"They were in the pre and post ad listing the opportunity to repent. They had their last chance to repent."
Who does not know the story of Noah and his ark full of animals of all species? (Genesis 6, 7, 8, 9). Now, because the Bible does not mention even one of those who drowned in the flood? The answer is simple: Who does not call the attention of God has God's attention. In fact well before the announcement of the flood, which would not have been missed opportunities for those people who remained in sin. According to the bible, "the earth was corrupt before God ..."( Gen. 6:11), or if they become corrupt is because they stopped the practice of right to wrong. And this was not an overnight. Even when using the term "the guy fell in the faith," in fact he was falling for a long time, but with so many options appearing in front of repentance. So were the people at that time that by persisting in their error, allowed God to exhaustion in patience as it is written: "... The end of all flesh, because the earth is full of men's violence ..."( Genesis . 6:13).What is interesting is that even after the announcement of the flood when Noah came to communicate to all, they preferred to ignore the call of Noah and continue in their uncleanness. It was then that Noah began his workday lifting that huge wooden ark. I imagine all the passed for the construction of Noah, mocking and blaspheming God. He went to a certain test for Noah to have to endure so much outrage, however, as his focus was only obey, continued to ignore these words. And God only in the hope someone possibly while it was time to repent or even one of Noah's family to give up the task.Past time, the awaited day arrived and while the animals were placed in-order for two of every species into the Ark, God in his infinite mercy was to observe the eagerness to in his last chance, definitely someone to repent, however, not seeing any manifestation, by contrast, saw himself more blasphemy and ignorance on the part of all, waited to enter the last and immediately closed the door. (Genesis 7:16). Altogether there were 40 days of intense rainfall over the whole land until the death of the last living creature (Genesis 7:21-23) and 150 days until all water is diminished, or drained.They had in the pre listing the opportunity to repent. They had in the post announcement also the opportunity to repent. They had their last chance to repent. And you had many opportunities to repent. Even before and after warning of the Holy Spirit to consult with God. Maybe this is his last chance, before the deluge, since, if this happens the door will close and God closes one door that opens. In this case, prepare to be more a sea of forgetfulness
