📚 Historical Context
In the biblical narrative of Noah's flood, God had sent a worldwide deluge as judgment on human wickedness, sparing only Noah, his family, and pairs of animals inside the ark. After the waters had covered the earth for 150 days, they began to gradually recede, marking the transition from destruction to restoration as described in Genesis. This event underscores God's sovereignty over creation and His plan to renew the world.
