, he would have seen all the revolutions! experienced most of the things that is being taught in our history class,the battle of Hastings! bubonic plauge!American civil war!.many vampires even though they are myths don't even get to live that long, when he was 200 years old, I can bet a dollar that he was still as strong as a 30 year old man, ..we have a lot to learn from the lifestyle and years of Methuselah on earth..this post is not written  to add to the bible ,or deduct from it (no sir!)  but just speculations into Methuselah's lifestyle that could have made him live that long and what can we learn from them..check them out..

He lived a healthy lifestyle: although Methuselah was not a king, we can conclude that he didn't eat the best ,but he ate healthy foods that did well to his body and his immune system, he must have done some couple of exercises too(though funny, but yes) to keep fit and live that long..he wouldn't have smoked(if it was available then) and he wouldn't have been a lover of alcohol.so if you want a good shot at Methuselah's years on earth, you d better lived a healthy lifestyle..

He minded his business: Trust me, you can't live that long like if you don't mind your business, Methuselah must have been a gentle,easygoing man who paddled his own canoe, and went about minding his own business.. you want to be 969? mind your business!

He was careful: Methuselah must have been very careful  in his decisions , to have lived that long, I an sure huldn't have been the man who arrived at hasty decisions.. he would have thought then through before going for one(he had a lotta time on his hands)..Don't make hasty decisions ..it reduces lifespan

He was a likeable person: Methuselah must have been a likeable person with nice characters to have lived that long, so people that lived then were not freaked out by his age, they live and let him live,if he had been a bad person with a lot of hate going for him, he wouldn't have lived that long..improve on your characters  ..it might take you places or let me say ages

He was wise: He must have been a wise  and experienced man who made smart decisions to have lived that long..  going by what the bible say,get wisdom and in all thy getting, get understanding..

so you might now stop saying that "apart from his age,Methuselah was not important or useful to the events that happened in his lifetime and was recorded in the bible" because his age enough had put upon him a veil of importance.. he broke a worldly record that would never be broken  again in this world or maybe the world to come..next time before you say anything about Methuselah, just remember 969 years!
