   Lets resume on Genesis Chapter 6 in the King James Version Bible.   
          
           Genesis 6:1:   
           And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the eart   
   h, and   
   daughters were born unto them,   
      
           Genesis 6:2:   
           That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and    
   they   
   took them wives of all which they chose.   
      
           Genesis 6:3:   
           And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that   
    he   
   also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.   
      
   Here we see the land that God had created on this Earth are now being filled   
   with people, daughters are being born to labor more children.  Even though the   
   years of life a person could live was numbered to 120 years, as we see today   
   there was no shortage of people to fill the land.  This was God's plan.   
      
           Genesis 6:4:   
           There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when   
    the   
   sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them,   
   the same became mighty men which were of                old, men of renown.   
      
           Genesis 6:5:   
           And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that   
    every   
   imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.   
      
           Genesis 6:6:   
           And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grie   
   ved him   
   at his heart.   
      
           Genesis 6:7:   
           And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face   
    of the   
   earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air;   
   for it repenteth me that I have made            them.   
      
   Since the fall of man (the first Adam), the nature of human live became more   
   and more corrupt.  God saw this and he was not happy.  Not only was the land   
   beginning to fill up with people, God wants to start over with his creation of   
   people and every living being.  Will he do this again?  We'll discuss that   
   later.   
      
           Genesis 6:8:   
           But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.   
      
           Genesis 6:9:   
           These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in h   
   is   
   generations, and Noah walked with God.   
      
           Genesis 6:10:   
           And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.   
      
           Genesis 6:11:   
           The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with vi   
   olence.   
      
           Genesis 6:12:   
           And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all fle   
   sh had   
   corrupted his way upon the earth.   
      
   Many of you know the story of Noah and how he created an ark (or a giant boat   
   with covering), filled it with his family and every two of every living   
   thing.  Noah was a good man and right with God, he had His favor.  When the   
   Earth is filled with violence, we know God is not happy.  So remember be love   
   and be good to one other brothers and sisters.   
      
           Genesis 6:13:   
           And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the   
    earth   
   is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with   
   the earth.   
      
           Genesis 6:14:   
           Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and    
   shalt   
   pitch it within and without with pitch.   
      
           Genesis 6:15:   
           And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the    
   ark   
   shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height   
   of it thirty cubits.   
      
           Genesis 6:16:   
           A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish i   
   t   
   above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower,   
   second, and third stories shalt thou make it.   
      
   It is interesting that God had told Noah not only to build this giant boat to   
   float on the waters as he gets ready to flood the earth, but he had also told   
   him to create a window.  What is this window you make ask yourself for?   
      
           Genesis 6:17:   
           And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to d   
   estroy   
   all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing   
   that is in the earth shall die.   
      
           Genesis 6:18:   
           But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into th   
   e ark,   
   thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.   
      
           Genesis 6:19:   
           And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou br   
   ing   
   into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female.   
      
           Genesis 6:20:   
           Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every cre   
   eping   
   thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to   
   keep them alive.   
      
           Genesis 6:21:   
           And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gathe   
   r it to   
   thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.   
      
           Genesis 6:22:   
           Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.   
      
   Noah has created an ark, a window for the ark and has command over every   
   living thing on earth, two of every kind, male and female that they shall fill   
   the earth once more.
