Re-creation

Richard Davidson, writing in the Andrews University Seminary Studies (Spring 2004), shows that the restoration of the world after the flood follows the creation week:

1. Spirit/wind, Gen 1:2; 8:1
2. Division of waters, 1:6-8; 8:1-5
3. Dry land and plants, 1:9-13; 8:5-12
4. Lights, 1:14-19; 8:13-14
5. Animals (birds first), 1:20-23; 8:15-17
6. Animals with man, 1:24-31; 8:18-9:7
7. Sign of the covenant, 2:1-3; 9:8-17
