Well I do not know if this needed a smiley for tongue in cheek or not
since it was not there. All I do know is that if you reference the Old
Testament men on a time  line and look at the age of methusaleh then the
time line ends with the flood. I conclude that he died in the same year
of the flood which brings the hypothesis that he did in fact die in the
flood. I challenged my tenn class when I taught them  (I teach the
younger kids now) that they should consider just how old he may have
lived to if he did not die. 

Not a salvation point but then neither again is if Jepthnah litterally
sacrificed his daughter- just good start for discussion to show that the
Scripture is still true.
