This study moves into Genesis 6:1-10 and the events leading up to the Flood. As humanity multiplies, so does its corruption — the sons of God (Seth's godly line) take wives from the daughters of man (the apostate line of Cain), and godliness mixes with godlessness. We examine why the Lord declares that His Spirit will not strive with man forever, limiting human life to 120 years as both a judgment and a merciful reprieve. We learn about the Nephilim — the “mighty men of renown” who reveal what unchecked power does to the human heart. As wickedness grows until every thought of man is “only evil continually,” Scripture says God was grieved in His heart and resolved to blot out what He had made. Yet Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord — righteous by grace, walking with God in the midst of a fully corrupt generation.

A full walk through Genesis 5, the genealogy that carries the "holy seed" from Adam to Noah across the 1,656 years before the Flood. We don't skip the list — it's where Scripture quietly keeps the promise of the protoevangelium, tracing the lineage that ends in Christ. Along the way: what Adam's creation teaches about the image of God and human humility, how a fallen nature passes from father to son, the mystery of Enoch (translated to heaven without dying), Methuselah's name as a prophecy of the Flood, the famous question of the long lifespans and the providence of God behind them, and the birth of Noah — whose name means "rest."
