In the cases of Noah, of Sodom and Gomorrah, and of Jerusalem, Jehovah was executing judgment on those who had ruined their way upon the earth, who had sullied this beautiful planet with literal pollution and moral degradation, and who had apostatized from, or rejected, true worship.
Noas laikā, kā arī tad, kad tika iznīcināta Sodoma un Gomora un Jeruzāleme, Jehova izpildīja tiesas spriedumu tiem, kas bija sabojājuši savu ceļu zemes virsū un apgānīja skaisto planētu, gan fiziski to piesārņodami, gan paši morāli pagrimdami, un kas bija atkrituši jeb atmetuši patieso pielūgsmi.
