What did God do during the seven days before the flood?

During the seven days before the flood, God left the ark’s door open and the gangplank down, extending an opportunity for anyone in that generation to enter the ark of safety. None came. This displayed His grace and mercy before judgment.

Les explains that just before the flood came, the ark was ready and everything was in it. For seven days, God left the door open and the gangplank down, so anyone of that generation could have come into the ark of safety. But not a one did. Les applies this same pattern today: God’s grace and mercy are still extended, but one day His grace will come to an end, the curtain will drop, and His wrath will come.
