After the flood, Noah and his family and the animals on the ark were the only living on the earth. God had fulfilled the destruction of all other living on the earth as He said He would to Noah.
God did not forget Noah, though. He made certain that Noah was safe and secure through it all! God spoke to Noah when the earth was dry to leave the ark with his family and animals.
After leaving the ark, Noah built an altar and made burnt offerings to the Lord. Following is the Lord's response to the offerings:
"And the Lord smelled a sweet savour; and the Lord said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of mans's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done" (Genesis 8:21).
"While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease" (Genesis 8:22).
For more on this, turn to Genesis 6-8.
