He lived nine hundred and sixty-nine years.

No one in scripture lived longer.

And his father gave him a name that reads less like a blessing than a warning:

Methuselah — when he is gone, it shall be sent.

Genesis gives him four verses.

Four verses for the longest life ever recorded, and not one word of explanation.

This film is the rest of it.

THE ARITHMETIC NOBODY POINTS AT

The strangest thing about Methuselah is not how long he lived.

It is when he stopped. Genesis 5 says he was one hundred and eighty-seven when his son Lamech was born, and that Lamech was one hundred and eighty-two when Noah was born, which makes Methuselah three hundred and sixty-nine years old the year Noah came into the world.

Genesis 7 says Noah was six hundred when the waters came.

Three hundred and sixty-nine, and six hundred, is nine hundred and sixty-nine.

The oldest man who ever lived died in the year of the flood.

The text does not draw attention to it.

It simply lets the numbers sit in two different chapters and waits for someone to add them up.

New York Post : Shocking number of Gen Z shut-ins report zero face-to-face human interactions per day after COVID

COVID created a permanent class of young shut-ins, according to a stunning new report.

Nearly 10% of Gen Zers said they had zero face-to-face interactions with another person in their daily life, according to an analysis of US Census data by the Financial Times.

The dangerous trend was triggered by the COVID pandemic, when millions of young people were kept stuck inside during the years spent developing crucial social skills.

The American Time Use Survey suggested that a shocking number of these young people — age 23 to 29 — haven’t recovered.

In 2019, the last year before the pandemic, only 3% of young adults weren’t socializing face-to-face on a daily basis, but by the time COVID restrictions had eased in late 2021, that figure was almost 9%.

The figure peaked at 10% in 2023, before ticking down slightly in 2024 and 2025.

And where the most socially active segement of young people saw their social lives rebound following the pandemic, for the bottom quarter, they have not.

Before 2020, the most socially connected segment of young adults used to spend 87% of their day with other people, a figure that dropped to 78% during COVID restrictions, before rising to 83% as of 2025.

But for the most isolated segment of the young adult population, who used to spend roughly a third of their day with others, that figure collapsed to essentially zero during the pandemic and has stayed there ever since.

The annual American Time Use Survey also found Americans are spending more time on screens than they were in 2015, with daily time spent on computers and social media rising from 25 minutes a decade ago to 37 minutes in 2025.

Teenagers spent the most time on these pursuits, averaging 90 minutes per day on screens.

Also astonishing was that more than a third (35%) of those employed said they did some or all of their work from home in 2025, over three years after COVID restrictions started to eased.

Former Horizon High teacher pleads guilty to child sexual exploitation FBI: Teacher had past sexual encounters with minors, child porn

A former Horizon High School teacher pleaded guilty to sexual exploitation of a minor on Wednesday in El Paso federal court, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.

FBI agents arrested Ricardo Ortiz, now 30, when he arrived at a home to have a sexual encounter with an undercover agent posing as a 14-year-old boy that he met on social media in 2020, officials said.

The investigation found Ortiz allegedly had past sexual encounters with at least three minors in the El Paso area and child pornography was found on his electronic devices, authorities said Wednesday.

Prophecy News Watch: The Warning Lights Are Flashing: Is A Massive Strike On Iran Only Days Away?

It is impossible for anyone outside the highest levels of the White House and Pentagon to know whether a massive attack on Iran will begin within the next 72 hours.

But something is clearly happening.

The evidence is no longer based merely on anonymous social-media accounts tracking aircraft or interpreting unusual military movements. President Donald Trump has publicly confirmed that he is close to deciding whether to launch an attack on Iran that could be “bigger than ever before.” American and Israeli officials have reportedly said expanded combat operations could begin within days.

Trump has also declared that the United States will attack Iran’s deeply buried Pickaxe Mountain facility “very soon.” The underground complex near Natanz is believed by Israeli intelligence to contain thousands of centrifuges moved into tunnels hundreds of feet beneath the mountain.

These are not vague warnings about unspecified future consequences. They are descriptions of targets, weapons and operations that appear to be under active consideration.

Influencer killed by husband after she accused him of pedophilia on TikTok. From NBC News

Sara Gilson was fatally shot by estranged husband Jeremiah Duffey, who’d been accused of molesting a girl, a little over a month after she posted the video.

A social media influencer was killed by her estranged husband less than two weeks after she posted on TikTok accusing him of pedophilia, according to police and court records.

Sara Gilson was fatally shot Thursday in Owasso, Oklahoma, by husband Jeremiah Duffey, who went by Shawn Duffey on social media, according to the Owasso Police Department. She was 43.

A little over a month earlier, on June 10, she filed and was granted an emergency protective order against Duffey after police informed her he’d been accused the day prior of molesting a minor.

On July 11, Gilson posted a video on TikTok, where she had more than 30,000 followers, accusing Duffey of pedophilia.

“Preparing for when Netflix drops a documentary about my soon to be ex husband who I just found out is a pedophile,” Gilson wrote.

The video referenced a popular social media trend that mimics Netflix documentaries, with users pretending to sit for a tell-all interview. Her caption read: “I wish I was joking. #plottwist #netflix #documentary.”

Less than two weeks later, Gilson was killed.

On June 9, about a month before Gilson posted the video, a girl and a parent told police that Duffey, who coached the girl’s traveling basketball team, inappropriately touched her during an event at an elementary school earlier that evening, police said. Another team coach saw what happened and immediately intervened and reported it to the girl’s parent, police said.

“Similar conduct by this coach towards this particular juvenile player was reported to have occurred over an extended period of time, in multiple law enforcement jurisdictions, across multiple states prior to this incident,” police said Saturday.

Duffey fled and had not been seen by police since.

Because Duffey was a member of the Osage tribe and the incident at the school happened on tribal land, police said, they submitted the case for a charge of lewd molestation of a minor to the U.S. attorney’s office for review, “ending the jurisdiction of the Owasso Police Department over this reported incident.”

Following the report, police contacted Gilson and gave her information on how to seek an emergency protective order.

She did just that and the order was granted June 10, Tulsa County court records show. Duffey was ordered to stay 100 yards away from Gilson and her home at all times. The attorney who represented Duffey did not immediately respond to a request for comment Saturday.

On Thursday, officers responded to a domestic violence incident at a residence in the city of Collinsville at 11:16 p.m. after a 911 call in which dispatchers heard a woman screaming followed by “what sounded to be a gunshot,” police said. Dispatchers attempted to call back but got no answer.

Moments later, a boy called 911 from a neighbor’s home and said his stepfather had shot his mother, police said. When officers arrived at the home, they found Gilson and Duffey dead from apparent gunshot wounds to the head, police said.

Police are still investigating, but they said the deaths appear to be a murder-suicide.

Gilson’s son was taken into protective custody and later released to a parent who wasn’t involved in the incident, authorities said. Gilson leaves behind the son and a daughter.

“Sara was an incredible mom. Her children were the center of her world, and everything she did was for them,” an online fundraiser set up for the kids said. “She loved them fiercely, worked hard to provide for them, and dreamed of giving them the best life possible.”
