In Noah's day, violence had filled the earth because of the angels that had left their position in the heavens, and married women, producing offspring. (Genesis 6:1-4; Jude 6) These filled the earth, until "every inclination of the thoughts of [man's heart was only bad all the time," which resulted in the being ruined (Genesis 6:5, 11, 12) However, Noah was able to avoid all of the corrupt influence of his time, being described as "a righteous man. He proved himself faultless among his contemporaries. Noah walked with the true God." (Genesis 6:8, 9) Unlike the ungodly world he lived in, he was still able to accomplish what God required of him. He then entered into a covenant with Jehovah God, as noted in Genesis 6:18. He became "a preacher of righteousness" as well as a builder, as a he warned the wicked generation around him of the impending destruction the flood would cause. (2 Peter 2:5) Noah, out of implicit faith did everything God comanded of him, although those around him didn't believe. This is noted in Genesis 6:22, "according to all that God had commanded him. He did just so." This devout faith was later noted in The Bible book of Hebrews 11:7, 12:1. After completion of the Ark, Jehovah gave Noah instructions to gather the animals into the ark. Shortly after, "Noah went in, and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives with him, into the ark ahead of the waters of the deluge. . . . After that Jehovah shut the door behind him." On that very day "the flood arrived and destroyed them all." (Ge 7:1-16; Lu 17:27) Ultimately, Noah's faithfulness to Jehovah God protected both him and his family, and they received many blessings.
