After Father determined to destroy all flesh on earth, He gave man the opportunity to repent. The Bible reveals that before the flood came, Noah preached righteousness. The people rejected what Noah had to say and dismissed his preaching and his warnings to their own demise. YeHoVaH gave Noah specific instructions on how to build an ark and the occupants that would go into the Ark. Every clean and unclean beast in the earth at the time of Noah was represented on the Ark to preserve the species. Although it rained forty days and nights, the water prevailed on the earth 150 days.
