Concerning the previous reply
Were did you get those index numbers you placed before the individual phrases in the scripture you recorded? What do they mean?
"the end of all flesh has come upon me.... I will destroy them."
This sure sounds like God was preparing to "clear the world of sin" and if in fact He had killed all flesh as He indiciated that He was about to do, then sin would has been eradicated. But He chose not to kill Noah and his family. Sin continued on down through the blood line of humanity through Noah.
