Gen 5:28   And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and begat a son:
29    And he called his name Noah, saying, 'This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the LORD hath cursed."

     Noah is 'Noach' in the Hebrew and means 'to rest' (Strong's no.5146). The word Sabbath also means 'rest’ and Christ became our 'Rest', that True Sabbath of 'Rest' given to all who come to Jesus Christ, Who also is our Comforter.

 

 Hebrews 4: 1 The rest of Christians is attained by faith. 12 The power of God’s word. 14 By our high priest Jesus the son of God, subject to infirmities, but not sin, 16 we must and may go boldly to the throne of grace.

 

Shortened time of Satan's tribulation (remember Satan's flood?)

 

 Rev.17:15: And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

 

Isaiah 59:19: So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.

 

…for the sake of the elect upon this earth as given in,

 

Read all of Mark chapter 13: 1 Christ fortelleth the destruction of the temple:  9 the persecutions for the gospel: 10 that the gospel must be preached to all nations:  14 that great calamities shall happen to the Jews:  24 and the manner of his coming to judgement: 32 the hour whereof being known to none, every man is to watch and pray, that we be not unprovided, when he cometh to each one particularly by death.

 

And Revelation 9: 1 At the sounding of the fifth angel, a star falleth from heaven, to whom is given the keys to the bottomless pit, and there come forth locusts like scorpions. 12 The first woe past. 13 The sixth trumpet sounded. 14 Four angels are let loose that were bound.

 

 So the flood of Noah represents even more than you are even given there in Gen.7,

Which the month beginning with 'the second month', according to the Hebrew Calendar, our May,

to September, which is also the natural time of locusts.

 

 

Gen 5:30   And Lamech lived after he begat Noah five hundred ninety and five years, and begat sons and daughters:
31    And all the days of Lamech were seven hundred seventy and seven years: and he died.
32    And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

     Noah was five hundred years old before he had any children. Five in Biblical numeric terms means 'grace'. Also, Noah's father Lamech died five years before the flood. That means Noah and his immediate family were the only bloodline lineage from 'the man Adam' still living at the time of the flood (the math verifies this also). Thus all of Noah's ancestors who kept their bloodline purity, had all died, being spared from the destruction of the flood. Was this another reason for Enoch being taken out by God? All others of Adam's offspring became 'tainted' or mixed and had not preserved their bloodline purity for Christ's future birth.
    Is it possible that the intermixing of the 'fallen angels' with the daughters of men may have presented problems for Noah in finding a wife who was still pure in the 'eth' Ha' adham' bloodline.
