The Cadence of the Curse – Genesis 5
Chapter 5 describes each generation’s family records and knows that this family keeps God’s knowledge throughout the generations. We know this as it is mentioned that Enoch walked faithfully with God. Also, Noah’s father, Lamech, remembering God during Noah’s birth. God uses people to keeps the knowledge of him on earth through time.
Sin’s Corruption on the Earth – Genesis 6:1-7:10
In contrast to Genesis 5, Genesis 6 describes a world of human wickedness, and God’s judgment to wipe them out. Amid a sinful world, Noah was found to be righteous in God’s eye; he was chosen to be part of God’s plan. Certainly, God was upset about humanity and their sin; God is holy, and his judgment on sin must happen. But yet, at the same time, we see God’s perfect and uncompromised love, grace, and mercy; when God chooses Noah to accomplish His plans. Noah was faithful and obedient; he did all that God had commanded him.
God’s Condemnation through the Flood – Genesis 7:11-24

Every living thing died except those in the ark
