THE FLOOD
This morning, listening to my Bible CD, I heard a line in the flood story that slipped by me whenever I read the text myself. Genesis 7:11 -- "...the underground waters burst forth on the earth, and the rain fell in mighty torents from the sky." (NLT) It's interesting that the water came from below as well as from above. I suspect the emphasis is on the fact that God was doing a total job. He let things rip from all possible sources. Talk about a complete paradigm shift.
