Scriptures Tell us the Truth about Human Lifespans

Garden of Eden before the fall, Adam and Eve were created to be immortals, just like the angels.

God said: “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” Genesis 2:16-17
They disobeyed, and did die. Adam lived over 900 years and died.
Then more disobedience and sin plagued mankind. They continually did evil. The fallen angels taught them technology, science and witchcraft. Some men spent a life time (500 to 800 years) in developing evil sciences. They had time to research, test, implement, improve all sorts of techs and science. They even learned and practiced genetic modifications on men and animals.
Genesis 6:12 So God looked upon the earth, and indeed it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.
Jubilees 5:3 And YAHWEH looked upon the earth, and behold it was corrupt, and all flesh had corrupted its orders, and all that were upon the earth had wrought all manner of evil before His eyes.
Jasher 4:18 And their judges and rulers went to the daughters of men and took their wives by force from their husbands according to their choice, and the sons of men in those days took from the cattle of the earth, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, and taught the mixture of animals of one species with the other, in order therewith to provoke YAHWEH; and YAHWEH saw the whole earth and it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted its ways upon earth, all men and all animals.
Then God decided to wipe it all out: THE FLOOD.
God said said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.” Genesis 6:3
This is how today almost none live more than 120 years.
Zechariah 14:1 Behold, the day of the Lord is coming,
When Christ returns to make the world his Millennial Kingdom to Reign on earth as King of kings, the curse of 120 years will be lifted and men once more will live nearly a thousand years, that is if they don't sin. "the wages of sin is death" Romans 6:23
Then will come the ultimate and last test for humanity, when Satan and his fallen angels are released to deceive mankind. Some will (to hard for them to live by God's laws) war against God, others will remain faithful. What will follow is Judgement Day: Lake of Fire or Life Eternal as God intended when he created MAN.
Revelation 20
And God will live among his people.

