According to the bible God sent down Jesus so he could forgive mankind. So why didn't God send down Jesus to earth before the flood? If he would of done that he wouldn't have to kill everybody on Earth execpt Noah and his family. Was Jesus busy?

The flood was just many of the illustrations that God used to point out the fact that he HATES sin and that no matter what else he could do, nothing else could be done to make humanity pure. I think God always knew that but the lesson had to be taught to us. If he did I suppose people in the future would just complain "Man why didnt God just wipe out all the evil people on the earth with some kind of a flood and make a righteous society based on the few who were righteous, then there would be no evil." God has done what he has done to fullfill his purpose and his timing is not only proper it is perfect!

there are many strange things having to do with time that occur in the Bible. For instance, why would it take God hundreds of years to free His own people from the Egyptians? Also, when God threatened Israel with threats of destruction, they always occurred many years later. Finally why didn't God create the earth in a revers order and not the order we know of? the truth is that we will never know why God chooses certain times for things to happen good or bad. But it must have been in His plan to send Jesus years later.

Everybody who is to be saved is and always was saved by faith. If a person lived trusting God before the flood they would be saved. God only forgives mankind when they trust in HIM. as always if they don't trust Him then they are damned.

God sent Noah before the flood. People didn't listen to him, either.

because he sent noah who had the same message as jesus christ the prophet of god" worship god". besides god didnt kill everyone on earth , he just killed the tribe which noah was telling the message. thats what islam says at least. i mean it makes sense to me, otherwise it would be unfair to those who never heard of the message and die for no reason......out of the blue.
noah went to the tribe that he is from, jesus was sent to the israelities, his tribe and the mohammed to all mankind.

We should not question God. His ways are perfect and His ways are not like ours. He has a perfect will and things happen in His time. He used the prophets to tell about the Messiah who was to come. It all worked out perfectly.

Because prophecy had to be written and fufilled, so that we can be certain Jesus was who He was.
