Noah was righteous in the midst of unrighteousness; without blemish in the midst of fallen people. Noah did not let the evil and corrupt society he lived in corrupt his character. Noah walked with YeHoVaH when others chose not to walk with YeHoVaH. Instead of taking Noah like YeHoVaH took Enoch, He started over with Noah. Noah did not allow the rejection of his preaching to stop him from preaching or give up on the people he preached too until YeHoVaH told him to go into the Ark.