Jasher, Chapter 1

1 And YAHWEH said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness, and YAHWEH created man in his own image.
2 And YAHWEH formed man from the ground, and he blew into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul endowed with speech.
3 And YAHWEH said, It is not good for man to be alone; I will make unto him a helpmeet.
4 And YAHWEH caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept, and he took away one of his ribs, and he built flesh upon it, and formed it and brought it to Adam, and Adam awoke from his sleep, and behold a woman was standing before him.
5 And he said, This is a bone of my bones and it shall be called woman, for this has been taken from man; and Adam called her name Eve, for she was the mother of all living.
6 And YAHWEH blessed them and called their names Adam and Eve in the day that he created them, and YAHWEH the ALMIGHTY said, Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.
7 And YAHWEH the ALMIGHTY took Adam and his wife, and he placed them in the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it; and he commanded them and said unto them, From every tree of the garden you may eat, but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat thereof you shall surely die.
8 And when YAHWEH had blessed and commanded them, he went from them, and Adam and his wife dwelt in the garden according to the command which YAHWEH had commanded them.
9 And the serpent, which YAHWEH had created with them in the earth, came to them to incite them to transgress the command of YAHWEH which he had commanded them.
10 And the serpent enticed and persuaded the woman to eat from the tree of knowledge, and the woman hearkened to the voice of the serpent, and she transgressed the word of YAHWEH, and took from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and she ate, and she took from it and gave also to her husband and he ate.
11 And Adam and his wife transgressed the command of YAHWEH which he commanded them, and YAHWEH knew it, and his anger was kindled against them and he cursed them.
12 And YAHWEH the ALMIGHTY drove them that day from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which they were taken, and they went and dwelt at the east of the garden of Eden; and Adam knew his wife Eve and she bore two sons and three daughters.
13 And she called the name of the first born Cain, saying, I have obtained a man from YAHWEH, and the name of the other she called Abel, for she said, In vanity we came into the earth, and in vanity we shall be taken from it.
14 And the boys grew up and their father gave them a possession in the land; and Cain was a tiller of the ground, and Abel a keeper of sheep.
15 And it was at the expiration of a few years, that they brought an approximating offering to YAHWEH, and Cain brought from the fruit of the ground, and Abel brought from the firstlings of his flock from the fat thereof, and YAHWEH turned and inclined to Abel and his offering, and a fire came down from YAHWEH from heaven and consumed it.
16 And unto Cain and his offering YAHWEH did not turn, and he did not incline to it, for he had brought from the inferior fruit of the ground before YAHWEH, and Cain was jealous against his brother Abel on account of this, and he sought a pretext to slay him.
17 And in some time after, Cain and Abel his brother, went one day into the field to do their work; and they were both in the field, Cain tilling and ploughing his ground, and Abel feeding his flock; and the flock passed that part which Cain had ploughed in the ground, and it sorely grieved Cain on this account.
18 And Cain approached his brother Abel in anger, and he said unto him, What is there between me and you, that you come to dwell and bring your flock to feed in my land?
19 And Abel answered his brother Cain and said unto him, What is there between me and you, that you shall eat the flesh of my flock and clothe thyself with their wool?
20 And now therefore, put off the wool of my sheep with which you hast clothed thyself, and recompense me for their fruit and flesh which you hast eaten, and when you shall have done this, I will then go from your land as you hast said?
21 And Cain said to his brother Abel, Surely if I slay you this day, who will require your blood from me?
22 And Abel answered Cain, saying, Surely YAHWEH who has made us in the earth, he will avenge my cause, and he will require my blood from you shouldst you slay me, for YAHWEH is the judge and arbiter, and it is he who will requite man according to his evil, and the wicked man according to the wickedness that he may do upon earth.
23 And now, if you shouldst slay me here, surely YAHWEH knows your secret views, and will judge you for the evil which you didst declare to do unto me this day.
24 And when Cain heard the words which Abel his brother had spoken, behold the anger of Cain was kindled against his brother Abel for declaring this thing.
25 And Cain hastened and rose up, and took the iron part of his ploughing instrument, with which he suddenly smote his brother and he slew him, and Cain spilt the blood of his brother Abel upon the earth, and the blood of Abel streamed upon the earth before the flock.
26 And after this Cain repented having slain his brother, and he was sadly grieved, and he wept over him and it vexed him exceedingly.
27 And Cain rose up and dug a hole in the field, wherein he put his brother's body, and he turned the dust over it.
28 And YAHWEH knew what Cain had done to his brother, and YAHWEH appeared to Cain and said unto him, Where is Abel your brother that was with you?
29 And Cain dissembled, and said, I do not know, am I my brother's keeper? And YAHWEH said unto him, What hast you done? The voice of your brother's blood cries unto me from the ground where you hast slain him.
30 For you hast slain your brother and hast dissembled before me, and didst imagine in your heart that I saw you not, nor knew all your actions.
31 But you didst this thing and didst slay your brother for naught and because he spoke rightly to you, and now, therefore, cursed be you from the ground which opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand, and wherein you didst bury him.
32 And it shall be when you shall till it, it shall no more give you its strength as in the beginning, for thorns and thistles shall the ground produce, and you shall be moving and wandering in the earth until the day of your death.
33 And at that time Cain went out from the presence of YAHWEH, from the place where he was, and he went moving and wandering in the land toward the east of Eden, he and all belonging to him.
34 And Cain knew his wife in those days, and she conceived and bare a son, and he called his name Enoch, saying, In that time YAHWEH began to give him rest and quiet in the earth.
35 And at that time Cain also began to build a city: and he built the city and he called the name of the city Enoch, according to the name of his son; for in those days YAHWEH had given him rest upon the earth, and he did not move about and wander as in the beginning.
36 And Irad was born to Enoch, and Irad begat Mechuyael and Mechuyael begat Methusael.

The Book of Enoch: Chapters XXV - XXXV

Chapter XXV

1. From thence I proceeded to the middle of the earth, and beheld a happy and fertile spot, which contained branches continually sprouting from the trees which were planted in it. There I saw a holy mountain, and underneath it water on the eastern side, which flowed towards the south. I saw also on the east another mountain as high as that ; and between them there were deep, but not wide valleys.
2. Water ran towards the mountain to the west of this ; and underneath there was likewise another mountain.
3. There was a valley, but not a wide one, below it; and in the midst of them were other deep and dry valleys towards the extremity of the three. All these valleys, which were deep, but not wide, consisted of a strong rock, with a tree which was planted in them. And I wondered at the rock and at the valleys, being extremely surprised.

Chapter XVI

1. Then I said. What means this blessed land, all these lofty trees, and the accursed valley between them ?
2. Then Uriel, one of the holy angels who were with me, replied, This valley is the accursed of the accursed for ever. Here shall be collected all who utter with their mouths unbecoming language against God, and speak harsh things of His glory. Here shall they be collected. Here shall be their territory.
o. In the latter days an example of judgment shall be made of them in righteousness before the saints : while those who have received mercy shall for ever, all their days, bless God, the everlasting King.
4. And at the period of judgment shall they bless Him for his mercy, as He has distributed it to them. Then I blessed God, addressing myself to Him, and making mention, as was meet, of His greatness.

