Q

Longevity due to perfect genotype, vapor canopy, hyperbaric pressures, protection from harmful solar radiation, etc. With the collapse of the vapor canopy, mankind was exposed to harmful solar radiation (causing mutations), and lower atmospheric pressure, and changed geography and climate.

Q

In your own words, explain why the four words: People, Land, Kingdom, Remnant - are a good reminder of what God was doing in the OT times (2,000, 1,500, 1000, 500, Christ).

A

The words give perspective of “historical depth” of the OT. About 500 years developing a people in Egypt, where they are kept away from Canaanite sin. About 500 years in the Promised Land, with the Mosaic Law, but no king, only cycles of Judges. About 500 years with a King: United, Divided, Surviving, and Destruction to Captivity. About 500 years from the return of a remnant to Babylon to Christ.
