Noah

Found grace in a generation otherwise lost; builds the ark by faith over decades while the world watches and mocks; is moved with fear and prepares; preserves a remnant; later vulnerable in the new beginning to wine and shame. Failure mode: After the deliverance, the lapse in the tent. Restoration path: Walk with God; build what you are told even when no rain has fallen; do not assume the new world is exempt from old weaknesses. Markers: singular righteous among the corrupt; commissioned to build at scale; obeyed long before vindication; preserved a remnant; new-world lapse after deliverance