Chapter XXVII

1. From thence I proceeded towards the east, to the middle of the mountain in the desert, the level surface only of which I perceived.
2. It was full of trees of the seed alluded to ; and water leaped down upon it.
3. There appeared a cataract composed as of many cataracts both towards the west and towards the east. Upon one side were trees ; upon the other water and dew.

Chapter XXVIII

1. Then I went to another place from the desert, towards the east of that mountain which I had approached.
2. There I beheld choice trees, particularly those which produce the sweet-smelling drugs, frankin- cense and myrrh; and trees unlike to each other.
3. And over it, above them, was the elevation of the eastern mountain at no great distance.

Chapter XXIX

1. I likewise saw another place with valleys of water which never wasted,
2. Where I perceived a goodly tree, which in smell resembled Zasakinon.
3. And towards the sides of these valleys I perceived cinnamon of a sweet odour. Over them I advanced towards the east.

Chapter XXX

1. Then I beheld another mountain containing trees, from which water flowed like Neketro. Its name was Sarira, and Kalboneba. And upon this mountain I beheld another mountain, upon which were trees of Alva.
2. These trees were full, like almond trees, and strong ; and when they produced fruit, it was superior to all perfume.

Chapter XXXI

1. After these things, surveying the entrances of the north, above the mountains, I perceived seven mountains replete with pure nard, odoriferous trees, cinnamon and papyrus.
2. From thence I passed on above the summits of those mountains to some distance eastwards, and went over the Erythraean sea. And when I was advanced far beyond it, I passed along above the angel Zateel, and arrived at the garden of righteousness. In this garden I beheld, among other trees, some which were numerous and large, and which flourished there.
3. Their fragrance was agreeable and powerful, and their appearance both varied and elegant. The tree of knowledge also was there, of which if any one eats, he becomes endowed with great wisdom.
4. It was like a species of the tamarind tree, bearing fruit which resembled grapes extremely tine; and its fragrance extended to a considerable distance. I exclaimed, How beautiful is this tree, and how delightful is its appearance
5. Then holy Raphael, an angel who was with me, answered and said. This is the tree of knowledge, of which thy ancient father and thy aged mother ate, who were before thee ; and who, obtaining knowledge, their eyes being opened, and knowing themselves to be naked, were expelled from the garden.

Chapter XXXII

1. From thence I went on towards the extremities of the earth ; where I saw large beasts different from each other, and birds various in their countenances and forms, as well as with notes of different sounds.
2. To the east of these beasts I perceived the extremities of the earth, where heaven ceased. The gates of heaven stood open, and I beheld the celestial stars come forth. I numbered them as they proceeded out of the gate, and wrote them all down, as they came out one by one according to their number. I wrote down their names altogether, their times and their seasons, as the angel Uriel, who was with me, pointed them out to me.
3. He showed them all to me, and wrote down an account of them.
4. He also wrote down for me their names, their regulations, and their operations.

Chapter XXXIII

1. From thence I advanced on towards the north, to the extremities of the earth.
2. And there I saw a great and glorious wonder at the extremities of the whole earth.
3. I saw there heavenly gates opening into heaven ; three of them distinctly separated. The northern winds proceeded from them, blowing cold, hail, frost, snow, dew, and rain.
4. From one of the gates they blew mildly; but when they blew from the two otJier gates, it was with violence and force. They blew over the earth strongly.

Chapter XXXIV

1. From thence I went to the extremities of the world westwards
2. Where I perceived three gates open, as I had seen in the north ; the gates and passages through them being of equal magnitude.

Chapter XXXV

1. Then I proceeded to the extremities of the earth southwards ; where I saw three gates open to the south, from which issued dew, rain, and wind.
2. From thence I went to the extremities of heaven eastwards; where I saw three heavenly gates open to the east, which had smaller gates within them. Through each of these small gates the stars of heaven passed on, and proceeded towards the west by a path which was seen by them, and that at every period of their appearance.
3. When I beheld them, I blessed ; every time in which they appeared, I blessed the Lord of glory, who had made those great and splendid signs, that they might display the magnificence of his works to angels and to the souls of men ; and that these might glorify all his works and operations ; might see the effect of his power ; might glorify the great labour of his hands ; and bless him for ever.
