Have you ever heard the phrase, "that's as old as Methuselah"?  Many people say it not even knowing a thing about Methuselah.  The phrase's origin comes from the fact that Methuselah lived to be 969 years old, which makes him the oldest person to have ever lived.  He was the son of Enoch and the grandfather of Noah.  He lived in the period before the flood, where life spans were much longer than what we see today.  Methuselah was also the 8^th generation.

What is so incredible about Methuselah is that his entire life was a sign to the people.  Our world is full of signs.  Signs tell us something, lead us somewhere, or try to keep us safe.  Throughout our lives, God gives us and shows us many signs to attempt to lead us in the right direction.  He doesn't just sit back in heaven and hope we figure it out on our own.  Now you might be more of a skeptic, when it comes to signs.  Maybe you view things as a "coincidence", but maybe, just maybe, God is trying to tell you something.
