because back in noah's days, God had to flood it to teach his people. and since God love's us, he wont do it ever again. nbut you must understand he said "i will never flood the WHOLE EARTH' so that means, there will BE floods, just not the whole earth at once.
God promised not to flood the earth again as a sign of his covenant with humanity after the Great Flood. This covenant symbolizes God's mercy and desire to not destroy the world in such a catastrophic way.
The symbol of God's promise to Noah is the rainbow, as mentioned in the Bible after the Great Flood. God set the rainbow in the sky as a sign of his covenant to never again destroy the earth with a flood.
The great flood is a catastrophic event that involves a large amount of water submerging land that is usually dry. It is often associated with heavy rainfall, melting snow, or the overflow of bodies of water like rivers or oceans. The story of a great flood is found in many different cultures and mythologies around the world.
Before Noah's flood, it is believed that the earth had a different climate and landscape. The environment was likely warmer and more tropical, with different land and sea formations compared to today.
In the book of Genesis, the flood was described as covering the earth to a depth of more than 20 feet (6 meters) above the highest mountains. This catastrophic event was meant to cleanse the earth of wickedness and start anew with Noah and his family.
The Great Flood is a myth found in many cultures and religions around the world, such as in the Bible with the story of Noah's Ark. The exact location of where this flood is said to have happened varies depending on the cultural or religious account being referenced.
The symbol of God's promise to Noah is the rainbow, as mentioned in the Bible after the Great Flood. God set the rainbow in the sky as a sign of his covenant to never again destroy the earth with a flood.
He would not flood the world again with water
The rainbow represents a promise by God himself. The promise is that he will never flood the Earth again.
False. The Flood was the event, the Rainbow was God's sign that He would never destroy the earth again with water.
the earth recovers from a flood by growing over the area. usually the water washes away.
God's first covenant was with noah, stating that he will never destroy the earth with water again and established the rainbow as a promise.
In most Lutheran churches and in the Catholic church, there is no specific meaning for each specific color. As a whole however, the rainbow represents God's promise to never send another event that would destroy the entire earth as in the great flood.
According to the Bible, God believed the people on Earth were becoming evil and sinning to much. So He called Noah, one that was good, and told him to build an ark and put two animal of every species and his family on the ark. Then He washed the Earth clean of everyone with a great flood, but He promised to never to do it again and the rainbow is the symbol of His promise.
The earth was potentially all water
In Genesis 7 we are told that "all the fountains of the deep were broken up and the windows of heaven were opened" thus producing rain and flooding that covered the whole earth and the rain continued for 40 days and 40 nights. In Genesis 7:24 we learn that the waters continued to cover the earth for 150 days after the rain stopped. In Genesis 8 God sent a wind to pass over the whole earth thereby causing the water to evaporate (a physical law still in effect today) and suspend in the atmosphere as clouds. The water receded into the fountains of the deep from where they came and after the time stated, Noah and his family was able to walk out on dry land. All of the water that rained and flooded during this time is still here but climate change wasn't the only thing that happened to the earth after the flood. There is good evidence that all of the land mass on earth was in one piece. Sometime after the flood it was broken up into what we have today. Plate Tectonics explains, or proves, this to be a reality. Therefore the mountain ranges we have now were not as high as they are today so were God to flood the earth again (which He promised never to again-see Genesis 9) the entire earth could not be covered over with water. Finally, the rainbow is God's sign of this promise to never flood the earth again.
For nearly one year
is all the water of the flood still in the earth?
