c. 2348 BC
God saw that human wickedness was great on the earth and determined to destroy all life with a flood. Noah, a righteous man, was instructed to build an ark to preserve his family and pairs of every living creature. The rain lasted forty days and nights.
The Flood demonstrates God's righteous judgment against sin while simultaneously revealing His grace in preserving a remnant. The rainbow covenant foreshadows God's ultimate promise of salvation.
