Genesis 6:3 – Mans appointed 120 years: It’s true meaning
- Genesis 6:3
New Living Translation
Then the LORD said, “My Spirit will not put up with humans for such a long time, for they are only mortal flesh. In the future, their normal lifespan will be no more than 120 years.”
OK, we have a problem…. Man rarely lives beyond 100. His average lifespan is in the area of 75. Not just today, but also 3000 years ago and that is why we have an discrepancy with the only other biblical passage dealing with the Lifespan of humans on earth. King David wrote in the Psalms the true passage that deals with man’s lifespan.
NASB Psalm 90:10
“For the days of our life, they contain seventy years, Or if due to strength, eighty years, Yet their pride is but labor and sorrow; For soon it is gone and we fly away”.
That verse I can believe! Man’s lifespan is 70-80 years according to the psalms! Then what on earth is Genesis 6:3 teaching us……
Is it possible that Genesis 6:3 has been mis-translated? Absolutely. Unless someone shows me when in history human beings lived an average of 120 years, this verse is either evidence of a un-inspired holy scriptures or there is a hidden gem within these words that most scholars have missed over the last 2000 years.
Young’s literal Translation
And Jehovah saith, ‘My Spirit doth not strive in man — to the age; in their erring they are flesh:’ and his days have been an hundred and twenty years.
Ecclesiastes 1:9-11 That which has been [is] what will be, That which [is] done is what will be done,And [there is] nothing new under the sun. Is there anything of which it may be said, “See, this [is] new”? It has already been in ancient times before us. There is no remembrance of former things, Nor will there be any remembrance of [things] that are to come By [those] who will come after
Godtype’s core scientific/cognitive research displays the statistically impossible corelations that our “Time” on this earth mirrors human cognition. Man is not only made in God’s image, it seems time itself is inexplicably designed to mirror God as well!
Further Biblical Evidences clearly understood by Jewish wisdom when we read Genises 6:3 in its original language

In Gen.6:3, The Jewish commentators clearly show that this verse is about an age – This age as is common in scriptures has two congruent meanings. Noah’s flood as is most often taught by Jewish and Christian pastors. But surely it is referring to an “age”. If we take each day of creation equivalent to 1,000 year days (supported by scripture in Psalms 90:4 as well as 2 Peter 3:8. This makes it clear that 1,000 years are as one day to God – and a day is as a thousand years.
Surely, 120 years can either imply the 12,000 years of alloted Human (man’s) history! This same 120 years when combined with the Jewish Jubilee gives us some other interesting observations.
God established a “Jubilee Year” for Israel in Leviticus 25:8-13. A Jubilee period consists of 50 year time spans.
If we multiply this 120 ‘years’ by the Jubilee years of Israel of 50 years [50 X 120] we arrive at Goddtype’s 6,000 years of “known” time which consists of 4,000 years of SP(spirit/Jewish age) which is followed by a 2,000 year period of NF(Jesus/Christian age) A total of of 6,000 years which is to be followed by a 1000 year millenium (Trinity/timeless age) 6 days + 1 day of rest!
The bible is prolific in its support of the Godtype Space-time map!
Im Hosea 6:1-2 it says… “Come, let us return to the Lord. He has torn us to pieces but He will heal us; He has injured us but He will bind up our wounds. After two days He will revive us; on the third day He will restore us.”
This is clear evidence for our present 2,000 year NF/Jesus age which began at Christs resurrection. 29/30* ad.
The Bible clearly shows this 6,000 year period which is unfortunately taken by fundamentalist brothers as the entire age of our earth. My judgemental brothers fail to “see” the 5,000 year period of the Father’s SJ age clearly alluded to in many passages dealing with the Ancient of days as well the “mighty men of old” Mighty men and ancient history the Jewish Rabi’s were well aware of. See Zechariah 12:10 and vs.16.
William Blake – Christ appears to apostles after resurection
In still another scripture: “I tell you the truth, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.” Mt.16:28. (Also Mk.9:1).
“After six days (this information within the scriptures is a clue to something hidden in plain sight – could it be a reference to his second coming after 6,000 years of Jewish/Christian history?) Jesus took with Him Peter, James and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. There He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as light.” Mt.17:1-2. (Also Mk.9:2-3).
Jesus gives another clue which clearly uses days as symbolic with 1000 year periods. 6 days after his resurrection He tells his disciples that His ‘perfection’ will be ‘in the third day.’ Luke 13:32. Does this not also imply just as Hosea does that his millennial reign (1000 years) will begin after 2,000 years ?
Beloved. We are all privileged to be living nearly 2000 years from our Lord’s resurrection which marked the beginning of 2000 years of a Christian church age that is surely near its completion.
120 is made up of three forties (3×40=120). Applied to time therefore it signifies a divinely appointed period of probation, Genesis 6:3.
Applied to persons it points to a divinely appointed number during a period of waiting, Acts 1:15.
WOW! What an amazing book…..

