Genesis 7:11 KJV
In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
Genesis 8:13 KJV
And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry.
We know of course that Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. So much so that when the Lord had determined to destroy all flesh which He had created, still Noah, wife and children and even their wives were saved through the Ark.
It is another mark of the grace of God, however, that God counts time, not by the historic event of the Flood but counts the time of the historic event by the life of Noah.
The highest of all God's creation is man, and the focus of that creation is man. It is not that man should think of himself as a god, but that he should see himself for what he is in the mind of God; the object of His love.
