The Bible clearly explains why God did what He did. These verses should have been included and highlighted in the article:
“The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was continually only evil. The Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and it grieved Him in His heart.” (Genesis 6:5,6)
“The earth was corrupt before God and filled with violence. God looked on the earth and saw it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth. So God said to Noah, ‘The end of all flesh is come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. Now I will destroy them with the earth.’” (Genesis 6:11-13)
And here we are: deja vu all over again. Last time it was flood. The next time it will be fire.
However, before the fire, there will be The Purification.
Ready or not...
I look at the condition of the Earth today and damn near weep.....I am trying to build a shelter that will protect me from anything that God can think of because if He is not REALLY pissed off right now, He soon will be. This generation of humans is about the saddest example of creation that I can imagine. I am 76, but my youngest grandchildren (3) are less than 6 months old and unfortunately, we are leaving them with a planet a lot worse off than the one we were born into...very sad...
