During Noah's generation (2400BC), the world population stood between 4-10 billion. In that entire length of time, God found no one righteous; in other words, no single human living during that period served God except for Noah, who scripture states were unblemished and a preacher.
The world was evil, ruled by evil beings.
This gives us two ideas to consider:
1. Noah remained faithful to God while the world (inhabitants) rejected God.
2. Jesus refers back to Noah to give us a glimpse of OUR world in the coming future, where something significant will occur that will make Christianity and all other religions currently - nonexistent.
This explains why we see subtle cracks in the faith today, with young people beginning to depart the faith as we move deeper into the 21st century.

Genesis 6:12-13 ... And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
Matthew 24:37 ... But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
2 Thessalonians 2:3 ... Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; ❤
