Parashat Noach
The flood narrative beautifully mirrors the original creation account in Genesis, showing how God brings order from chaos and new life from destruction. As the waters covered the earth, creation was essentially reversed to its primordial state. Then, as the waters receded, the same pattern of creation unfolded again – the separation of waters, the appearance of land, and the return of life. The Hebrew word for ark, ‘teva,’ can also mean ‘word,’ connecting this story to the power of God’s Word moving over the waters along with the Spirit to bring about new creation. Discover how this ancient story connects to Yeshua walking on water and Peter’s bold step of faith.
