Biblical Faith - with Sam Peak
Weekly series with new shows available every Tuesday.
HaShem/Elokim first determined to destroy all living things and to reduce the vigor of the earth. That can be readily accomplished the way the previous worlds were destroyed, or, pehaps by a universal conflagration. But HaShem/Elokim was determined to preserve Noach and his family. Therefore HaShem/Elokim first told Noach to build a “Tayva” which does not mean a “ship”, but simply a “box.” It was not a means of locomotion (where was there to go?) but a box to insulate its inmates from the surrounding environment. Then HaShem/Elokim announced He would bring the mabbul, the withering and wearing action, and in order to make it possible to preserve Noach and his tennants in the tayva, it would be a mabbul of water. The order of HaShem/Elokim’s statement is perfectly logical.
From “Mysteries of the Creation” by Rabbi Dovid Brown. We are studying from the following pages: pg. 116–124.

Bereishit 8:22, “As long as the earth lasts, planting and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, and day and night will not cease.” Sforno explains: “They ‘will not cease,’ but will continue in this unnatural condition which Elokim brought since the mabbul. Before the mabbul the apparent circuit of the sun was directly around the equator. The change in the attitude of the earth after the mabbul, so that the earth faces the sun at an inclination of the axis, it is the cause of the varying seasons. Before the mabbul the climate was perpetually warm due to the sun striking the earth directly at the equator. That environment was extradordinarily robust compared to the modern world’s and the earth had greater energy in all its members, mineral, vegetable, animal, and human. For this reason their lives were extraordinarily long.”
