GENESIS 6

GOD PLANS TO SEND A FLOOD TO WIPE OUT THE WICKEDNESS IN THE WORLD

The world becomes increasingly corrupt and wicked. Every thought and intention of humanity is set continually on evil. God is grieved and regrets creating mankind. God decides to wipe out creation, man and animals, by sending a worldwide flood. 

Noah finds favor in the eyes of the Lord because he is a righteous and blameless man who walks with God. God establishes a covenant with Noah, promising to save him and his family and commanding Noah to build an ark. God then instructs Noah to gather two of every animal to keep alive on the ark. Noah does as God instructs.
