The Uncreating
When God created the heavens and the earth, he brought order out of disorder. He separated light from dark, and the waters from the land, and fixed a boundary for the waters. Etc.
Now, with the Flood, God is uncreating that which he previously created:
“In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, on the seventeenth day of the second month—on that day all the springs of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened.” [Genesis 7:11]
God removes the boundaries and allows the waters of chaos to roll back in.
The question is, Why?
We’ll need to keep reading to answer that question.
