that the Patriarchs who lived before the flood had lifespans ranging from hundreds to nearly a thousand years for example Adam the first man lived 930 years Seth Adam's son lived 912 years Methuselah Noah's grandfather lived 969 years making him the oldest man of all time and Noah the protagonist of the flood lived 950 years but why did people live so long before the flood there are several theories to explain this but one of the most accepted is that the Earth's environment was much more favorable to human life due to a layer of water vapor that

surrounded the planet protecting it from solar radiation and creating a temperate and humid climate around the world this Vapor layer would have broken during the flood causing the torrential rains that flooded the Earth After the flood the climate changed drastically becoming colder and drier and solar radiation began to affect people's Health more reducing their lifespan another aspect that differentiated the World Before the Flood was the interaction between the Divine and and the human the Bible reveals that before the flood God communicated directly with some people such as Adam Eve Cain Abel Enoch and Noah he

gave them instructions warnings promises and blessings he also judged and punished them when they sinned Additionally the Bible tells us that before the flood there was a mixture between the sons of God and the daughters of men producing a race of giants called the Nephilim who who these sons of God and Daughters of men were and who the Nephilim were are questions that generate controversy and debate among Bible scholars but one of the most common interpretations is that the sons of God were Fallen Angels who rebelled against God and descended to Earth to have relations

with human women who were the daughters of men this Unholy Union produced the Nephilim who were hybrid beings with human and Angelic characteristics who became notorious ious for their strength stature and wickedness these beings were responsible for much violence and Corruption on Earth provoking God's Wrath and his judgment on Humanity but who were these fallen angels and why did they rebel against God to understand this we need to go back a bit further in time before the creation of the Earth the Bible tells us that before the creation of the earth there was God and

he had Majesty with his son Jesus God also created the Angels who were Spiritual Beings that worshiped and served him among the Angels there was one who stood out for his Beauty intelligence and power his name was Lucifer which means Morning Star he was the anointed cherub that covered the Throne of God with his wings was the leader of the angels and had access to the presence of God but he was not content with his position and wanted to be equal to God he was filled with pride envy and ambition and convinced a third of

the angels to join him in Rebellion against God he wanted to take God's place and be woried by All Creatures but God who is Sovereign and all powerful did not allow this to happen he expelled Lucifer and the rebel angels from heaven and cast them to Earth Lucifer then became known as Satan which means adversary and the rebel Angels became known as demons evil spirits in under Satan's command this marked the beginning of spiritual warfare a confrontation between two kingdoms the kingdom of God and the kingdom of Satan when God created the Earth and placed

man and woman on it made in His image and likeness Satan saw this as an opportunity to take revenge on God and Destroy his creation he considered the Earth his domain and saw Adam and Eve as Invaders he used the serpent one of the most cunning animals God had created to deceive the woman and make her doubt God's word he told her that if she ate from the forbidden fruit she would be like God knowing good and evil the woman seduced by Satan's lie ate the fruit and also gave it to the Man with her

they disobeyed God and sinned losing their communion with him and their original innocence they also lost the authority they had over the Earth and handed it over to Satan who became the prince of this world from then on sin entered humanity and brought with it death pain suffering disease violence Injustice oppression and Rebellion against God the history of humanity became a story of fall and Redemption conflict and hope judgment and Grace one of the first examples of this story was Cain and Abel sons of Adam and Eve they were brothers but had different attitudes towards

God Abel was a shepherd and offered God the best animals from his flock as a sacrifice Cain was a farmer and offered God the fruits of the Earth but without the same heart God was pleased with Abel and his offering but not with Cain and his offering this provoked Cain's anger and jealousy who did not accept God's correction and killed his brother Abel in the field God who knows all and is just saw what Cain had done and called him to account God asked Cain where Abel his brother was Cain responded with arrogance and falsehood

I do not know am I My Brother's Keeper then God said to Cain what have you done the voice of your brother's blood cries out to me from the ground and now you are cursed from the earth that opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand when you till the ground it will no longer yield its strength to you you will be a fugitive and a Wanderer on the earth then Cain said to God my punishment is great than I can bear today you have driven me from the land and I will

be hidden from your presence I will be a fugitive and a Wanderer on the earth and it will happen that anyone who finds me will kill me but God said to him not so if anyone kills Cain he will suffer Vengeance seven times over and the Lord put a mark on Cain so that no one who found him would kill him then Cain left the presence of the Lord and lived in the Land of Nod East of Eden Cain although a murderer and a fugitive was not without descendants he married a woman who was likely

