IMO the God of the old testament represents an effort to illustrate that the laws of nature are harsh & unforgiving.
Gravity doesn't give a shit about how much you want to fly or how good your intentions are. If you do not accept that you have to work within the constraints of reality, then reality will crush you. Plagues & floods & economic catastrophes happen, or are most destructive, when people have not properly learned from those who came before them, or when people simply refuse to see the warning signs.
The lesson of Noah & others is that sometimes there are people who see things you cannot see. There are a lot of people today who have been warning of the coming monetary disaster. A disaster that is inevitable because there are people in powerful positions who insist on trying to defy the laws of economics. Unfortunately, most of the world won't listen, & when it happens many of the normies will probably blame the very people who tried to warn them.
If your idea of truth comes from human authority then you will be wrecked right along with everyone else. If your idea of truth extends from your own efforts to develop some independent understanding of reality no matter what other people think, then you are more likely to hear what others have to say, & to recognize the warning signs, so your chances are better.
