Translation
Thereafter, because of gigantic clouds pouring incessant water, the ocean began to overflow onto the land and inundate the entire world.
Gigantic clouds poured incessant water; the ocean overflowed and inundated the world. The predicted flood arrives on schedule. Prophecy fulfilled exactly. Time keeps its appointments.
Reflection Questions
