7 And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. 8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord (Genesis 6:7-8).
God always has a chosen faithful remnant. Even in the midst of judgment, God saves His people. Or really, God’s people do not suffer His judgment. As Jonathon Edwards pointed out it is a fearful thing to be in the hands of an angry God. But God is just and His judgments are righteous. This last point is difficult for us to comprehend. God though by definition and His very nature does what is right. Therefore God’s judgment and salvation are both perfect. Perfect to the God that created all, and therefore perfect in all.
