Was he the last Adam?
No, 1 Corinthians 15:45 says the last Adam is Jesus, so the next Adam is different.
Does the Bible refer to him as such?
No, I just made it up.
Right! Inventing stuff is unbiblical, isn’t it?
I am not inventing, just driving a point. The words “Rapture” and “Trinity” are not in the Bible; yet they are biblical. 
So tell me, who is he?
Well, if you continue to read, you’ll find out.

God’s Grievance
When Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden, God's glory abandoned them; God’s curse seized them. Guilt gripped their hearts, sins muddled their life, and what’s worse, their sinful nature was passed on to human race.

Motivated by jealousy, Cain slew his younger brother Abel. Hence, God cursed him, “Now you are under a curse…When you work the ground, it will no longer yield its crops for you. You will be a restless wanderer on the earth." (Genesis 4:11-12, NIV)

With his wife, Cain fled to Nod where they bore many children.

As people increased in number, they became so corrupt; it broke God’s heart: "I will wipe mankind… and creatures that move along the ground, and birds of the air—for I am grieved that I have made them." (Genesis 6:6-7 NIV)

The Big Stop Sign
Determined to purge the “bad seeds” that stemmed from Cain’s progeny, verse 8 starts with a Big Stop Sign.

Genesis 6:8a But…

The word “but” implies a contradiction from the previous statement(s). In the context of Genesis 6, it connotes a swift change of God’s heart where an impending hope was on sight.

As God deliberated on His plan, He noticed someone that caused Him to pause momentarily…
 
Genesis 6:8-9 BUT Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked with God. (NIV)

… “reviewed” His plan one last time, and made a drastic alteration.

Genesis 6:13-18  So God said to Noah, “I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence… So make yourself an ark … I am going to bring floodwaters on the earth to destroy all life … But I will establish my covenant with you, and you will enter the ark—you and your sons and your wife and your sons' wives with you.” (NIV)

Thereafter, the rest was history.

Like Soldiers Gallantly Marching
Under God’s strict guidance, Noah built the Ark (450 ft long, 75 ft wide, 45 ft high) for roughly 100 years. With wife, three sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth and their wives, and pairs of animals, Noah entered the Ark at age 600.

Dark clouds painted the sky; drizzle drenched the barren ground, “Good for the crops,” the people thought, while their boisterous spree filled the air. The rain muted the sound of their riotous laughter, festive eating, drinking rampage, and wedding party celebrations; the downpour became stronger and stronger. The fierce drops got thicker, relentless, deafening like thousand soldiers gallantly marching on the roofs of their houses. The heavy rain turned into spear-like spate, it continued for 40 days and night.

The torrent rose 20 feet above the highest mountain; the Ark preserved the survivors as it floated for 150 days. Every living creature that breathed by the nostril was lifeless. The deluge reduced the earth’s seven billion population (as calculated by Bible scholars) to chosen eight.

The Rainbow Sealed the Deal
When it was time for the remnants (including the animals) to come out of the Ark, they were all a year older. First things first, Noah thought! He built an altar and sacrificed burnt offerings of some of the clean animals.

Noah’s simple gesture to thank and to worship the Father through burnt offerings caused God to offer a covenant with Noah, his children and the generations to come. He promised never to curse the ground and to destroy all living creatures with flood. To seal the deal, a rainbow was diffused in the sky to remind both parties of the agreement.

They all came out of the Ark with new vigour, deep respect for God their Saviour. They all witnessed the saving grace of the Father who separated the righteous from the wicked.

Rephrasing the Commands
The pinnacle of their flood journey was when God rephrased the commands he told Adam and Eve in Genesis 1:28.

Genesis 9:1-3 “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth. The fear and dread of you will fall upon all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air, upon every creature that moves along the ground, and upon all the fish of the sea; they are given into your hands. Everything that lives and moves will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.”

Both Adam and Noah were commanded to be fruitful, to increase, and to fill the earth. Similar responsibilities, but heaps of differences--these will be discussed in Part 2.

So, can you guess who the next Adam I was referring to?
Yes, now I can!
Do you understand now why I called him as such?
Definitely! Ooh! I think, Noah will be a better Adam. Perhaps, you can change your title to “The Better Adam”...
