HOW LONG did Noah preach before the flood?

Evidently for 120 years he gave the Gospel message of warning the world of a coming flood, and pointing out the only sure refuge. Rabbi Leeser’s Jewish translation of Gen. 6: 3 reads: “My Spirit shall not always strive for the sake of man, for that he is but flesh; yet his days (of grace) shall be a hundred and twenty years.” The Lord revealed the coming flood to Noah (Amos 3: 7), that Noah might tell others. Noah was a “preacher of righteousness” (2 Peter 2: 5), by faith (Heb. 11: 7). He evidently began to tell people as soon as the Lord revealed to him the present truth for that day, and 120 years was all he had to do it in.
