He Was Grieved In His Heart Genesis 6:5 Times of Noah: Evil continually (6:5). Sons of God took the daughters of men (6:2). Wickedness on earth was great (6:5). Noah forshadowing Christ

He Was Grieved In His Heart Genesis 6:6 God saw the evil (6:5). All seeing eye. Never ignorant. Knew the heart and intent. Could not go unpunished! Gen 6:3; “Then the LORD said, " My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; nevertheless his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.“ Gen 6:7; “The LORD said, " I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the sky; for I am sorry that I have made them." Noah forshadowing Christ

He Was Grieved In His Heart Genesis 6:6 God also saw the good (6:8). God not only sees the evil people and their deeds but also the good people and their deeds. Admonition to all that we cannot escape the all-seeing eyes of the Lord (Revelation 1:14). Noah forshadowing Christ

Noah’s Destruction Is A Foreshadow 2 Peter 3:5-7; “For when they maintain this, it escapes their notice that by the word of God the heavens existed long ago and the earth was formed out of water and by water, 6 through which the world at that time was destroyed, being flooded with water. 7 But by His word the present heavens and earth are being reserved for fire, kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.” God's Promises Noah forshadowing Christ

Noah’s Destruction Is A Foreshadow Destroyed by water. Noah was a preacher of righteousness. Preached to the people with the Spirit of Jesus (1 Peter 3:18-19). People refused to obey and were destroyed because of their wickedness. Reserved by God’s word. Word that we preach (gospel truth) will judge people to heaven or hell. 1 Peter 3:3-9. BUT IT IS NOT OUR FAULT! Noah forshadowing Christ

Noah forshadowing Christ Lessons From The Flood God Did It! Noah forshadowing Christ

Noah forshadowing Christ God sent the flood (2 Peter 2:5). Noah did not call upon the Lord. Noah did not desire the flood. Noah did not punish the people. Noah lived righteously, his life and conduct were different than the norm (Genesis 6:5-8) Noah’s faith condemned the world (Hebrews 11:7). But the sins of mankind caused God to react with the flood (John 3:19-21). Don’t blame God! Noah forshadowing Christ

Noah forshadowing Christ Grade On A Curve? Noah preached for 100 years (2 Peter 2:5; Genesis 32; 7:5-6; 2 Timothy 4:2-5). The message he preached was the same, it did not change to please men or to allow more to be saved. Our message today should not be changed today in order to suit ourselves or others. “Let’s not be too direct.” “You don’t need to preach on that, you might offend people.” Preach the word is a command that teaches to preach as received from the Holy Spirit. 1 Corinthians 9:17; 1 Thessalonians 2:1-9; Romans 3:1-6; 1 Timothy 6:20; 2 Timothy 4:2 Noah forshadowing Christ
