Fulfilled hereRomans 6:4
Peter calls the flood waters a symbol of baptism, and Paul explains the reality: burial with Christ in baptism and rising with Him to newness of life.
“We were buried therefore with him through baptism to death, that just like Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.”
