To help answer your question I submit the following paragraph taken from an article in Reason and Revelation 1998, "In Defense of the Genesis Flood Part 1", by Bert Thompson,Ph.D. Because of Noah’s faithfulness, a “probationary period” of a maximum of 120 years was established by God (Genesis 6:3). During that time, Noah preached to the people of his generation (1 Peter 3:18-20), all the while carrying out the commands of God regarding the building of the ark (Genesis 6). After approximately 100 years, Noah’s work was completed (Genesis 5:32 indicates that Noah was 500 years old prior to the events of Genesis 6-8; Genesis 7:6 indicates that Noah was 600 years old when he entered the ark. It appears from a straightforward reading of the text that, of the probationary period of 120 years imposed by God, Noah used 100 years or less). However, for all his preaching Noah’s only “converts” were members of his own family group. People no doubt grew accustomed to the large hulk of the great ark, and at the same time grew apathetic to Noah’s message of salvation from impending doom. Sin continued as the probationary period drew to a close. The decree had been made; the grace of God had been extended; the time for action was at hand. Mankind’s sin now would result in God sending a worldwide Flood. Also, I might add to this that Matt. 24:38 says "For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark,". So basically even though Noah obviously tried to warn them they just dismissed all that he said and probably thought of him as the village idiot. I hope this has helped answer your question. Raven |

Thank you for your in depth reply. I teach a weekly Good News club and I have been trying to prepare for this lesson. My lesson planner talks about things I cannot find in my Bible and so I was wondering if I did not realize that other books of the bible might complete my understanding of Noah and his appeal to mankind to repent and be obedient to God. Also my lesson planner suggests that these unsaved masses helped with the building of the ark even though they refused to come aboard when Noah gave the final warning. I do not feel right teaching things I cannot reference and so hence my question. Thank you for your reply. | ||||||

Hello, I would like to suggest a website that would give you some material that can be referenced in the bible. Its apologeticspress.com , Bert Thompson and about five other well educated Christian men work at this place and put out different articles and liturature on Bible evidences. I think it would be well worth your time to visit this site. Your friend in Christ, Raven |
