And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
-- Gen. 1:9 (KJV)
In this verse, God gives the command for the water to remain together in one place so that the land masses underneath would appear. If the water upon the earth was high enough to cover the entire earth, then why isn't the entire earth underwater now? The reason is due to the various wind currents that keep the waters from drowning everyone on this planet.
Remember in verse two of this chapter that the "Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters." The Spirit of the God moves like the wind. When He spoke the command to keep the waters from drowning the earth, then His movement of the waters ensures that the earth will not be inundated with water. However, the lack of stewardship by mankind over the environment will continue to result in massive flooding worldwide.
Numerical Analysis: The numerical pattern for this verse is 1,9. (1) To follow God, listen to Him. (9) To overturn evil, remain in unity.
