“And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;”
If he did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a herald of righteousness, when he brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly — Noah's preservation alongside the world's destruction illustrates the principle of divine discrimination: the righteous are spared within judgment. Noah as keryx dikaiosynēs (herald of righteousness) suggests his preaching of repentance to the antediluvian world. The flood represents creation's refusal to sustain ungodliness.