Wouldn’t Genesis 6:3 mean simply that in 120 years from the time of that announcement, God would send the Flood . . . ?
This is a little old but still relevant blog – thanks. Like many, I was expecting the LORD’s return in 2017 – 120 jubilees and other signs. Much has happened – now Feb 2021, this pestilence described in Isaiah 26:19-21 so once again, I’m expecting the LORD’s return shortly. The torahcalendar.com pins the 6001st year starting in only a few weeks. With the book of truth (mostly Dan 11) we can know much more as to our times and timing. The person who mentioned 2027 must remember to subtract 6.3 years for the final trib. I hope some will find your blog, look at the evidence, repent and be saved. Thanks for allowing my post.
Where are you getting the next Jubilee as 2027 ? That would put the last one at 1976/77. What are your sources for this?
thanks for the question. 29 ad was a jubilee. The year of the crucifixion. It was considered 33ad up untill 5 years ago when the vatican admitted and issued a pontifical proclamation to accidentally removing 4 years from the Gregorian calendar we use! So, 29,79,129,179…..1929,1979,2029. No where do I state 27 unless it is a typo. 1776, was the midpoint of the 520 cycle. It is a 260/520 cycle of kings. 1776+260=2036. The two timelines have a 7 year error in coming together….. that by chance, is the 7 years of the apophis asteroid
What are your sources that 29 AD was a Yovel/JubKlee? It also looks like you have placed Yeshua’s birth at 1 BCE since you say the year of the cruxifixion was 29 AD.
Lorna, please study “Ezekiels Jubilee” mentioned in Ezekiel and dated by most scholars as occurring in 572-574bc. understand the loss of 1/2 years due to no ZERO 0bc reckoning. Add that Luke mentions our Lords preaching in Nazareth being a jubilee year…. dates are impossible to verify this far back….but God tells us of his seasons – I believe He reckons them within the 50 year, 100 year Jubilees…. I find it likely, that the year of our Lords resurrection would have fallen on the 50th Jubilee year jubilee year and not two or three years prior …. two or three years later….
Lorna, Thanks for your wonderful questions. you got me thinking! please study Ezekiels Jubilee, pinpointed by most scholars between 572-574bc. Add the understanding that year Zero 0BC never gets reckoned correctly (we must remove 1/2 years from count). Add the Popes pontifical proclamation stating the Gregorian Calendar has a 4 year error (looking back) all the way to the Crucifixion! (simple reason why the traditional 33ad date is incorrect) stated by the pope on the week we wrote our research essay on the subject years ago! Also, study how Luke mentions that the Lords preaching in his 2nd visit to Nazareth occurred on a jubilee year, and it is considered the 3rd year of his ministry.

I agree 100% 120 x 50 = 6000 years
I heard the next jubilee year is in 2027.
Guess who’s coming to dinner .
Yes, it seems The only discrepancy between 2027 and 2029 is a 2 year period that I believe is the Miss Counting of year zero in both directions of time. BC. AD.
Absense of evidence is not evidence of absense. This forensic antimetabole is never more applicable than as to Egyptology where it is a well-known fact that negative events and defeats, such as plagues and the Exodus, are not necessarily going to be recorded in durative archaeological records (stone work) or other national archive. The Egyptians as well as most other ancient near-eastern semitic tribes did not have a culture of polico-historians like the Romans had Herodotus or Thucydides. Would we know of the details of the events of Thermopylae strictly from Persian records? No, it is primarily from Herodotus but do scholars take such pains to disprove him? Only recently has the Biblically-referenced city of Pi-Ramesse been discovered. And it shows evidence of having been devastated by plagues and subsequently abandoned, even to the note of National Geographic.
Most ancient scholars have a clear modus operandum of disproving all books of the Bible at nearly all costs unless the evidence is incontrovertable. I am so glad we have a few honest souls willing to expose this state of affairs.
