Culture Notes: The highest mountain in the world known to man is Mt. Everest. It is impossible to have a flood this high? No! During this flood, God only returned the water near to its original depth when the earth was yet in darkness before God transformed the earth into a habitable planet in five days.

The ark floated high up beyond the height of the clouds for the flood was so deep and high covering the highest mountain to over twenty feet. Figuratively speaking, God took Noah above the clouds shut in the ark while all people who did not believe God perished with the flood.

God gave them 120 years to repent before He punished them but they did not. They followed sin and Satan. They did not know that Satan only wanted all mankind dead so the Male Offspring savior will never be born to crush him. God saved Noah because he did not follow sin and Satan. Apparently Satan deceived mankind not to believed God's words. All who did not believe God's perished. Everyone who neglected God during the 120 years He gave them a chance to repent perished because they neglected God and followed their own ways. No ungodly escaped from God's judgment.

Genesis 7:24 [24]And the floodwaters covered the earth for 150 days.

Genesis 8:1 [1]But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and livestock with him in the boat. He sent a wind to blow across the earth, and the floodwaters began to recede.

Noah and those that were with him were safe in the ark. It was God who told Noah to make an ark in order to save them from the flood. God's plan for Noah's salvation worked. Noah's faith in God and His words were not in vain.

God remembered Noah and He caused the flood to recede because God still had a promise to fulfill to Noah.

Genesis 8:3-4 [3]So the floodwaters gradually receded from the earth. After 150 days, [4]exactly five months from the time the flood began, the boat came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.

Culture Notes: Mt. Ararat is 16,000ft. High and is located in turkey. Noah's ark rested on its top while still the rest of the water receded. This height is still beyond the clouds proving that the flood was universal and incredibly deep.
