As the Days of Noah November 18, 2014

When Jesus walked the earth before being crucified, He told us what it would be like before He came again. He told us it would be as the days of Noah. “For as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.” [NKJV] Matthew 24:37-39

All scripture referenced herein is from the New King James Version

1 THE DAYS BEFORE THE FLOOD

Genesis chapter 6 tell us what it was like before the flood.

Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born

to them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives

for themselves of all whom they chose. And the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever,

for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.” Genesis 6:1-3

Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the

thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. Genesis 6:5

The earth also was corrupt before God and the earth was filled with violence. So God looked upon the

earth, and indeed it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth. And God said to

Noah, “The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them; and

behold, I will destroy them with the earth.” Genesis 6:11-13

Several attributes describe what it was like in these days:

Population Explosion. The days before the flood experienced a dramatic increase in the earth’s population…’when men

began to multiply’.

Following Fleshly Lusts. Men selected wives based on outward appearance instead of inward beauty. They chose women

for themselves rather than lean on God’s provision for a spouse based on more lasting and eternal qualities. You might say

they chose the “my way” tree just as Adam and Eve leaned on their own understanding. Because the preceding chapters

in Genesis tell us that Cain’s line was ungodly while Seth’s line was godly, we can reasonably surmise that, by the time of

Noah, these two family lines had merged through marriage….”the sons of God” representing Seth’s descendants and the

“daughters of men” representing Cain’s descendants.

Godly Like Ungodly. Because the godly were marrying the ungodly, it’s reasonable to assume there was no marked

difference in the behavior of those who professed godliness. People likely had a ‘form of godliness but denied its power’.

As people entered into the marital covenant unequally yoked spiritually, matters of faith were likely not taught to children.

If, after all, spiritual matters were un-important when selecting a spouse, why would they be important to pass down the

generations?

Earth Filled with Violence. All flesh, man and beast, was filled with violence. It’s interesting to note that both man and

beast were violent. Naturally, this leads one to ponder a few things. Could this be why and when the dinosaurs were

wiped out? Could it be that the flood waters, which lingered for almost a year, impacted carbon dating? Despite the

debate, these are legitimate questions especially in light of the Biblical record.

Evil Thoughts Continually. The language of Genesis 6 suggests there was a great amount of self-centeredness in those

days. This self-centeredness led to ungodly choices in marriage. This same self-centeredness was the likely cause of the

violence of those days, also.

Does the description of the days of Noah remind you of Paul’s description of the latter days to Timothy?

But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves,

lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving,

unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty,

lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And

from such people turn away! 2 Timothy 3:1-5

I believe the attributes Paul listed to Timothy describe ‘the falling away’—the apostasy—which will take place

before the anti-christ enters the scene and before Jesus returns. When the church at Thessalonica believed they

had missed the return of Christ, Paul wrote them an insightful letter of reassurance.

Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we

ask you, not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from

us, as though the day of Christ had come. Let no one deceive you by any means for that Day will not

come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who

opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in

the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4

But, Paul didn’t say it first. Jesus said we would see lawlessness abound before He returns.

“And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. And this gospel of the

kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.”

Matthew 24:12

2 NOAH’S PATRIARCHS

It’s easy to see that the world today matches the description of the world at the time of the flood -- little

distinction between the godly and the ungodly, people following the desires of the flesh, individuals watching out

only for themselves, the earth filled with violence. Notice also that the world’s population was beginning to

multiply before the flood. What was the earth’s population at the time of the flood and can we illustrate its

dramatic increase in the days of Noah?

With the question before me, I decided to estimate the population in the days of Noah using scripture-first

assumptions that are best explained from a brief review of the genealogy from Adam to Noah as sourced from

Genesis chapter 5.



Overlap in Life Spans of First 10 Biblical Patriarchs from Adam to Noah

Seth means appointed Seed. Adam and Eve knew that God would bring redemption for sin through Seth’s seed.

And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son and named him Seth. “For God has appointed

another seed for me instead of Abel, whom Cain killed.” Genesis 4:25

Noah means ‘rest’. Noah was a preacher of righteousness.

