The Flood and Judgement

View All Lessons

The destruction of the world before the flood is a picture of the judgment that shall take place in the last days. All those who set their hearts against the Lord will perish. Although this is a just end that comes upon a rebellious people, it is also a sad picture. Many generations had passed since Adam transgressed. In all those years, God was “striving with man” (Genesis 6:3). However, as God was calling sinners to himself, they rebelled more and more. The same is true today. Jesus Christ commanded that the gospel be preached to every creature.
