Genesis 8:1-19

New creation: the bright future for humanity (with Q&A)

We long for relief and rest from the terrors that tyrannise humanity: human wickedness and death. Noah means ‘rest’ and this account promises relief; but only as God acts in cataclysmic judgment and grace to bring a new world. This prototype of salvation sets the trajectory for us to understand the one hope of rest God gives to all mankind.
