Noah

After reading Genesis yesterday, I realize, God never told Noah to warn anybody about the flood. I believe this is because God had no intention of saving anybody but Noah, his wife, his three sons, and there wives.
I have shared this with some friends, and it seemed some how shocking, I just want to share this and get some ideas, and see what others think about this statement.

Interesting post. The story of Noah is told in such few words, it certainly makes me wonder what details were not shared about the events that took place. In 2 Peter 2:5, Noah is called a preacher of righteousness. Some people think this alludes to the idea that Noah did in fact preach righteousness (and perhaps warnings against the flood). The people must not have took to heart the preaching about righteousness (for they did not turn from their wicked ways) or warnings (because they were surprised at the flood).

When we consider the whole Bible, Noah's life foreshadowed Christ. In Noah's lifetime, there was only one blameless man on Earth whose righteousness made it possible for mankind to continue. Later, God made it possible for mankind to have eternal life throough one righteous man—His Son, Jesus Christ. Praise God for both of these men!

Thanks for your post KBond, I am new to this. anyway, the more I think about it, the more easily I accept, that Noah never warned people, because what would he have said?? just think about it.I only offer this post, just to see how others think about this idea.Its such an interesting area to study.Thanks again KBond.........................Rich.