one of his sisters or nieces as Adam and Eve had many sons and daughters after Cain and Abel Cain had a son named Enoch and built a city which he named after his son this was the first city in history and shows that Cain had construction and organizational skills Cain's descendants multiplied and some of them stood out for their achievements jabal was the father of those who live in tents and have livestock Jubal was the father of all who play the harp and flute tubul Kain was a master of all works of bronze and iron

and Nama was the only woman mentioned in the lineage of Cain these descendants of Cain show that Humanity expanded and diversified with roles transformed into professions and civilization took its first steps but they also also show that Humanity moved away from God and gave itself over to idolatry violence and immorality the Bible tells us that lamech a son of tubul Kain was the first polygamist in history having two wives adah and Zilla he was also a murderer who killed a man for harming him and a boy for stepping on him he boasted of his cruelty

saying to his wives listen to my voice you wives of lamech hear my words I have killed a man for wounding me and a young man for injuring me if Cain is Avenged seven times then lamech 77 times Genesis 4: 23 and 24 meanwhile Adam and Eve had another son named Seth which means substitute they gave him this name because he came as a replacement for Abel whom Cain had killed Seth was the father of Enos who was the father of Kenan who was the father of mahalalel who was the father of Jared who was

the father of Enoch who was the father of Methuselah who was the father of lamech who was the father of Noah this is the lineage of the sons of God who walked with God and worshiped him in contrast to the lineage of the sons of men who rebelled against God and despised him among the sons of God one stood out for his faith and obedience Enoch the Bible tells us that Enoch walked with God and that God took him away without him seeing death Enoch was the great grandfather of Noah and lived in a time

when most people only had records of their birth and their children but Enoch had a different testimony which made him remembered for his communion with God the Bible tells us that Enoch prophesied about God's judgment on the wicked and pleased god with his faith he was the first man taken up by God and is an example of how we should live in this world seeking God and doing his will but Enoch was an exception amid a wicked generation the Bible tells us that before the flood the world was dominated by greed evil and betrayal where

families were Battlegrounds and neighbors exploited each other the Bible tells us that the Earth was corrupt in God's eyes and full of violence and that every imagination of the thoughts of man's heart was continually only evil God saw that the wickedness of man had increased on the earth and that all flesh had corrupted its way God regretted having made man and was grieved in his heart he decided to destroy from the face of the Earth the man he had created along with animals reptiles and birds of the sky but there was one man who found

Grace in the eyes of God this man was Noah Noah was righteous and upright among his contemporaries and walked with God Noah had three sons Shem ham and japheth God chose Noah to be the guardian of a new beginning for Humanity and gave him a special mission to build an ark to save his family and the animals from the flood that would come upon them the ark was a special boat designed by God to withstand the Waters of the flood it was 300 cubits long 50 cubits wide and 30 cubits High a cubit was the

measure from the elbow to the tip of the finger approximately 18 in this means the Arc measured approximately 450 ft long 75 ft wide and 45 ft High it had three decks with various internal compartments and a window at the top of one cubit it had a side door that only God could open and close it was made of gopher wood which was a durable and waterproof wood it was covered with pitch inside and out to prevent leaks it had the capacity to house approximately 40,000 animals of different species as well as sufficient food and

water for them and Noah's family it was a masterpiece of Naval engineering and a symbol of God's grace and mercy Noah took about 120 years to build the ark following God's instructions during this time he also preached to his contemporaries warning them of the impending flood and calling them to repentance but no one listened to Noah and they continued living as if nothing was going to happen they mocked Noah and considered him a lunatic and a fanatic they did not believe that God would judge the world with water since it had never reigned on the

earth they did not know that The Fountains of the great deep would be opened and the windows of the heavens and that the waters would cover the whole earth they did not know that the day of the Lord would come like a thief in the night and that they would be caught by surprise they did not know that there was only one hope for salvation to enter the Ark by faith finally the day came when God said to Noah enter the ark you and your entire household for I have seen that you are righteous before

me in this generation of every clean animal you shall take seven pairs the male and its mate but of the animals that are not clean to the male and its mate also of the birds of the sky seven pairs male and female to keep seed alive upon the face of the whole Earth Earth for after 7 days I will cause it to rain on the earth for 40 days and 40 nights and I will wipe from the face of the Earth every living thing that I have made Genesis 7: 1:4 Noah obeyed God and entered

the Ark with his family and the animals that God had commanded him to bring he was 600 years old when the flood waters were upon the Earth on the day God had appointed The Fountains of the Great deep burst forth and the windows of the heavens were opened and it rained on the earth for 40 days and 40 nights the waters surged and greatly increased over the earth and the Ark floated on the face of the waters the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the Earth and covered all the high hills that were under the whole Heaven

