NOAH TO ABRAHAM

MODULE 3: SESSION 17: The Flood Waters Recede

The restoration of people and animals to the land after the flood is both a re-creation and a new creation. Creation in the biblical imagination is about more than where things began; it’s about the transition from non-order to order and the transition from death to life. Noah, his family, and the animals exit the ark on the first day of the calendar—the new creation coinciding with the start of the year. This pattern recurs throughout Scripture.
