Genesis 6:1-8 The Days of Noah

Chapters 6-9 are the great flood chapters in Genesis. They describe the lead up to the flood (chap. 6), the flood itself (chap. 7-8), and the events immediately after the flood (chap. 9). The first part of chapter 6 documents the moral degeneracy and depravity of the antediluvian civilization and God's determination to judge man's wickedness. The Bible's description of Noah's day is of great significance to us as the New Testament predicts that as the second coming of Christ draws near, the climate will be very much like that of Noah's day.
