Short Summary of the Flood Event

[Guido]

Not long after God created the world, it was filled with moral decay. So he destroyed it with a flood. But he saved Noah, his family, and pairs of each kind of animal. Seven pairs of each clean kind, God saved, and a pair of each unclean kind, God saved. And as God commanded, all the people, and all the animals, which God intended to save, entered into the ark, which Noah built, obeying God. And God flooded the whole world. Then, after the earth dried up, all that were saved went out of the ark, and began to multiply.

I could not think of what to write so I just wrote this.

and how long did it take for sin to take hold again......

There was a great sin committed in those days that prompted the flood.

That sin was committed by the fallen angels that Peter and Paul said were chained and reserved in Hell until judgment.

2 Peter 2:4-5
"For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;

And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;"

Jude 6
"And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day."

There is a problem with your statements here.

God had problems with men. That was the reason for the flood. God didn’t say angels are sinning so I am going to flood the earth.


Genesis 6:3,5
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.

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.

Those are two different statements. The angels are ministering spirits. Their purpose is to serve God. Those who left their first estate left the place of duty that they were created to serve in. This is an entirely different thought and judgment than that of the flood.

Well then, we disagree on who the "sons of God" are in Gen. 6:2. This has been argued for centuries, and it seems we disagree.

Gen. 6:2-5

"That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

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.

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.

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."
