The Kingdom of God is seen as lesser than all other seeds sown into this World.
All the other seeds appear more sparkly & brilliant but take you down rabbit holes, no answers, no peace but asking more questions......

But when The Kingdom of God is sown, it becomes greater than all falsehoods.
Also providing rest for the weary.
[Mark 4:30 KJV] And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?
[Mark 4:31 KJV] [It is] like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:
[Mark 4:32 KJV] But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.
[Mark 4:33 KJV] And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear [it].
Im not sure about the flood Raven🤓🤔Interesting thought, TY Wombat..Its a very interesting study💖
Maybe something like the old testament Raven/ NT Dove..The Raven fed Elijah(of all prophets i note it was Elijah), the Dove settled onto Jesus with The Holy Spirit
Why did he send out the raven and then the Dove? Why two different birds..doves are known to be used as messengers because they return to the one who cares for them ( also pigeons) which were both accepted for sacrifice of sins..
The Bible also instructs not to eat ravens/crows
Dove
NAS: or a turtledove for a sin offering. KJV: pigeon, or a turtledove, for a sin offering, INT: pigeon or A turtledove A sin at.
A couple notes💖
The raven fed Elijah, was used by God to sustain him
Ravens are an example of God's gracious provision for all His creatures in Psalm 147:9 and Job 38:41. (In the New Testament as well, ravens are used by Jesus as an illustration of God's provision in Luke 12:24.)
