So Biden claimed yesterday he's bee in Senate '120 years'. Was that an accident, or an intentional CLUE?

120 years is a VERY specific number, one that cant be an accident.
Genesis 6:3 states;
Then the Lord said, “My Spirit will not contend with humans forever, for they are mortal; their days will be a hundred and twenty years.”
Now, according to the Bible, back in the days people lived to be nearly 1000 years old (supposedly), than after the flood that changed. Who knows if thats true. Could be pre-flood technology that was lost. The argument that it was 'higher oxygen levels' imo is BS. But that is all another topic.
My main point is that the 120 years isnt the length of mans actual lifespan. As humans rarely even make it to 100, most around 80 +/-, and less back in the days due to lake of health tech.
Its said that the 120 'years' was a prophecy of 'Jubilee' cycles, and that equals 6000 years from creation, which could have recently or soon be the end of the 6000 years.
That verse clearly states God is saying he would put up with humans bullshit because they are MORTAL, which implies certain humans are attempting to be IMMORTAL. Adrenochrome?
What were those called.... the Nephalim or something?
Yes, but there is quite a bit more to it. These, Genesis 6 watchers, were a group of 200 fallen angles that procreated with human women. Their offspring were called nephilim. The nephilims descendants were then called rephaim. According to Enoch, when the nephilim died their spirits had no place to go since they were half human and half deity (lower case g). Those cast away spirits are now demons. The 200, of the watchers, (don’t know how many fallen are in total, but the Bible makes reference to 1/3 being cast out of heaven/counsel) that corrupted their 1st estate (sexual relations and other extreme sinful teachings) are now in bonds within the center of the earth until judgement day.
I asked my Chabaddic Rabbi about the Nephelim. His story went like this: There were angels watching mankind, and said they were obviously evil and it was absurd that they got away with so much. G-d responded: "Being in a physical body corrupts your view of good and evil. They are limited by that, and it's why they make mistakes."
The angels were not impressed. "That's absurd. The human beings are just deviant, it has nothing to do with them being in a physical body. We would not make those kinds of mistakes, body or no body."
G-d said: "Okay, we'll see about that."
And zam, the angels were born into human bodies -- though they kept their angelic memory and consciousness.
They were corrupted immediately.
That’s a very gnostic anecdote. Almost mannachean.
Maybe. This particular Rabbis a really nice guy. I like some of his answers more than others. He sometimes veers into the real esoteric answers which might be pretty but are not satisfying.
That’s a super interesting point of view. I would recommend reading the book of Enoch (chapters 1-16 will take no time at all to read thru). You can find it free on the internet. The 2nd temple Jews held the book of Enoch in very high regards. And, it definitely fills in a lot of the Old Testaments backstories. The book of Enoch unfortunately fell out of favor with the 4th century Christians and people today seem to be strangely scared of it. I’m an ‘ole moto crosser, so I jumped right into reading it. And am so glad I did!
Hmmm, I'll have to take a look.
Some years ago I had a job that enabled me to do a lot of reading during the long-stretches of down time. I read the Tanach from Genesis to Malachi, the Gospels, and the Koran (among other things).
But I never really touched the second temple period, even things like the book of Maccabbees. I just reviewed it once when I wrote a play about Chanukah, and realized that was just a couple chapters in a much longer work.
The Nephilim, a particularly dark rabbit hole, but also related to the Great Awakening as well:

May not be orthodox, though, as a warning.
Yes unfortunately ancient faith is marginally Orthodox at best.
