Reading for February 8th

Read Genesis 7.11-24
In verse 11 in this version, the flood results from the upper and lower waters of
chaos pouring back into the earth.
In essence, God reverses the creation of Gen 1.
All the fountains of the great deep burst forth from below the earth.
Above the earth, God opens the windows of the heavens in the dome of the sky (1.6-8)
and allows the watery chaos to pour onto the earth.
In verses 17-24 the gradual flooding and disappearances of the dry land and the death of humans, animals, creeping things, and birds returns the world to its pre-creation state,
undoing what God did in Gen 1.9-27.
