It is Babylon, before the birth of Christ. Noah, the tenth descendant of Adam is the only righteous man in an age of iniquity. God is determined to save him and his family from the impending deluge. Noah is commanded by God to build an ark and to take with him two of every creature. When the waters subside, Noah sends a dove flying to find dry land. The dove returns with an olive branch, a rainbow streaks across the sky.
