Exemption from “All Flesh” (Genesis 6:9–13)

Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church Season 6 Episode 7

How could God say to Noah, “An end to all flesh has occurred to me,” and not include Noah and his family? How could Noah and his family be exempted from ”all flesh”? Perhaps more importantly, how do we exempt ourselves from the destruction that is coming on all flesh on the Last Day?