15 cubits upward did the waters Prevail and the mountains were covered every living thing that moved on the Earth perished Birds livestock wild animals all the creatures that swarm over the Earth and all mankind everything on dry land that had the Breath of Life in its nostrils died thus every living thing was wiped from the face of the Earth from man to animals from creeping things to the birds of the sky they were blotted out from the earth and only Noah was left and those with him in the ark Genesis 7: 11-23 Noah and those

with him in the ark were isolated from the world for 150 days while the waters covered the Earth but God did not forget Noah and made a wind to pass over the earth and the waters began to recede The Fountains of the deep and the windows of the heavens were closed and the rain from the sky was restrained the waters receded steadily from the earth and after 150 days the waters had decreased and the Ark rested Ed in the seventh month on the 17th day of the month on the Mountains of Ararat the waters continued

to decrease until the 10th month on the first day of the 10th month the tops of the mountains became visible Genesis 8 veres 1 to 5 Noah waited another 40 days and then opened the window of the Ark he had made he sent out a raven which kept flying back and forth until the waters had dried up from the earth then he sent out a dove to see if the waters had receded from the surface of the ground but the dove found no place to rest its foot and returned to him in the ARK for

the waters were still covering the surface of the entire Earth he reached out his hand took the Dove and brought it back to the ark he waited another 7 days and again sent out the dove from the ark the Dove came back to him in the evening and there in its Beak was a freshly plucked olive leaf thus Noah knew knew that the waters had receded from the earth he waited yet another 7 days and sent the dove out again but this time it did not return to him Genesis 8: 6-12 then Noah removed the

covering of the Ark and saw that the surface of the ground was dry in the 61st year in the first month on the first day of the month the waters were dried up from the earth Noah removed the covering of the Ark and saw that the surface of the Earth was dry and in the second month on the 27th day of the month the Earth was completely dry then God spoke to Noah saying go out of the Ark you and your wife your sons and your sons wives with you bring out every living thing that

is with you of All Flesh birds and animals and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth that they may swarm on the earth be fruitful and multiply upon the Earth so Noah went out and his sons his wife and his sons wives with him every animal every creeping thing every bird and whatever moves on the Earth according to their families went out of the Ark Genesis 8: 13-19 then Noah built an altar to the Lord and took some of every clean animal and some of every clean bird and offered burnt offerings on the altar

the Lord smelled the pleasing Aroma and said in his heart I will never again curse the ground because of man for the inclination of man's heart is evil from youth nor will I ever again destroy every living creature as I have done as long as the Earth endures seed time and harvest cold and heat summer and winter day and night shall not cease Genesis 8: 20-22 and God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them be fruitful and multiply and fill the Earth the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon

every beast of the earth and upon every bird of the the heavens upon everything that creeps on the ground and all the fish of the sea into your hand they are delivered every moving thing that lives shall be food for you and as I gave you the green plants I give you everything but you shall not eat flesh with its life that is its blood and for your lifeblood I will require a reckoning from every Beast I will require it and from man from his fellow man I will require a reckoning for the life of

man whoever shed the blood of Man by man shall his blood be shed for God made man in his own image and you be fruitful and multiply team on the earth and multiply in it Genesis 9: 1-7 and God said to Noah and to his sons with him behold I establish my Covenant with you and with your Offspring after you and with every living creature that is with you the birds the livestock and every beast of the Earth with you as many as came out of the Ark it is for every Beast of the earth

I establish my Covenant with you that never again shall All Flesh be cut off By the Waters of a flood and never again shall there be a flood to destroy the Earth and God said this is the sign of the Covenant I make between me and you and every living creature with you for all future Generations I have set my bow in the clouds and it shall be a sign of the Covenant between me and the earth when I bring clouds over the earth and the bow is seen in the clouds I will remember my

Covenant that is between me and you and every living creature of All Flesh and the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh the bow shall be in the clouds and I will look upon it to remember the Everlasting Covenant between God and every living creature of All Flesh that is on the earth and God said to Noah this is the sign of the Covenant that I have established between me and All Flesh that is on the earth Genesis 9: 8-17 the rainbow is the symbol of God's covenant with Noah and all

creation it serves as a reminder of God's faithfulness and goodness a sign that he does not abandon Humanity but offers a new chance to start over it is a promise that God will never again destroy the world with water but will preserve life on Earth it represents hope that God has a plan to restore all things and that one day he will make all things new it is a Grace that God loves us and sent his son Jesus Christ who is the rainbow of our Salvation And Thus ends the story of the flood and Begins
