Genesis 6 gives the sad account of
the state of humanity prior to the
worldwide flood during the days
of Noah. Genesis 6:5 states, “The
LORD saw how great the wickedness
of the human race had become on
the earth, and that every inclination
of the thoughts of the human heart
was only evil all the time.” The level
of sin and corruption among the
human population was staggering:
people thought about doing evil “all
the time.” For the strong and healthy
individual, an evil lifestyle would
have ramifications evidenced by
disease and death. But the weak or
unhealthy (babies, children, women,
and the disabled) would have been
immediately put in harm’s way by the
evil actions of others.

You have questions we’ve got answers
was the purpose of the
Question: What
flood in the time of Noah?
Answer: God purged the planet (the human Genome) with a Global Flood
(Genesis 6:4). The word Nephilim
is directly transliterated from the
Hebrew. The ancient root of the word
implies a “fall.” Whatever the word
actually means (in some versions of
the Bible it is translated as “giants”),
Scripture describes the Nephilim as
“the heroes of old, men of renown.”
Some theologians believe that God
could simply not allow this corrupt
offspring to exist on the earth, and
that was part of the reason for the
flood.
What can be understood without
question is that the world that
was then, the world of Noah, was
incredibly corrupt and perverted.
Genesis 6:6 tells us that “The LORD
regretted that he had made human
beings on the earth, and his heart was
deeply troubled.” The Lord’s “regret”
is unlike ours. Creating mankind in the
image of God was not a “mistake”
on the part of the Lord. The Hebrew
word nahem can also be translated
“grieved.” The depraved actions of
mankind grieved God in His most
ho ly heart.
In addition, “The sons of God saw
that the daughters of humans were
beautiful, and they married any of
them they chose” (Genesis 6:2). In
the Hebrew language, these “sons
of God” were “bene elohim.” This
term is usually applied to angels (see
Job 1:6). Genesis seems to be stating
that, somehow, there was a physical
union between angels and human God responded to man’s sin in a holy
women. The unnatural offspring and righteous manner, but also in a
of this union were the “Nephilim” way that salvaged mankind. “So the
LORD said, ‘I will wipe from the face
of the earth the human race I have
created—and with them the animals,
the birds and the creatures that move
along the ground—for I regret that I
have made them.’ But Noah found
favor in the eyes of the LORD”
(Genesis 6:7, 8). Yes, all people on
earth died except the eight people
who were found righteous in the
eyes of God: Noah, Noah’s wife, and
Noah’s three sons and their wives.
Scripture indicates that Noah testified
to the world about the coming
flood for 120 years. The people who
perished in the flood died because
they refused to acknowledge God or
seek His forgiveness. Noah, on the
other hand, is described as righteous,
blameless, and obedient in that he
“walked with God” (Genesis 6:9).
Noah and his family became our
ancestors. None of us descend from
the Nephilim or the unrighteous line
of Cain (since Noah descended from
Seth). The polluted, unrighteous
population of the world of Noah
disappeared from the earth. Mankind
was salvaged, and from the line of
righteous Noah came the Son of Man,
Jesus Christ our Lord, who died to
save those who call upon His name.
