January 18: Genesis 8:10 Then Noah waited another seven days, and sent out the dove; and it did not return to him any more.

Imagine the whole earth, brand new and clean. The dove, as she flew over water and dry land, had the very best view ever. As soon as the rest of the ark emptied out, and all of the creatures began to live and move about again, our ancestors also began to sin again. It would be many generations until the human family would once again catch the vision of a new earth. Jesus would be there, and it would also include a new heaven. Come, Lord Jesus.
