On this podcast, Fr. John and Danny discuss how Noah’s ark is portrayed as a temple, echoing Eden’s Holy of Holies and anticipating Israel’s tabernacle and temple (Gen. 6:13–17). The Flood narrative is arranged chiastically, with its turning point at “God remembered Noah” (Gen. 8:1), where divine intervention mirrors the Spirit hovering over the waters in creation (Gen. 1:2). Emerging on the mountains of Ararat, Noah and the animals receive the creation blessing to “be fruitful and multiply” (Gen. 9:1), showing God’s plan to restore His cosmic temple through covenant and grace.
