God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant I have established between me and all life on the earth.” (Genesis 9:9-17)

In a poem about the world to come, John Piper writes,

And as I knelt beside the brook
To drink eternal life, I took
A glance across the golden grass,
And saw my dog, old Blackie, fast
As she could come. She leaped the stream—
Almost—and what a happy gleam
Was in her eye. I knelt to drink,
And knew that I was on the brink
Of endless joy. And everywhere
I turned I saw a wonder there.
