Genesis 6 ...
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.
9 These are the generations of Noah:Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God. 10 And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
(God defined violence to me as: man seeking to get what he wants without regard for what it will do to others ...)
12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
13
And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the
earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy
them with the earth.
(But God makes a way of escape for Noah.)
14 Make thee an ark
of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it
within and without with pitch. 15 And this is the fashion which thou
shalt make it of:The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits,
the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits. 16 A
window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it
above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with
lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.
17
And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to
destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and
every thing that is in the earth shall die.
18
But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into
the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons 'wives with
thee. 19 And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt
thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be
male and female. 20 Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their
kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every
sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive. 21 And take thou unto
thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee; and it
shall be for food for thee, and for them.
22 Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.
Genesis 7 ...
1 And the Lord said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into
the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation. 2
Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his
female:and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his
female. 3 Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female;
to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.
4
For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty
days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I
destroy from off the face of the earth.
5
And Noah did according unto all that the Lord commanded him. 6 And Noah
was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
(This is the first time rain had fallen on the earth.)
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.
Noah
condemned the world because he (Noah) believed God and the world did not
believe God. Each time we believe and others do not believe, we who
believe condemn by our actions those who do not believe.
