Genesis 8:14

And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.

On the twenty-seventh day of the second month the earth was dried after the flood. The flood was God's judgment by which He destroyed the world because of human sin and iniquity. The ark was the massive boat God provided to save all who would heed the warning and turn from unrighteousness.

All were tested by the truth that Noah preached, and those who believed it were saved. Yet only eight persons were saved. The growing sins of the present warn that God's coming judgment is certain, as the flood brought on by sin warns of judgment to come.
