Bible Question: I would like an explination of Geneis 6. |
Bible Answer: This describes the breaking down of the godly line of Seth (Gen 4:26) and the ungodly line of Cain. Seth's line being referred to as the "sons of God" taking wives from Cain's line, being referred to as "daughters of men". Wickedness multiplied as a result and this brought on the judgement of the flood. But God chose Noah, who was "perfect in his generations" (Gen 6:8) i.e. pure parentage back to Seth and God used Noah to build the Ark, also an OT type of our salvation through Jesus Christ. |
