Noah
Noah was a righteous man who, warned by God of a coming flood, built an ark and preserved life on the earth.
In a generation Scripture describes as filled with violence, Noah “found favor in the eyes of the LORD.” He is called blameless and one who walked with God, set apart in a corrupt age.
God told Noah to build an enormous ark to save his family and pairs of every kind of animal from a flood that would cover the earth. Noah obeyed, and the waters came as warned, then receded.
When Noah stepped onto dry land he built an altar, and God set the rainbow in the sky as the sign of a covenant never to destroy the earth by flood again — a promise of mercy after judgment.
