The Flood

Genesis 6:⁵ Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. ⁶ And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. ⁷ So the Lord said, “I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.” ⁸ But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.

Genesis 7 Then the Lord said to Noah, “Come into the ark, you and all your household, because I have seen that you are righteous before Me in this generation. ² You shall take with you seven each of every clean animal, a male and his female; two each of animals that are unclean, a male and his female

The evil on the earth was so great that God had to put a stop to it. The amount was so horrendous man left God no choice. But as bad as that was it was not the main factor for the flood.

Genesis 3:¹⁴ So the Lord God said to the serpent: “Because you have done this, You are cursed more than all cattle, And more than every beast of the field; On your belly you shall go, And you shall eat dust
All the days of your life.¹⁵ And I will put enmity
Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed;
He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel.”

The key is in Genesis 3 above. Genesis 6:1 Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, ² that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose. ³ And the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.” ⁴ There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.

The mix of fallen angels and women were giants known as the Nephilim. The whole purpose was to corrupt the DNA of mankind so the Lord couldn’t have a pure women to be birthed from. Again understand I am not saying the other abominations did not matter in God’s decision. His Word does not change.

The serpent knew his evil would have to be accounted for one day. The actions fallen angels took was an attempt to change God’s plan.
