GENESIS 6:5-7, C. H. Cayce “And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the Lord that He had made man on the earth, and it grieved Him at His heart. And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.”
This text is in line with one upon which we gave our views not long since concerning Nineveh. The same remarks will apply to this text. The Lord expressly declares in that He does not change. He does not repent as man repents. It is His will and according to His law that He punish man for his sins. Hence, according to His law He punished the people of the old world for their sins. This does not show a change in the Lord, but shows that He does not change.
