Rain falls for forty days, floodwaters cover the earth, and every living thing outside the ark is destroyed.
God shuts the door of the ark, and the fountains of the deep burst open while rain pours from the sky. The water rises until it covers even the highest mountains. Every person, animal, and bird outside the ark perishes. The flood lasts far longer than most people realize — Noah and his family are on the ark for over a year before the earth is dry enough to leave.
God tells Noah it's time to board the ark, the animals come in pairs, and then the flood arrives — not as a gentle rain, but as the full force of creation undone. And in the middle of it all, one quiet detail changes everything: God himself shut the door.
GenesisThe Day the Water StoppedAfter months of silence on an endless ocean, God remembers Noah. The waters pull back, a dove brings proof of dry land, and Noah steps out into a world that's been completely reset — then God makes a promise He's kept every single day since.
