“Sign Of The Covenant”

“The Noahic Covenant”, found in Genesis 9:8-17,{ It reads in Genesis 9:8-17,~ Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him: “I now establish my covenant with you and with your descendants after you and with every living creature that was with you-the birds, the livestock and all the wild animals, all those that came out of the ark with you-every living creature on earth. I establish my covenant with you: Never again will all life be destroyed by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.” And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.” So, God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant I have established between me and all life on the earth.”}
This is the promise that God made to Noah and his descendants after the flood which destroyed the world. The Noahic Covenant has several distinguishing features. First, it is an unconditional covenant. Second, it was made to Noah and all his descendants as well as “every living creature” and the earth in general. All life is sacred. Human life is especially so. Protecting it is of utmost importance to God. He takes this so seriously and personally because He made humanity to reflect Him. We are His earthly representatives, made in His image. To murder another person is to mount an attack on the One who created him”. “It reads in Genesis 9:8-10,~But God was not finished. He had more to say both to Noah and his sons. Eternal One: Look, for I am now going to make a pact, a special covenant, with you and all your descendants. This covenant also extends to every living creature in the world, the birds, the domesticated animals, and every wild animal on the earth, as many as emerged with you from the ark.

Third, it was sealed with a sign of the rainbow.

The Noahic Covenant is an unconditional covenant because it does not rely upon anything Noah or his descendants had to do to fulfill the covenant. The promise is based upon God’s faithfulness alone. God’s faithfulness to always do what He says He will do, we can know today with certainty that there will never be another worldwide flood as there was in the days of Noah, no matter how evil mankind becomes. Neither the evilness nor the righteousness of mankind affects this unconditional covenant. There is no “condition” under which God will go back on His promise. This does not mean that God will never again destroy the earth, however. He has promised to one day destroy the earth by fire. It reads in 2 Peter 3:10-11; But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, ) &(It reads in Revelation 20:9, And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. This represents the final lesson, final judgment, and final victory of the end times. Satan is bound, but not destroyed, and released after a thousand years of peace and righteousness. in the terrible events known as the “day of the Lord.”
” It reads in Revelation 21:1,~ And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. So, in 2 Peter 3:13: The ancient Jews believed that God would renew the heavens and the earth at the end of seven thousand years. It reads in 2 Peter 3:13, ~ Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
