And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
All Commentaries on Genesis 7:7 Go To Genesis 7
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
Christ was also represented in Noah, and the world, in that ark. For why were all living creatures shut up in that ark except to signify all the nations? For God did not lack the capability of creating anew every species of living things. For when no creatures were in existence, did he not say, “Let the earth bring forth” and the earth brought forth? So from the same source as he made them then, he could remake them. God made them by a word, so God could remake them by a word. .
