When one stands in awe before HaShem’s, Greatness, they are purified of the darkness associated with their physical body, and is enveloped by the Divine Presence. The greater this awe, the greater the purification and envelopment. Feeling awe of HaShem is particularly important while studying Torah and performing mitzvots, for the learning and observances cannot serve their ultimate purpose without it.
From the “RaMCHaL”–Derech HaShem–Rabbi Moshe Chaim Luzzatto. Page 261–269.

The third world, was the Dor haMabbul, the contemporaries of Noach who were destroyed by the deluge. It was in this generation that had a most uncommon environment. The sages (Sanhedrin 108A) ascribe to them the fortune depicted by Job 21:8-13, as the all too common circumstance of scoundrels: Their children grow up healthy, and their descendants stand before their eyes. Their homes are peaceful, without fear, and the rod of Elokim’s discipline is not used on them. His bull impregnates his cow, and does not reject; his cow drops the calf, and does not abort. They send their children outdoors like sheep, and their infants dance. They play music on drums and harps, and they cheer to the sound of the flute. They spend their days in good times….

The study of Torah is an absolutely necessary matter, for without it, one cannot do what one is supposed to do, how can one do it? In addition, however, Torah study in its own right is an end itself, for it plays a very large role in bringing all beings to perfection.

Until the third day of creation the earth was level and as featureless as a plain, and water covered the whole earth. When Elokim said, “The waters shall gather,” the mountains and hills arose from the ends of earth and spread over the entire globe. The places without these features became the valleys and the lowlands. The water flowed into depressions in the earth and they became the seas.

Serving Elokim involves two elements: study and observance. Observances are divided into four categories: those that are continuous and constant; those that are performed once a day or a fixed number of times per day; that are periodic; those are occasional or circumstantial. Continuous observances are those which are incumbent upon mankind at all times, such as the fearand love of Elokim/HaShem. Periodic observances include matters that must be observed at specific times, such as Shabbat observance and the Holy days. Circumstantial observances are those which depend on events and situations. Thus, for example, one can fill the commandment of separating the dough offering (challah) only when one bakes.

We read in the Torah that the people at the time of the mabbul were punished by water, and the people of S’dom were punished by fire. From the use of the word “רבה” (great), in both instances, we deduced that the generation of the mabbul also suffered by fire, and the citizens of S’dom too were punished by water. For twenty-five years prior to the destruction of S’dom Elokim brought tremors onto the land and made mountains around S’dom quake to warn the people that they must repent, but they did not take the hint. Therefore, the four cities of S’dom and its suburbs were situated on one table of rock. The angel turned over the rock and with that one act the cities were overturned.

Another difference between Moshe and all other prophets was that all others could not voluntarily initiate a prophetic vision, but could only do so when Elokim willed to bring His Influence to bear on them. Moshe, on the other hand, could do so at will. He was given the ability to bind himself to Elokim whenever necessary, and thus experience a revelation. This is what Elokim meant when He said of Moshe (Numbers 12:7), “He is trusted in all My house.” Elokim likewise told Moshe (Exodus 33:19), “I will make all My good pass before you.”
