The ark has
run aground and the flood has gone, so God orders Noah: “Out you go!”
“Bewdy!...why
not just get on with life as before?
Hey Noah, why not round up those ‘clean animals’ and start a ranch?”
Without being told, Noah sacrifices some of those valuable animals on the
first altar, showing he accepts that God is justified in His judgments.
Man has gone
from innocence in the Garden of Eden to now having a conscience but some
theologians argue there is no such thing as ‘dispensations’ in the Bible. Let’s
see what’s new from here on…
- Man must now distinguish clean vs unclean
- Man now has governmental authority for capital punishment of murderers. Even animals that kill people must be killed.
- animals now fear man and any animal is fair game for food
- climate change? We have the first mention of clouds!
Hang
about! The voyage may be over but what
happened to that contract God promised?
Never again…will there be a global
flood. That’s unconditional!
So what is
the seal of this contract?...the rainbow in the clouds.
Even though
God knows Man’s heart is still evil, He decides to maintain the sun for the
benefit of life on Earth.
What else stays the
same?
God’s expectation of Man: made in
the image of God he is meant to fill the earth.
Oh and don’t forget: life is in the blood.
Alas, Man’s
sinful nature continues.
Today…is anything sacred? Is the sanctity of human
life upheld? Are murderers always executed?
The rainbow is now flaunted as 'gay pride' in Jerusalem, the City of the Great King!

NEXT…What
does it mean for us? Read more...
