    A generation is 40 years.

    If it was 120, wee'd be extinct.

    40 years? A Generation today is 20 years, but back then it was hundreds of years. How old was Adam and Eve when they had Seth? (And remember, they had OTHER sons and daughters AFTER Seth)...You must consider all things when considering history from a Biblical (correct) viewpoint.

    It's not explicit, but God made the Israelites wait 40 years (generation) before they entered the Promised land.

    Brother Carl, may CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.

    You said God made the Israelites wait 40 years (generation)....

    God made them wait 40 years (judgement)....

    Numbers 14:34 After the number of days in which you searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall you bear your INIQUITIES, even forty years, and you shall know my breach of promise.

    God bless
