HaShem informed Noach that the new basis on which the world is to function after the mabbul, with an inclination of the axis and, consequently, subject to changing seasons, will continue “all the days of the earth.” That means all the days of the present world, until HaShem will have repaired the damages caused by the mabbul.
That new world is referred to by Yeshayahu (Isaiah 66:12): “‘Just as the new heavens and the new earth which I am making will endure before Me,’ says HaShem, ’so will your children and your name endure.’” “The new heavens and the new earth” refer to the new cosmic organizations, identical to that before the mabbul, when the sun apparently revolved directly around the equator. At that time there will be general improvement in the constitution of the world, in mineral elements, plants, and living creatures, and in their longevity.

In G’morrah (Brochos 35B), we see how the ancients were superior. They made the study of Torah their main purpose in life, and their wok was secondary necessity, and they were sucessful at both. Recent generations make their work their main purpose and the study of Torah incidentail, and they fail at both. The ancients were careful to bring crops into their houses and barns through a main entrance, for only in that way do they become liable for maaser, or tithes, they valued the mitzva of maaser over the expense. Contemporary people go out of their way to bring their crops in through trap-doors and windows in order to evade the obligation of maaser.

In Bereishit Rabbi (6:3) we read, “It is natural the older of two brothers should set his calendar by the great luminary, and the younger by the lesser light. The descendants of Esav, the older son of Yitzchak, constructed their calendar by the sun, the greater light, and the descendants of Ya’akov base their calendar on the moon, the lesser one. This is to benefit Yisrael. Just as the progeny of Esav calculated by the sun and the sun functions only by day, not by night; so, the successors of Esav have power only in this world and no place in the future world. The grandchildren of Ya’akov set dates by the moon. Just as the moon shines by day, the descendants of Ya’akov have some power in this world and more especially in the future world. Too, just as moonlight is not evident as long as the sun shines, but when the sun sets the light of the moon is obvious, so, as long as the power of Esav is bright the light of Ya’akov is invisible. When the light of Esav will set, the light of Ya’akov will burst forth, as the novi (Yeshaya 16:1) sings, “Arise Yerushala’im, my light, because your light has risen, and the glory of HaShem shines on you. Darkness will cover the land, and blackness, the nations, and on you HaShem will shine, and His glory will be evident on you.”

Until the prophet Elisha (who lived over one-hundred years before Hezekiah) no one recovered from an illness. Elisha, ill, pleaded for his life and HaShem/Elokim granted it. Kings 2, 13:14, “Elisha became ill with the sickness from which he would die…” That implies that previously he became ill from a sickness from which he did not die. That illness was the first in history that was not fatal.

Hezekiah, King of Judah, was the first to be ill and cured. Hezekiah argued, “It isn’t good that a person has no second chance. If there were a possibility that a person could be cured from an illness, he would do t’shuva in hope that HaShem/Elokim would permit him to live. Without any hope he just gives up. HaShem/Elokim replied, “You ask a good thing; I will begin with you.”

Bereishit 12:1-3: HaShem/Elokim said to Avraham, “Go for your own sake from your country, from your native land, and from your father’s home to the Eretz that I will show you. I will you a great nation, bless you and make your name great, and you will become a blessing. I will bless those who will bless you and curse those who curse you, and all the families of the earth will be blessed through you.”

With the understanding we have learned, we need not wonder why HaShem/Elokim promised to eradicate the establishment He had made, when, in the event, He did not do so. While mankind was not quiet entirely wiped out, the establishment, the structure of mankind, was. For this reason, too, the genealogy from Adam to Noach calls itself (Bereishit 5:1): “This is an account of the descendants of man.” The genealogy totals each individual’s life span, for the purpose of the genealogy is to relate the history of those individuals.
The purpose of the mabbul, however, is unconcerned with individuals. The purpose is to relate the development of the races of mankind, the nations into which the children of Noach were to be divided. Therefore, the genealogy is prefaced (Noach, Bereishit 9:18,19): “The three sons of Noach who emerged from the ark were Shem, Cham, and Yafet, and the descendants of these spread over the whole earth.
