The world production for guar gum and its derivatives is about 1.0 Million tonnes. Industrial guar gum accounts for about 70% of the total demand. Mainly it is used as a proppant transport / proppant suspending agent in Hydraulic Fracturing Process.
According to Bullingerâs book, âNumbers in Scripterâ, the number 50 is also associated with judgment. The flood was upon the earth for 150 days (50Ã3). In summary, a Biblical generation is sometimes 40 years, 50 years, 70 years, and 100 years. 40 years seems to be a period for complete testing; 50 years is a period of release and deliverance; 70 years is a period when prophecy is completed; and 100 years appears to be the longest period for God dealing with Israel.
Remember, a generation and a lifespan are not the same. A generation is defined as the time from a manâs birth until the birth of his first child, not until his death. There isnât any Biblical support for either a 100 year generation or a 100 year lifespan. Psalm 90:10 says the average manâs life span is 70-80 years, and thatâs where I got the number from. Those who advocate a 100 year generation usually cite Genesis 15:12-16 where 400 years and 4 generations are both mentioned.