…and did not spare the ancient world, but saved Noah, one of eight people, a preacher of

righteousness, bringing in the flood on the world of the ungodly; 2 Peter 2:5

Lineage of Jesus. Each patriarch is specifically named in the lineage of Jesus Christ. Luke 3:36-38

Enoch taken by God. Between the appointed seed of Seth and the salvation of a remnant depicted with Noah are seven

generations. Enoch was the patriarch of the 5th generation after Seth and the 7th generation overall. Enoch did not die,

but was taken by God because of his faithfulness, as implied in scripture and by the meaning of his name which means

‘dedicated’. Enoch loved God. Some believe God’s action toward Enoch is symbolic of the future rapture of the church.

After he begot Methuselah, Enoch walked with God three hundred years, and begot sons and

daughters. So all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years. And Enoch walked with

God; and he was not, for God took him. Genesis 5:22-24

Prophetic Names. If you link the meaning of their names as taken from the New King James Biblical Cyclopedic Index, you

will see the plan of salvation. A man, appointed as a mortal, fixed by and the praise of God, descended and was dedicated

to be pierced with a spear, made low in order to bring comfort and rest.



Flood Begins When Methuselah Dies. Methuselah means ‘man of the spear/javelin’. It also means ‘his death shall bring

judgment’.1 Indeed, the flood began when Methuselah died at 969 years old. He is the oldest documented person in the

Bible.

We do not know the cause of Methuselah’s death. Because he was the oldest patriarch and because his death is

described in Genesis 5 just as it is for the other patriarchs ‘and he died’, it is reasonable to conclude he died naturally

as a result of old age. However, there is speculation he may have been killed as part of the violence of the day

considering his name also means ‘man of the spear’, making him the last martyr before the devastation of the flood.2

It is the timing of Methuselah’s death in relation to the launch of the flood that I find so remarkable. When

Methuselah died, the flood began. The removal of someone marking the beginning of a time of judgment reminded

me of what Paul wrote to the church at Thessalonica. Paul said that when ‘He who now restrains’ is ‘taken out of the

way’, the ‘lawless one will be revealed’, where ‘He’ is commonly interpreted as the Holy Spirit of the church marking

the end of the church age.

For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is

taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the

breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. The coming of the lawless one is

according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous

deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth that they might

be saved. 2 Thessalonians 2:7-10

3 POPULATION ASSUMPTIONS

Looking at scripture for clues, I made some assumptions about the birth-death process in the days before Noah in

order to derive a population estimate at the time of the flood when ‘men began to multiply.’

Although scripture does not tell us how many children each patriarch had, it does tell us that each patriarch had

sons and daughters. It also tells us when they had the son (not necessarily the first son) who was part of Jesus’

lineage.

One Child Every 25 Years. Adam and Eve had three sons by the time Adam was 130 (Cain, Abel, Seth). We can reasonably

assume God provided each son with a wife (a sister) with whom they could populate the earth—one man and one woman

just as He provided Eve to Adam. Before Seth was born, Cain was worried about someone taking his life because he had

killed his brother Abel. The people whom he feared could have been his own descendants or, more likely, the offspring of

Abel who would have motive to kill him in retaliation. So, we know that by the time Cain killed Abel, there were other

people on the earth besides just Adam, Eve, Cain and Abel. We’ll make the reasonable assumption that by the time Adam

was 130 years old, he had three sons and at least two daughters (one for Cain and one for Abel)—and sometime thereafter

another daughter for Seth. We will not assume Seth married into the ungodly line of Cain’s descendants, but rather, God

provided him a wife through Adam and Eve. So, if Adam had six children by the time he was let’s say 150, this would

average to one child every 25 years.



Child-Bearing Years Through Age 600. Scripture tells us Adam and Eve had sons and daughters after Seth. Adam was 130

when he had Seth, so this means he could still have children after age 130. Adam lived to 930. We will assume he

continued to have children through age 600. We selected 600 as the basis for this assumption because Noah entered the

ark at age 600 and left the ark at age 601. We are told that, after the flood, the whole earth was re-populated from his

three sons Shem, Ham and Japheth which implies Noah had no additional children after the flood.

