Genesis 6:5-13
(1535 Coverdale Bible)
But whan the LORDE sawe yt the wickednes of man was increased vpon ye earth, and that all ye thought and imaginacion of their hert
was but onely euell contynually,
6 it repented him, that he had made man vpon the earth,
and he sorowed in his hert,
7 and sayde: I wyll destroye man kynde which I haue made, from the earth:
both man, beest, worme, and foule vnder the heauen:
for it repenteth me, that I haue made them.
8 Neuertheles Noe founde grace in the sight of the LORDE
9 This is ye generacion of Noe. Noe was a righteous and parfecte ma, and led a godly life in his tyme,
10 and begat thre sonnes: Sem, Ham and Iaphet.
11 Notwithstondinge ye earth was corrupte in ye sight of God,
and full of myschefe.
12 Then God loked vpon ye earth: and lo, it was corrupte
(for all flesh had corrupte his waye vpon the earth.)
13 Then sayde God vnto Noe: The. ende of all flesh is come before me, for the earth is full of myschefe before them. And lo,
I wyll destroye them with the earth.

translation:

But whan the Lord saw the wickedness of man was increased upon ye earth, and that all thought and imagination of their heart was but only evil continually, it repented him, that he had made man upon the earth,
and he sorrowed in his heart, and He said: I will destroy mankind which I have made, from the earth: both man, beast, worm, and foul under the heaven:
for it repenteth me, that I have made them. Nevertheless Noah found grace in the sight of the LORD. This is the generation of Noah. Noah was a righteous and perfect mam, and led a godly life in his time, and begat three sons: Sem, Ham and Japhet. Notwithstanding the earth was corrupt in the sight of God,
and full of mischiefs. Then God looked upon the earth: and lo, it was corrupt
(for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.) Then said God to Noah: The end of all flesh is come before me, for the earth is full of mischief before them. And lo, I will destroy them with the earth.

summary:

Humanity’s Wickedness and God’s Grief
“The LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great upon the earth”. Every heart-thought is evil, grieving God. Yet Noah finds favor, showing divine mercy even in judgment.

Noah Walks with God in a Corrupt World
Noah is “righteous…blameless…walked with God” (6:9). Humanity and the earth are filled with violence and corruption, but one man shines as an exception.

The LORD regretted that He had made man” (6:6). The wording shows deep sorrow, not a mistake. Psalm 78:40-41 echoes God’s pain over rebellion. Yet verse 8 balances the ledger: “Noah found favor,” highlighting that one obedient life can alter history.

Psalm 78: 40-41
(1599 Geneva Bible)
How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness? 
and grieve him in the desert?
41 Yea, they returned and tempted God,
and limited the Holy one of Israel.

Noah’s Character and Faith

• Righteous: doing what is right.
• Blameless: free of scandal.
• Walked with God: lived in close, daily fellowship (compare Enoch 5:22-24). Hebrews 11:7 celebrates Noah’s faith that led him to build the ark “in holy fear.”

BOOK OF ENOCH 1
I-V. Parable of Enoch on the Future Lot of the Wicked and the Righteous
CHAPTER I.
Parable of Enoch on the Future Lot of the Wicked and the Righteous
…I’m not copying the whole chapter…it took me some time to find what I was looking for – and I think they misquoted the chapter and verse, as chapter 5 is more about the wickedness. Chapter 1 is about the wickedness and the righteous – and the prophesy of Noah.

Hebrews 11:7
(1599 Geneva Bible)
By faith Noah being warned of God of the things which were as yet not seen, moved with reverence, prepared the Ark to the saving of his household,
through the which Ark he condemned the world,
and was made heir of the righteousness, which is by faith.

Practical Takeaways

• God sees every motive; secret sin is still sin.
• Judgment is real, but so is a way of escape.
• Obedience may look odd to the world—yet it saves.
• One person’s faith can shelter many: Noah’s family, future generations, and ultimately the line leading to Jesus.

Teaching Points:
The Corruption of Humanity
Genesis 6:5 states, Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great upon the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was altogether evil all the time. This verse highlights the extent of human depravity and the pervasive nature of sin.

God’s Grief and Judgment
In Genesis 6:6-7, we read, And the LORD regretted that He had made man on the earth, and it grieved Him in His heart. So the LORD said, ‘I will blot out man, whom I have created, from the face of the earth—every man and beast and crawling creature and bird of the air—for I am grieved that I have made them.’ This passage underscores God’s sorrow over sin and His righteous judgment.

Noah’s Righteousness
Genesis 6:8-9 introduces Noah, stating, But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD. This is the account of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation; Noah walked with God. Noah’s life exemplifies faithfulness and obedience amidst a corrupt world.

Practical Applications:
Reflect on Personal Righteousness
Just as Noah was found righteous in his generation, we are called to live blamelessly and walk with God in our own time.

Understand the Seriousness of Sin
Recognize the gravity of sin and its consequences, both in our personal lives and in the world around us.

Trust in God’s Promises
Like Noah, we can trust in God’s promises and His plan for salvation, even when the world seems overwhelmingly corrupt.

Be a Beacon of Hope
In a world that often mirrors the wickedness of Noah’s time, strive to be a light and a source of hope, pointing others to God’s grace and mercy.

Genesis 6 delves into a critical juncture in mankind’s early history, when humanity’s wickedness led to God’s decision to cleanse the earth with a great flood. However, amidst this impending doom, Noah, a righteous man, found favor with God, thereby kindling a beacon of hope for mankind’s survival and renewal.

I wanted to reflect on something that was stated earlier…

“One person’s faith can shelter many”

…I can’t save you. Your relationship with Christ is the only thing that can save you. Sure, it helps having godly people that you can relate to and with, but that won’t save you in the end. I can preach, I can pray but when all is said and done – only you can save yourself.

hope you have a great day!
thanks for stopping by!!
