While some of us hear that his word would not always strive with man, the meaning of which is evident by the reference to the days of man being 120 years.
Genesis 6:1-8
King James Version
6 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
3 And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
6 And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
7 And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.
Let me guess, your opinion is that the 120 years refers unto the number of years to the great flood where the waters upon the earth rose above the highest mountain until all the land was covered under water.
Perhaps 120 years is simply long enough to understand the exists of the Eternal Lord God Almighty.
So what do you think the LORD covered the earth with like a garment?
Isaiah 51:6
New International Version
Lift up your eyes to the heavens, look at the earth beneath; the heavens will vanish like smoke, the earth will wear out like a garment and its inhabitants die like flies. But my salvation will last forever, my righteousness will never fail.
When you figure what that was then it will come to pass that when the LORD brings a cloud over the earth that the bow shall be seen in the cloud. In the interim, I will just aver to Psalms 90:12.
Psalm 90:12-17
New International Version
12 Teach us to number our days,
that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
13 Relent, Lord! How long will it be?
Have compassion on your servants.
14 Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love,
that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.
15 Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us,
for as many years as we have seen trouble.
16 May your deeds be shown to your servants,
your splendor to their children.
17 May the favor[
a] of the Lord our God rest on us;
establish the work of our hands for us—
yes, establish the work of our hands.
I don't understand your question.