Now the sons of Noah who went out of the ark were Shem, Ham and Japheth. And Ham was the

father of Canaan. These three were the sons of Noah, and from these the whole earth was populated.

Genesis 10:18-19

Adam Had 40 Children. If we assume Adam had children through the age of 600 and had one child every 25 years (on

average), this would produce 24 total children. The Jewish historian, Flavius Josephus of the first century AD, reports that

Adam and Eve had 56 children3. For the purposes of this paper’s estimation, we will assume Adam and Eve had between

24 and 56 children. Specifically, we choose to be conservative in our estimate and assume 40 children for Adam and Eve.

Noah had 3 Sons and 0 Daughters. Scripture tells us Noah had three sons when he was 500 years old (Genesis 5:32). It

also tells us he was 600 when the flood began (Genesis 7:6, Genesis 7:11) and that his middle son, Shem, was 100 years old

when he had a son two years after the flood. This means his middle son Shem was 98 when the flood began. So yes, more

than one verse supports the literal interpretation that Noah was 500 (more or less a few years) when he had his sons.

Considering the other patriarchs had sons and daughters, it’s reasonable to assume Noah also had daughters. If he did,

they are not mentioned and perished in the flood. For the purpose of estimating the population at the time of the flood,

we are going to assume Noah only had three sons.

And Noah was five hundred years old and Noah begot Shem, Ham and Japheth. Genesis 5:32

Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was on the earth. Genesis 7:6

In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, on

that day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.

Genesis 7:11

Noah’s sons had an average of 10 children each. We are told that from Noah’s three sons (Japheth, Shem and Ham), the

earth as we know it today was repopulated. Noah’s three sons each had a wife who survived with them on the ark. We

are also told that Noah had 16 grandsons. We will safely assume he also had 16 granddaughters, one for each grandson,

to help repopulated the earth. This equates to 32 grandchildren or an average of 10 grandchildren per each of his three

sons, rounding down.

The sons of Japheth were Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras. Genesis 10:2

The sons of Ham were Cush, Mizraim, Put and Canaan. Genesis 10:6

The sons of Shem were Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud, and Aram. Genesis 10:22

Gradual Decline in Off-Spring. If Adam had 40 children while each of Noah’s sons had ten(10) children, we might make

the assumption that each generation following Adam saw a decline in the number of offspring. We are going to make this

Many expect The Gog-Magog war, foretold in Ezekiel 38-39, to occur just before the peace treaty of the Great Tribulation

(although there is debate about its timing). This is a war between Israel and a confederation of her enemies led by the Prince

of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal of the land of Magog. When you examine the ancient names of the countries in the confederation

of Israel’s enemies, you see countries taking the same names as the sons of Japheth and Ham noted above in bold text. You

might say that the Gog-Magog war is, in a loose sense, a war between Israel (descendants of Shem) with the rest of the world

(descendants of Japheth and Ham) as led by what is commonly interpreted as the leader of Russia “prince of Rosh”.



assumption, again choosing to be conservative, because lifespans were probably shorter as people died to violence and we

know God established them to be shorter post-flood.

Increasing Violence Takes Up to One-Fourth. Scripture tells us the earth was filled with violence at the time of the flood.

We know that violence began as early as the first son born to man---with Cain killing his brother Abel. We do not know

how many people died as a result of violence, but we have chosen to assume that it gradually approached 25% of each

generation with a portion of these killed too early to reproduce. We assume 25% because Revelation 6:8 tells us about

violence in the latter days taking one-fourth of the earth….and we have no other way of coming up with a figure related to

deaths through violence. So, we will use Revelation as a clue even though there is only a loose connection.

And I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades

followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with

hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth. Revelation 6:8

4 LARGE POPULATION

Using a scripture-first conservative approach, assumptions about the birth-death process of the ancient

generations are established. Working the math on these assumptions, one can see how plausible it is for the

earth’s population to have been as large as the nearly 7 billion on Earth today. This is how the math works:

1. We start with Adam and Eve who are one couple with an assumed 40 children (Seth is one of these children from

whom is the lineage of Jesus). So, in Adam’s generation there are 2 people (Adam and Eve) who died before the

flood.

