One Hundred and Twenty Years

(Footnotes and citations are pending.)

        In Genesis, GOD SAID that HIS SPIRIT shall not always STRIVE with man since man is also flesh, therefore man's days would be limited to one hundred and twenty years. At the time GOD was recorded as having SAID this, the average human lifespan fell between nine hundred years and one thousand years, roughly eight times longer than the hundred-and-twenty-year limit humanity suffers today. Two factors brought about this limitation, the first of which being the global flood caused by the radical abuse of superhuman powers, and the second of which being the DIVISION of humanity into numerous language-groups, races, and blood-types. The first factor was brought about by a corrupt humanity, even though GOD CLAIMED Full Responsibility for it, much like a parent claiming full responsibility for the publicly destructive actions of his or her spoiled-rotten child. The second factor was pretty much like that same parent, having fully gotten fed up with that same child's disrespectful and destructive behavior, hauling off and giving that child a spanking to be remembered for the rest of Eternity, and then grounding that child for a week. (And since a day with the LORD is as a thousand years, one week would amount to seven thousand years, which sounds like a perfectly good spiritual grounding.) As a being who was MADE in the IMAGE of GOD, man had to realize that he was Responsible for Relying on GOD in every way, and that this Reliance was (and is) necessary for man's very right to exist. But man, with his selfish, rebellious god-complex (well, he was CREATED after GOD'S LIKENESS), did not want to Rely on GOD for his own Power, and that is what has consistently done man in.
        When GOD DIVIDED the human race in order to STOP the Babel Project, HE also MANIPULATED human genetics to IMPOSE further limits on human longevity and superhuman power. Evidence of this can be seen in the sudden drop in longevity between the patriarch Eber and his son Peleg, whom Eber so named because of being born after humanity was DIVIDED. In the Book of Genesis, Peleg's own father Eber outlived him by 191 years, even though Eber was 34 years of age when Peleg was born. But that wasn't all. Eber's father Salah outlived Peleg by 130 years, Salah's father Arphaxad outlived Peleg by 100 years, Arphaxad's father Shem outlived Peleg by 160 years, and Shem's father Noah outlived Peleg by 10 years. Peleg died at age 239 while his father Eber outlived him and died at age 464. Peleg's own great-great-great-grandson Abram (also known as Abraham, the great man of faith), born when Peleg was age 191, died at age 175. This means that Eber outlived Abraham by 64 years, Salah outlived Abraham by 3 years, and Shem outlived Abraham by 33 years. This also means that Shem, who may have very well been quite physically fit at age 567, watched as faithful Abraham died of old age at 175. It is quite apparent that GOD drastically ALTERED our chromosomes, which included the extreme SHORTENING of our telomeres, the chromosomal end-caps that determine when cells cease from regenerative division and die without replacement. Not only did those genetic limitations cause protein synthesis and DNA repair to malfunction far sooner than before, but they also introduced an even more dangerous defect, cancer. After the Tower of Babel, every human body has had to deal with and destroy some form of cancer at multiple points in time. Most of us are entirely unaware of these internal "cancer wars" because the cancer cells go through multiple cellular division processes so quickly, they completely exhaust their chromosomal telomeres and die, making it easy for the immune system to quickly destroy all the cancer cells and clean up the mess. But within those people dying of cancer, the telomeres within the cancer cells have been lengthened through telomerase, which means that the cells now wildly multiply at a rate far beyond the immune system's capacity to stop them, literally choking the victim's vital organs and tissues to death with their horrific numbers. Since a technologically advanced human race would have considered telomerase as a means of re-extending human longevity to its previous length of five hundred to one thousand years, with five hundred years being the average lifespan around the Tower of Babel, and one thousand years around the Antediluvian Age, cancer acts as a booby-trap against such genetic manipulation. The moment anyone tries to use telomerase to extend his or her lifespan is the moment he or she dies of cancer. Furthermore, the fact that our chemical and nuclear technologies produce carcinogens, substances and radiations that trigger fatal cancer within a victim, also poses obstacles and limitations against extreme technological advancement in those fields. It is quite apparent that we were to never again become the Antediluvian Abomination responsible for destroying an entire world. We were to never again become an immoral race of beings with godlike powers.
        Nevertheless, if anything, humanity is a determined creature, and numerous strides in genetic science and engineering will soon produce definitive cures for all forms of cancer and other genetic defects. But if humanity is not morally ready when science finally does eliminate both the longevity barrier and the biological limitations that currently prevent the human brain and nervous system from harnessing and manipulating quantum energy and supernatural powers on a massive scale, then may GOD HAVE MERCY on our souls.
