Genesis chapters 6 through 9 describe the global flood and how a man named Noah was used by God to help preserve a portion of the creation to repopulate the world which was to be destroyed. Portions of some of the key verses given in preparation for the flood are shown on the slide.

Noah is to be credited for his obedience in following God's instructions. He probably preached to people for many years about God's coming judgment, but he made no converts!
