For C. H. Spurgeon it was an axiom that God sends preachers into the world so that sinners may be reconciled to him. Admittedly, there may be some notable exceptions to this rule (e.g. Noah and Jeremiah), but for the most part, God has ordained the preaching of the gospel for the purpose of saving the hearers.

I wonder why he makes the exception? Noah was a preacher or righteousness. Who was he preaching to then?
I think the exception comes in the fact that Noah’s preaching didn’t aid in the reconciliation of men to God, because God had already decreed that they would perish.
