They wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.
Ever wonder where “cavemen” came from? The Bible mentions cavemen several times, including Job 30:3-83For want and famine they were solitary; fleeing into the wilderness in former time desolate and waste. 4Who cut up mallows by the bushes, and juniper roots for their meat. 5They were driven forth from among men, (they cried after them as after a thief;) 6To dwell in the clifts of the valleys, in caves of the earth, and in the rocks. 7Among the bushes they brayed; under the nettles they were gathered together. 8They were children of fools, yea, children of base men: they were viler than the earth. (Job 30:3‑8). All references to cavemen are after the flood of Noah’s time, that is, in the last 4300 years of the earth’s history. The remains of cavemen are not tens of thousands or millions of years old as some scientists, so-called, would have you believe. God’s Word gives some very simple but powerful explanations for people and things that some men would try to make very complicated. And Hebrews 11:3838(Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth. (Hebrews 11:38) tells us some “cavemen” will be in heaven. It’s going to be great to visit with some of our “Neanderthal” brethren and talk about Jesus and His glory.