2. The next generation is the generation of Seth. There are 40 people in this generation for an assumed 20 couples. We

assume 1% of these 20 couples could not have children (rounded down to the integer = 19 couples). For those

couples who could have children, we assume each couple had 35 children for a total of 665 births. We assume all of

these died before the flood.

3. The math proceeds in a like fashion through each generation, working with percentages and rounding down when

these percentages yield a fractional estimate. In order to produce a conservative estimate, the number of offspring

per couple decreases over time and the number of deaths due to violence increases over time.

GRAND TOTAL STILL ALIVE AT TIME OF FLOOD 8,530,760,795



If we plot the cumulative total of estimated births through the time of the flood, one can see

that surely ‘men began to multiply on the face of the earth’

Our assumptions yield an estimate of 8.5 billion living at the time of the flood!

Today’s population is approximately 7.0 billion

Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth… Genesis 6:1a

5 CONCLUDING REMARKS

Jesus said that when He returns, it will be “as the days of Noah”. It will be business as usual. People will be going

about the normal course of their lives. They will be planning for their futures. They will be marrying. They will be

having children. They will be starting businesses. They will be focused on the pursuits of this life, watchful of their

earthly future but not their eternal future.

“For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage,

until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all

away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.” Matthew 24:38-39

Although we see examples where God allowed destruction to cities and empires throughout the Biblical record,

Noah’s flood is the only time we see the full hand of God’s wrath on the entire earth. Because it is the only time in

the Biblical record where God destroyed all life except for a remnant---and because Jesus told us that when He

comes again it will be as the days of Noah (speaking of the spiritual state of mankind), I believe a careful analysis of

Noah’s flood provides insight about the latter days.

When I examine the story of Noah taken alone, I see three groups of people:

Those who died before the flood

Those who died during the flood

2,000,000,000

Those who died after the flood

Of those who died before the flood, there are another three groups of people:

Those who died naturally

Those who died as a result of violence

Those who were ‘taken by God’. Scripture indicates only one, Enoch.

I realize there are different perspectives about the rapture among Christians. There are staunch advocates in a

pre-tribulation rapture, a mid-tribulation rapture, a second-coming rapture and no rapture at all each with

scripture to back the respective positions. To be clear, I do not promote any one interpretation in a dogmatic

fashion especially as part of this essay. That said, however, I do see what may be several symbolic associations

between the worldwide destruction of the latter days and Noah’s flood. I emphasize that these associations are

personal observations. They are not dogmatic claims.

Enoch could foreshadow the rapture of the church. Faithful Enoch was taken by God.

So all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years. And Enoch walked with God; and he

was not, for God took him. Genesis 5:23-24

Methuselah could foreshadow the deaths (natural causes and through violence) of non-raptured believers

before the anti-christ is revealed. The flood began after the last living patriarch, Methuselah, died. We do

not know if Methuselah died naturally or as a result of escalating violence. His death, being timed with the

start of the judgment, could foreshadow what Paul referred to as the removal of ‘He who now restrains’

(commonly interpreted as the Holy Spirit) which will happen before the anti-christ is revealed. This ‘removal’

could be signified by the rapture of the church. It could be signified by the legal death of publically displayed

Christianity. It could be signified by the natural death of a particular person, evangelist or entire generation.

It could be signified by the martyr of believers in Jesus Christ. It may be none of these. It may be all of these.

Regardless of the specifics, I do think the timing of Methuselah’s death in relation to the flood is symbolic and

prophetic of the removal of the church age---the taking out of the way of He who now restrains---before the

anti-christ is revealed.

For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is

taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the

breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. The coming of the lawless one is

according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders. 2 Thessalonians 2:7-9

Noah could foreshadow the salvation and protection of a remnant. I’ve heard others associate the salvation

of Noah with the rapture of believers—that is, being caught up in the clouds with Christ. But, Noah and his

family lived through the storm. They were protected and saved, but they were not removed from the earth

during the tribulation. The protection of Noah and his family, in my opinion, is symbolic of God’s pattern of

saving a remnant of His chosen people. In my opinion, it is not symbolic of the rapture of the church. And,

with respect to saving a remnant of His chosen people, God will do this again in the latter days of the Great

Tribulation when He protects a remnant of Israeli Jews during the rage of the satan-indwelled anti-christ.

