According to Genesis chapter 12:4 says that Abram was 75 years old when he left Haran. This is consistent with the various ages associated with key events in the life of Abram, later known as Abraham. Genesis 17:17 says that Abraham was exactly 100 years old and Sarah was 90 years old when Isaac was born.
Even when Abraham died, his age points to the secret use of numerology based on the number 17:
- Abraham lived to 175 (5 X 5 X 7)
- Isaac lived to 180 (6 X 6 X 5)
- Jacob lived to 147 (7 X 7 X 3

Where is the first reference to saints in the old testament?
Answer: Saints are first mentioned in Deuteronomy 33:2 "...he came with ten thousands of saints....."
However due to chronology (not all books were written at the same time nor in the same order in which they are placed in the Bible) it is possible that Job 5:1 "...to which of the saints wilt thou turn..." could have been written earlier in time -if the idea that Job was written early (around the time of Abraham) is accepted, although this is by no means certain

What is instantaneous creation?
that is when something is brought into existence the moment you decide you need it
___________________________________
Instantaneous creation is the act of a being (usually a non-corporeal being or NCB) causing something to begin to exist without any raw materials or physical processes.
Generally, there are three beliefs that most people have for how all of the species of Earth began to exist:
- Creationists believe that God, the Supreme Being Who entered into a covenant with Abraham, father of Isaac, and his descendants thousands of years ago, caused all species to begin to exist simply by saying so, as recorded in the first chapter of the first book of the Bible.
- Evolutionists believe that each species came to be one at a time over hundreds of millions of years due to genetic mutations and the process of natural selection, as described by Charles Darwin in his book On the Origin of Species, without the direct involvement of the Supreme Being.
- The third group believes that the Supreme Being caused all species to begin to exist though mutations and the process of natural selection, and that the times given in the Biblical account of the Creation are merely symbolic.
