WHY OUR LIFE SPAN IS AROUND 70
An amazing verse in scripture comes to mind when talking about our age limit.
Lets examine it:
Psalms 90:10 The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
Psalms says our years are around seventy and some will live longer yet those years after seventy will be ones of sorrow and weakness. As I saw this I was amazed at its accuracy even in our day and time with all the technologies and advancements we have life lasts, in general, this long. After seventy we start to decline and weakness and pains set in due to our bodys deteriating. Sorrows may also mean being alone and seeing the ones we grow up with all dying off and being left alone. There is great truth in this. Sorrows could also be attributed to the pains of the body. We dont know exactly what is meant here.
Now there have been life spans less than this due to conditions of certain generations but the fact remained seventy was the cap on good health. All the life spans varying differently at times were shorter in length not longer. Seventy even in those generations would be an accurate statement on the cut off of mans life because they werent exceeding it in good health. The verse once again shows Gods perfect word and its accuracy.
