Adam to Noah

God created man in the likeness of Him. God created male and female in order for child birth to be possible and for God's likeness to fill the earth, they were called "man."

Following the birth of many men to the earth, and daughters born to them, men began to take the beautiful daughters for themselves. God saw this, and said, "My Spirit will not contend with man forever, for he is mortal."

Having seen the desire of man on the earth, the sheer wickedness, God began to grieve for creating man. The evil thoughts of the heart became a heavy concern and burden to God. God became filled with pain due to man's strong opposition to His Spirit.

Having seen the earth corrupted by evil and full violence, God decided to put an end to it all. Destruction became the mind of God and He instructed Noah to build an ark that would be a vessel to preserve what God desired.

God informed Noah that everything living on the earth would perish, but that He would establish a covenant with Him and spare his life. God told Noah to take two of every species and every type of food so that it would be stored for safekeeping and survival.

God's anger towards man's heart and rebellion to His Spirit was and is the reason for all of the chaos that we see today. By provoking God, mankind is without excuse. In the end when God fulfills His absolute promise to cleanse the earth of all the wickedness, man will not be able to say that God did not forewarn you. For in that very moment the evil will become obsolete and will disappear. God has mercy on those who seek His Spirit, and not the spirit that haunts the world through evil ideology in opposition to God's desire for mankind.

For there is a spirit at work in the hearts of man that is not of God. 

Ephesians 2:1-3 "And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience. Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest."
