- Noah's Flood: Who Shut the Door of the Ark? (Genesis 7)
The ark as a seed bank
The ark carried a breeding pair of every living kind, and seven pairs of the clean ones. When the water went down, everything needed to fill the earth again, and to build the first altar (Genesis 8:20), was already inside. God undid creation in the flood so He could start it again from the ark.
