Genesis 6

(Reading Chapter 6)
Human Wickedness

6 When people had spread all over the world, and daughters were
being born, 2 some of the heavenly beings saw that these young
women were beautiful, so they took the ones they liked. 3 Then the
LORD said, “I will not allow people to live forever; they are mortal. From
now on they will live no longer than 120 years.”
4 In those days, and even later, there were giants on the earth who

were descendants of human women and the heavenly beings. They

were the great heroes and famous men of long ago.
5 When the LORD saw how wicked everyone on earth was and how evil

their thoughts were all the time, 6 he was sorry that he had ever made
them and put them on the earth. He was so filled with regret 7 that he
said, “I will wipe out these people I have created, and also the animals
and the birds, because I am sorry that I made any of them.” 8 But the
LORD was pleased with Noah.
Noah
9-10Thisis the story of Noah. He had three sons, Shem, Ham, and
Japheth. Noah had no faults and was the only good man of his time.
He lived in fellowship with God, 11 but everyone else was evil in God's
sight, and violence had spread everywhere. 12 God looked at the world
and saw that it was evil, for the people were all living evil lives.
13 God said to Noah, “I have decided to put an end to all people. I will

destroy them completely, because the world is full of their violent

deeds. 14 Build a boat for yourself out of good timber; make rooms in it
and cover it with tar inside and out. 15 Make it 450 feet long, 75 feet
wide, and 45 feet high. 16 Make a roof for the boat and leave a space
of 18 inches between the roof and the sides. Build it with three decks
and put a door in the side. 17 I am going to send a flood on the earth to
destroy every living being. Everything on the earth will die, 18 but I will
make a covenant with you. Go into the boat with your wife, your sons,
and their wives. 19-20 Take into the boat with you a male and a female
of every kind of animal and of every kind of bird, in order to keep them
alive. 21 Take along all kinds of food for you and for them.”
22 Noah did everything that God commanded.

A conversation , Genesis Chapter 6

J . Verse 5 tells us that “ everyone on the earth was wicked and their
thoughts were evil all of the time” How did mankind come to this ?
G . In brief, human nature and desires had made chaos of God’s
ordered world. Human desires are something that must be bridled and
directed. Parents set boundaries for childrens desires in order to keep
them healthy and teach them to be self disciplined. If we don’t learn
to be so we become dysfunctional, and we must keep disciplining our
desires on an ongoing basis.God prescribes boundaries for us in the
Bible. These channel our desires towards the will of God and with that,
the Spirit of God helps us to overcome them. At the time of Noah , we
see what undisciplined human desire had brought the world to…
chaos.
J . The exception seems to have been the man Noah. What was so
special about him ?
G . Verse 9 tells us simply that “Noah lived in fellowship with God”
Later when we get to the book of Hebrews we will read that “ Noah
turned his back on the world and became an heir of righteousness
which comes by faith” God wants to fill us with His desires thereby
firstly overcoming our human desires and secondly through faith
releasing us into the blessed life that He has planned for us. Turning
his back on the popular opinion of the day cannot have been easy for
Noah, but because he was in tune with God’s spirit, he knew that his
security and happiness came from wanting what is best (God’s will)
and not from getting what was considered desireable at the time. This
allowed him to respond in faith when God warned him about the
coming flood and directed him to build the ark.
J . Well what about this ark….should we take this literally or just as a
legend ?
G. Theres plenty of evidence both cultural and scientific of a huge
flood at this time, but rather than focus on that its better that we
look at what the point of the story of the flood is for us today . That
point is to highlight how God could and perhaps should respond to
human sin. Mankinds sin deserves judgement….this is what the story
of the flood shows.It demonstrates the justice of God in response to
sin. But God’s desire is always to express love and in the story of
Noah we see a glimpse of the ultimate act of love that Jesus crucified
represents. In the time of noah, God unleashed his judgement on the
world but saved noah and those of his household because Noah was
a Godly man. So too will God save those who are of thenhousehold of
Christ Jesus. Jesus is the ark(of salvation) from judgement for all those
who trust in Him.
J . Verse 10 tells us that Noah was “ the only good man of his time”
but his three sons, their wives as well as Noah’s wife by implication
not Godly people, were also taken onto the ark….how come ?
G. God holds the man to be the head of the household and we will see
in many of the exciting Bible books to come, examples of God
blessing a whole extended family because of a mans faith. The Bible
tells us that “the prayer of a righteous man has a powerfull affect”
and elsewhere that it is the responsility of the man to provide for his
household. In God’s economy, that provision is built on the foundation
of fellowship with God in prayer and we can safely assume that Noah
spent a lot of time in prayer for his own and the marriages of his sons.
