6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth. 7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood. 8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth, 9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah. 10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth (Genesis 7:6-10).
The flood came quickly. Noah, his family and all the creatures God saved were in the ark for a week prior to the floods coming. I am sure all people that were aware of what Noah’s was doing were skeptical and likely thought Noah was crazy. That feeling would not have lasted long and as the flood waters rose there must have been a sense of doom and regret. But God, through Noah, had been warning the world for a very long time. After all Noah was 600 years old before the flood came.
