Baptism, Cleansing and Regeneration
God renewed the ground so that it would bear fruit again. The promise that God made to Noah. Noah's flood washed away the salts and toxic compounds that had accumulated. Earth was baptized.

August 30th
Noah's flood pictures the cleansing that we receive symbolically in baptism. The Earth was baptized and regenerated. Harmful pollutants which had been accumulating since the fall of man were washed into the oceans.
