The human race began to increase all over the world. However, all everyone thought about was doing evil - evil, evil, and more evil from dawn to dusk. God regretted making the human race in the first place and said to Noah, “This is the end for all humans. I am going to destroy all of them and the rest of creation because violence is everywhere. You must build yourself a ship of cypress wood.” Despite what God had said, the Lover of our souls still longed for the return of all prodigal children. God demonstrated a deep longing for them to repent by giving them 120 years of life. Therefore, humans had many opportunities throughout their long lives to repent.
Noah did all that God had commanded him to do. He built a big ship in the land he lived and he also kept telling people everywhere to repent and to stop sinning.
The years went by and all everyone saw were clear skies. No sign of even a drop of rain. Noah endured people's ridicule. “Fool! Why are you building a big ship on dry land? How is it possible for so much rain to fall from the sky to the point that the sea and the rivers cannot hold it? How is it possible for a loving God to exterminate the human race?”
But Noah did everything God told him to do. He trusted and obeyed God. His faith grew stronger precisely when he couldn’t see the promise and despite the questioning looks of others.
