In the time of Noah, humanity had descended into complete moral corruption just 1,500 years after Adam and Eve. God, grieving over humanity's wickedness, provided a way of escape through Noah, who was righteous and walked with God. The ark represented God's provision of salvation, with only those inside being saved from the waters of judgment. This ancient story points to God's ultimate plan of redemption through Jesus Christ, demonstrating both divine justice and mercy.
