0:00.0 | Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble and I'm your host for the Bible Recap. |
0:07.0 | Today in Genesis 8 through 11, we read about the aftermath of the Great Flood. |
0:17.0 | Everything on Earth has been destroyed except for what's on the Ark. |
0:20.0 | These eight people, Noah, his wife, their three sons, and their three wives, |
0:23.7 | plus the animals. Post-flood, we see God establishing the covenant with Noah that he promised |
0:28.8 | pre-flood. God is engaging with this family of people and promising to be faithful to them, |
0:34.0 | despite how every other aspect of their world has shifted dramatically. |
0:38.0 | Everyone they know is dead, the world is muddy and gross, |

1:18.0 | He enters into this covenant with them, promising he will never again destroy the earth with a flood. |
1:22.0 | Later in scripture in 2nd Peter 3, he will never again destroy the earth with a flood. |
1:23.0 | Later in scripture in 2 Peter 3, |
1:25.2 | we find out that he will someday destroy the earth with a fire |
1:27.7 | but not a flood. |
1:28.8 | And in the same way that the earth existed |
1:30.9 | after it was destroyed by water, because we're standing on it right now. |
