Genesis 6 culminates with the proclamation of judgment upon the whole earth resulting in a global flood. This judgment is pronounced not only on mankind but on all living things. The primary focus of Genesis 6 is on man’s sins‚ and indeed mankind was culpable in bringing about this judgment. The question is was it the sole reason for the flood? If man’s wickedness was the sole reason then why destroy the earth and all the animals as well? And what did it accomplish? Sin quickly resumed after the
