With the growth of the earth's population came corruption, sin and violence which saddened God's heart. God's initial reaction was to reduce mankind's life expectancy to 120 years. However things only got worse making God increasingly angry. God was so sorry that he had ever made mankind, animals and birds that he decided to wipe them out. However Noah walked with God and found favour in his eyes. So the Lord decided to flood the earth but save Noah's family plus animal life. God instructed Noah to build an ark 450 feet long, 75 feet wide and 45 feet high with a roof on top, which was to be Noah's family's means of escape together with breeding pairs of all animals. Noah obeyed God.
I didn’t know that God reduced life expectancy to 120 years because of that. Very interesting!
