629. Verse 13. And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence from their faces, and behold I destroy them with the earth. “God said” signifies that it was so; “the end of all flesh is come before Me” signifies that the human race could not but perish; “for the earth is filled with violence” signifies that they no longer had a will of good; “behold I destroy them with the earth” signifies that the human race would perish with the church.