Then the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should

feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days. Revelation 12:6 speaking of the woman

“Israel” being protected by God when, what many interpret, the anti-Christ tramples Jerusalem and

desecrates the temple.

“Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in

the holy place” (whoever reads let him understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the



mountains. Let him who is on the housetop not come down to take anything out of his house. And let

him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes. But woe to those who are pregnant and to those

with nursing babies in those days! And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbbath.

For then there will be great tribulation such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this

time, no, nor ever shall be.” Matthew 24:15-21

Notice the comment in the scripture that was embedded into Jesus’ words ‘whoever reads let him understand’.

Did you realize the book of Revelation is the only book of the Bible that begins with a promise to those who read

it?

Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which

are written in it; for the time is near. Revelation 1:3

Herein is the good news----the blessing that comes from reading and keeping God’s precepts---the blessing that

comes from remaining faithful to Jesus Christ, who is the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the

One who lives, was dead and is alive forevermore---the one who came and died and rose again so that we might

have life and have it more abundantly. Revelation chapter 1, John 10:10

“Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which

shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth”. Revelation 3:10

“Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that

will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.” Luke 21:36

Accept the Free Gift of Salvation

In the beginning, God created mankind in His own image—male and female---Adam and Eve. It was good. God provided for them and walked

with them in the garden He created for them. They were created with a three-fold purpose---to have fellowship with God, to have fellowship

with each other as they populated the earth and to care for and be good stewards of creation.

God in His perfect wisdom allowed Adam and Eve to be tested with the answer provided in advance. He gave them a choice, pointed out the

rewards and the warnings, but ultimately gave man free will. Despite having the answer in advance, man chose to lean on ‘his own

understanding’. Man fell. Man sinned. God punished Adam and Eve when they sinned, but He still provided for them and paved a way for

them to be reunited back to Himself. God clothed them with tunics of skin from a sacrificial animal---the first time we saw death as a result of

sin---the first time we saw blood shed to cover sin. As early as Genesis 3:21, we saw God’s perfect, loving, forgiving, protecting, sacrificial love

for the apple of His eye---mankind, created in His own image. Throughout scripture, we see the nature of God depicted in a pattern of love,

provision, choices, warnings, punishment, protection and ultimately salvation through His love.

Throughout the ages, we see mankind repeatedly falling away from God by following ‘his own wisdom’ instead. Throughout the ancient ages,

we see blood—wherein there is life---being offered by man to God as the covering ‘atonement’ for sin. Man sins. Man repents. Man pays the

price through the sacrificial killing of an innocent animal to symbolize life (blood) covering death (sin). But God---again in his perfect wisdom

full of grace said ‘enough’. There is too much sin. There is too much killing of innocent blood. Rather than man shedding innocent blood as a

sacrifice to God, God would shed innocent blood as a sacrifice for man----once and for all. That is what God did when He sent Jesus, His one

and only Son, perfect in every way—to die as God’s sacrifice for us. We sinned. God provided the atonement just as He did for Adam and Eve

and just as we see in many Biblical accounts. Despite our falling away, God is right there ready to provide and forgive and pay the price for us.

This is the redemptive story of Jesus--the redemptive message in the whole of scripture. The Old Testament and the New Testament are

woven together by a single golden thread. That golden thread is the plan of salvation through God’s son Jesus that God arranged. Although

scripture is filled with what many see as ‘doom and gloom’, it is replete with words of encouragement to persevere and to remain faithful to

Jesus with eternal life and salvation to those who do. All you need to do to receive God’s grace is Admit, Believe and Confess. Admit you are a

sinner and will never be good enough on your own to be in God’s favor. Believe in Jesus Christ as God’s sacrificial atonement for your sin—a

one and done solution. Confess the name of Jesus---let others know you follow Him. Do these things. Ask God to forgive you. Ask Jesus to

come into your heart. Ask Him to direct your path. Pray always. Read your Bible. Come into regular fellowship with other believers. This is

what Jesus meant when he said one must be ‘born again’. John 3:3

That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him

from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes to righteousness, and with the

mouth confession is made to salvation. Romans 10:9-10
