The Pre-Flood Era

The Pre-Flood Era spans from Creation to the Great Flood—a period of origins, first sins, and escalating human wickedness. God creates the world and the first humans, Adam and Eve, who disobey and bring death into the world. Their son Cain commits the first murder, killing his brother Abel. Despite a righteous line through Seth, humanity grows so corrupt that God grieves having made them. Only Noah finds favor; God instructs him to build an ark, then destroys the world with a flood, preserving Noah’s family to restart humanity. The era ends with the Tower of Babel, where human pride leads God to scatter peoples and confuse languages—setting the stage for a new approach through one chosen family.
