At creation God made a wonderful world with perfect and functional creation. God himself saw what he had created as good. However, in his creation, God wanted human beings to love him willingly and by choice. He had made other objects which did not have to think or choose how to relate with God. Things like sun, moon, starts etc. they were robots who went in circles keeping their lanes in the sky as they orbited day in day out. They followed their natural route without deviation since they were created.
Mankind was created differently. They were given a superior brain able to make judgement and to freely choose their hearts desire. As a test of their loyalty and obedience, God had set aside one tree in the middle of the garden- which they were required not to touch or eat. the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
This they did not obey God but the ate the forbidden fruits of this tree and therefore received thefull force of the wrath of God. As a result all the creatures suffered terrible loss. They lost their original glory from God. They planet earth wasted away, the entire creation lost direction. Animals intended to eat grass prayed on each other. They ground stopped producing enough and Satan took charge of the fallen planet turning people further away from God. Cain killed his brother Abel and sin multiplied on earth. God walked with Enoch on earth for 300 years and one day he decided to take him to heaven so he could live in perfect holiness with him. God saw the world sliding deep into darkness of sin, he saw Noah a righteous man. He called out to Noah to build an Ark and invite willing human beings to enter the Ark and safe their lives from massive floods overtaking the earth. Enoch preached tirelessly for 120 years but no one accepted his end time message. He saved only his family, His wife, three Sons and their wives.
God brought calamity to the entire earth and all human beings perished in the flood for rejecting God's message of redemption through his servant.
In our Time we are calling people to repentance and holiness but people are preoccupied with pleasure. Gold and money is the new god. People can do anything to amass wealth. Even the few who struggle to go to churches do so to be blessed with riches - prosperity. People commit sins willingly and with passion. Our time is no different from the time of Sodom and Gomorrah when the two holy angels rained Fires of sulphur on the evil city.
Which side are you? Seek the Lord today and live. (Romans 10:5-13).
