572. Verse 3. And Jehovah said, My spirit shall not reprove man forever, for that he is flesh; and his days shall be a hundred and twenty years. By “Jehovah’s saying My spirit shall not always reprove man” is signified that man would not be so led any longer; “for that he is flesh” signifies because he had become corporeal; “and his days shall be a hundred and twenty years” signifies that he ought to have remains of faith. It is also a prediction concerning a future church.
