In this episode, Irish Scripture Scholar Frances Hogan continues to explain Chapter 6 of the Book of Genesis. We see the state of the human race after the fall and how deeply their actions grieved God. Order was lost on earth, and the sons of God and daughters of men grew corrupt; all morality was broken down. These sins make it impossible for us to have a relationship with God.

A reset of the earth was necessary to restore order and the Potter begins to craft a new vessel; the Lord decides that He will cleanse the earth. The evil beings which infiltrated the human race taught them how to destroy the image of God, how to destroy God’s plan, and how to destroy the human race. Thus begins the story of Noah, the great-grandson of Enoch and the 10th and the last of the pre-flood patriarchs, through whom God restarts the whole human race after the chastisement by water.
