Notice: Genesis 6:5-8: Yehovah - God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And Yehovah regretted that He had made man on the earth, and it grieved him to His heart. So Yehovah said, “I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, man and animals and creeping things and birds of the heavens, for I am sorry that I have made them.” But Noah found favor in the eyes of Yehovah.
Notice: Genesis 6:12-13: And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted His way upon the earth. And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh has come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
Amazing that God looking down on the face of the earth could only see violence and that all flesh had corrupted His way upon the earth! What a devastating witness of mankind's rebellion against the Creator, their Creator. So God in His sovereignty decided to destroy all those who breathed the breath of life from off the face of the earth, human beings, and all air-breathing animals.
On what basis could God justify such action? The answer is that he told Adam that if he ate of the tree of good and evil he would die. If that sentence had been carried out immediately upon Adam's rebelling against His God then humanity would have ended at his death. But, God in His loving kindness allowed Adam to live 900+ years before he died and produced with Eve offspring. Actuarial studies have indicated with the longevity before the flood there may have been almost 1 billion people on the face of the earth just before the flood. The ark was the size of a Stanley Steamer an ocean-going vessel in the 18th Century. At any rate, God decided to end humankind in the flood, which he could have done had He allowed Adam and Eve to die immediately after they ate the forbidden fruit. Now, we see that we who are living close to the end time are here because of one righteous man Noah.
2 Peter 2:5: And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
Hebrews 11:7: By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
That is an absolute fact. Another absolute fact is that Jesus said:
Luke 17:26-27: And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
Paul says in 2 Timothy 3:1: THIS KNOW, THAT IN THE LAST DAYS PERILOUS TIMES SHALL COME.
Indeed, we all need to prepare now for what is soon coming upon this world just before the return of the Lord Jesus. We know that there were 2,000 years from Adam to Abraham and 2,000 years from Abraham to Jesus and 2000 years to the end if indeed God has allowed 6,000 for man to see if they are able to rule over themselves in peace. That has not been the history of mankind, just the opposite and in the end, there will be the same violence and all flesh is now corrupting His way upon the earth. Are we ready for what is soon coming?
We need to draw very close to our God and our Father Yehovah and the Lord Jesus His beloved son to receive more of the power of the spirit to guide us through these terrible times that are soon coming to this world. Realize that our God will always provide a way of protection for those who are His people. Draw close to Him and His precious son now!
In the meantime, we are to be a witness and proclaim the message that the God and Father of the Lord Jesus gave to him to give to us. The kingdom message!
