1st month, 1st day 23 March 2012 Genesis 8:13: Ark Covering removed!
The second one-hundred-fifty-day period ended just ten days before the beginning of the new year, the final or Jubilee Year. Genesis 8:3 noted that “the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.” Now, ten days later, Genesis 8:13 states that “the face of the ground was dry,” using the Hebrew word 'adamah [H0127], meaning “soil, ground.”
By contrast, the next verse, Genesis 8:14, states that two months later “in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth [H0776: 'erets, meaning “the earth (at large, or partitively a land)”] dried.” It is a natural progression from the immediate soil being dry to eventually the entire world being dry.
Regardless of the scope the two statements in Genesis 8, the symbolic truth of these statements is that there are no longer undecided people on the earth. The day Enoch described when “all the wicked and godless are to be removed” from the earth is passed and those who remain “shall be all righteous.” Enoch 1:1; Isaiah 60:21.
Now the restored righteous people and their leaders “in the first month, the first day of the month, . . . removed the covering of the ark” of Yehuveh’s covenant, making the covenant exceedingly prominent and all-inclusing in every transaction. They literally “blow the lid off” Yehuveh’s intruction and fully restore every aspect of righteousness to what it was in the beginning! Study the section Removing the Covering in Noah’s Year of Deliverance. Genesis 8:13.
Yehuveh Himself assists with “blowing the lid off” His intruction and bringing true peace and prosperity back to all His people. Along with moral and spiritual restoraton comes very practical physical clean-up.
Very shortly after Yehuveh’s war is over, Yehuveh Himself initiates and makes the final clean-up possible by bring nature back into balance, providing the needed water supplies and suitable weather for abundant harvests and plentiful resources.
“Therefore the redeemed of Yehuveh shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and
everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow
and mourning shall flee away.” Isaiah 51:11.
“They shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall
repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.” Isaiah 61:4.
“For Yehuveh shall comfort Zion: He will comfort all her waste places; and He will make
her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of Yehuveh; joy and gladness
shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody. Hearken unto Me, My
people; and give ear unto Me, O My nation: for a law shall proceed from Me, and I
will make My judgment to rest for a light of the people.” Isaiah 51:3-4.
“Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem: for Yehuveh hath
comforted His people, He hath redeemed Jerusalem.” Isaiah 51:11; 61:4: 51:3-4; 52:9.
Peace and prosperity return. “The land shall yield her fruit, and ye shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety.” Leviticus 25:19.
