11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. 12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. 13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth (Genesis 6:11-13).
God is making it clear to Noah that He intends to bring judgment on earth. The judgment is a result of Man’s disobedience. The judgment this time though is death. This is in contrast to the Fall in Genesis 3 where Adam and Eve were driven out of the Garden of Eden due to sin. The God that created all was now to the point of destroying most of His creation because of the rampant sin of Mankind. This should cause us to pause and consider the justice of God. God is holy and His justice proceeds from this holiness.
