How long does the bible say man shall live?

Answer 1

Psalm 90:10 hints at 70 years: "The days of our years are threescore years and ten..."

Another answerer doesn't think that this is the answer the questioner was asking for. The important part is how many God will give, and the Psalm doesn't say it's God's will that we get threescore years and ten. Some people get more, and some don't even get a year, so it is an important point.

Answer 2

Genesis 6:3 says, "Then the LORD said, "My Spirit will not contend with man forever, for he is mortal; his days will be a hundred and twenty years."

Today, no one has lived past 122 years. (I interpret the verse as the decade rather than the year 120).

Answer 3

Jesus lived for 33 1/2 years.

He presented himself to God when he turned 30 and his earthly ministry lasted 3 1/2 years.

Time of Birth, Length of Ministry.

Jesus evidently was born in the month of Ethanim (September-October) of the year 2 B.C.E., was baptized about the same time of the year in 29 C.E., and died about 3:00 p.m. on Friday, the 14th day of the spring month of Nisan (March-April), 33 C.E.

The basis for these dates is as follows:

Jesus was born approximately six months after the birth of his relative John (the Baptizer), during the rule of Roman Emperor Caesar Augustus (31 B.C.E.-14 C.E.) and the Syrian governorship of Quirinius (see REGISTRATION for the probable dates of Quirinius' administration), and toward the close of the reign of Herod the Great over Judea.-Mt 2:1, 13, 20-22; Lu 1:24-31, 36; 2:1, 2, 7.

Evidence for three-and-a-half-year ministry.

Through the remaining chronological evidence an even more definite conclusion can be reached. This evidence deals with the length of Jesus' ministry and time of death. The prophecy at Daniel 9:24-27 (discussed fully in the article SEVENTY WEEKS) points to the appearance of the Messiah at the start of the 70th "week" of years (Da 9:25) and his sacrificial death in the middle or "at the half" of the final week, thereby ending the validity of the sacrifices and gift offerings under the Law covenant. (Da 9:26, 27; compare Heb 9:9-14; 10:1-10.) This would mean a ministry of three and a half years' duration (half of a "week" of seven years) for Jesus Christ.

Summary of evidence.

Summing up, then, since Jesus' death took place in the spring month of Nisan, his ministry, which began three and a half years earlier according to Daniel 9:24-27, must have begun in the fall, about the month of Ethanim (September-October). John's ministry (initiated in Tiberius' 15th year), then, must have begun in the spring of the year 29 C.E. John's birth therefore would be placed in the spring of the year 2 B.C.E., Jesus' birth would come about six months later in the fall of 2 B.C.E., his ministry would start about 30 years later in the fall of 29 C.E., and his death would come in the year 33 C.E. (on Nisan 14 in the spring, as stated).
