The flood was a divine judgment on a corrupt world, and Noah's survival signifies a new beginning for humanity. The flood narrative is a pivotal event, symbolizing both judgment and salvation. It parallels the concept of baptism in the New Testament, representing death to sin and a new life in Christ (<a href="/1_peter/3-20.htm">1 Peter 3:20-21</a>). The floodwaters cleansed the earth, much like how baptism symbolizes the washing away of sin.<p><b>Noah lived</b><br>Noah's life post-flood is a testament to God's grace and the fulfillment of His promises. Noah is a patriarchal figure, and his longevity is indicative of the blessings bestowed upon him. His life serves as a bridge between the antediluvian (pre-flood) and postdiluvian (post-flood) worlds. Noah's righteousness and obedience to God are highlighted in <a href="/genesis/6-9.htm">Genesis 6:9</a>, making him a type of Christ, who is the ultimate righteous one.<p><b>350 years</b><br>The mention of 350 years emphasizes the extended lifespans of early biblical figures, which gradually decreased after the flood. This longevity allowed Noah to witness the repopulation and re-civilization of the earth. It also underscores the continuity of God's covenant with humanity through Noah. The number 350, while not directly symbolic, contributes to the biblical theme of completeness and divine order, as seen in the genealogies and chronologies of Genesis. Noah's extended life allowed him to impart wisdom and knowledge to subsequent generations, ensuring the preservation of God's laws and teachings.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/n/noah.htm">Noah</a></b><br>A righteous man chosen by God to survive the flood and repopulate the earth.
