Meeting the ancient patriarchs, Job, Methuselah, Abel, Noah, and others, Rev Elwood Scott found them young with no signs of old age.
To some of these I was especially attracted. Their
great earnestness and enthusiasm and peculiar conduct, coupled with such Lovely
faces and sweet tempers invited us to go and sit among them. So I said to
Bohemond, "Let us go and talk with them and find who they are."
They welcomed us to their company. We soon found
ourselves sitting in the presence of Job and Methuselah, Abel and Noah, with
many of the earliest ancestors of the race. They all seemed full of
vigorous life with no marks of decrepit old age like we knew so much in the
world. I then quickly thought of the words of the angel to John: "Behold I
make all things new," (Revelation 21:5) and sure enough, these were among the
earliest of the race of man, made in God’s image, on whom this mighty renovating
power had come.
We had a long but very pleasant visit with them asking them many questions concerning the early history of man on the
earth. Adam and Eve were the first creation of man in the image of God. Go to Chap 15, Visit with Ancient Patriarchs for more
