The Greenland shark can live a long time! Researchers discovered that a protein found in this specific shark’s eyes formed at birth and didn’t degrade over time.

The researchers’ carbon-dated the proteins and found that the largest of the 28 sharks they studied, a 16-foot female, was likely between 272 and 512 years old—making Greenland sharks the longest-living vertebrates on Earth.

Their hyper-extended lives may be due to their slow metabolism, which helps them survive the cold Arctic waters year-round.

In fact, Greenland sharks may not even reach maturity until they’re over a century old. As amazing as this is, here’s something else that’s even more amazing:

During the Millenium (the 1,000 years after Armageddon when Christians will rule with Christ on earth before we live eternally in heaven), we’ll still be considered a teenager at 100 years of age!

Check out Isaiah 65:20-25 for the proof!

I can’t wait to live with Christ on a peace-filled earth!
And I’m excited to know I’ll get to spend eternity with Him in heaven.
Make time to thank your Savior today for blessing you with the reality
of eternity with Him.

“I give them eternal life and they shall never perish.” (John 10:28 LB)

YAHOO! We get to live longer than the Greenland sharks!

I love you!
