The Flood

The two panels in the piece below can be read in either direction. Thus, starting with the bottom panel, it was the pervasive evil of mankind that necessitated the flood to cleanse the earth. The upper panel depicts a fresh start for humanity and a promise from God that the earth would never again be destroyed in the same manner. However, even snakes were aboard the ark. And their descendants, both animal and human, have led to the same situation as in Noah's day (back to the bottom panel).
