The flood has accomplished its purpose, and now God begins to restore his creation. God's dominion over creation is on display as he closes the fountains of the deep, shuts the windows of heaven, restrains the rain, and directs the wind to dry up the floodwaters. The Ark came to rest.

Genesis
The story of Noah is a Sunday School classic. It comes home with art and animals. Nurseries are decorated with this as the theme. However, to look at this as only a whimsical children's story is to neglect what the story actually tells us occurred. This is a frightening story that should shake us into a sober awareness of the truth that sin brings the judgment, wrath, and death.
The story has been amazing as the loving, creative God makes and establishes a happy home for fellowship and enjoyment. The apex of his creation assumes the roles and responsibilities in a blissful existence. However, Genesis three takes a terrible and unforeseen turn. A new character appears in the story without warning and catches the reader off guard.
Genesis gives us the origin story, but the inception of this story is a start that one cannot begin to fully comprehend. God exists eternally, but Genesis gives a glimpse of eternity past before God created anything. It shows that God chose to create and show his power through divine and spoken word.
