Methuselah lived in the world described in Genesis 1-9. This world was physically different to ours - it contained Eden which was originally designed for eternal life. Characteristics of a perfect world include a sun that would not cause sunburn or cancer, and a world with no famines or plagues or earthquakes or other annoying things. Though the ground was cursed after Adam's sin, that world still was a far better place to live than our world, even after the curse.
That world can be thought of as a parallel universe to ours. That's why the geography of Genesis 2 doesn't fit in our world (e.g. the Tigris and Euphrates rivers flow in the wrong direction). There were two crossings from that world to our world: the first by Cain, who was cast into our world for murdering his brother (that's why Cain had someone to fear and marry after his punishment - he feared the people in our world who were already here when he arrived). The second crossing was by the ark of Noah. After that once-perfect world was destroyed by the Great flood, and after the waters of that flood receded, Noah and the ark were miraculously transported by God into our world. That's why God needed to teach Noah about rainbows (which Noah hadn't seen before he exited the ark), and about animals fearing him (in the perfect world, humans didn't eat animals). That's also why the lifespans of Noah's descendants were so much less than the lifespans of his ancestors - it's much harder to live in our fallen world than it was to live in the once-perfect world.
So in short, Methuselah lived in the 'pre-flood world' - a much nicer place than our world! For more detail, see related link below.

Methuselah is mentioned in several books of the Bible. Mentioned in Genesis at first, then he is mentioned in Chronicles, and is also mentioned in the book of Luke.
According to the Book of Genesis, Methuselah was grandfather of Noah, as well as the oldest living person, surviving to 969 years old. Although nothing evil is said of him, it can be shown that his death would have occurred in the year of Noah's Flood.The number 17 is a particularly propitious number that we find associated in the Bible with all the most important Israelite leaders and ancestral figures. Methuselah is special because he was the Bible's oldest living human and because there is a special pattern in his life: he became a father at 187 (11x17) and died at 969 (57x17).
