I've been using the TNIV and Message versions of the Bible for this and for the first verse from Genesis I looked at the TNIV and it starts out "Now the earth was corrupt." Now, I have no idea how many years have passed between the garden of Eden and the day that Noah was asked to build the ark (I googled it...) but I know that Noah was 500 years old at the time. So we're talking probably thousands of years where humans were screwing things up. It almost seems at this point that God is just going to finally get ticked at people and wipe them all out. But there was Noah. Noah was a good man and God thought that he should build an ark, which by the way is about 4 times as long as my church about 5 as wide and a whole lot taller, which would fit Noah, his sons, and their wives, plus two of every animal. Once that was done the earth was pretty much wiped out. How's that for a loving God?
Have you noticed that every night so far, it's been the same thing? People mess up and God still wants to take care of them. And we have the promise that another flood like that will never happen again.
