CHAPTER 18
JUDGE RIGHTLY, SON OF MAN:
LET US MAKE OUR COVENANT.
THE LORD had shown me HIS Creation from within Eden. I now observed scene of Paradise from HIS Cleansed Creation of the garden planet upon which we dwell. I had never so fully appreciated the glory of the Creation of this earthen speck of dust in the heavens, so full of the Lord’s life.
Old Noah (who looked 600 years old) worshiped the LORD.
I HAVE GIVEN MY MAN NOAH BUT ONE COMMAND.
Genesis 8:15 Then God spoke to Noah, saying,
16 “Go out of the ark, you and your wife, and your sons and your sons’ wives with you.17 Bring out with you every living thing of all flesh that is with you: birds and cattle and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, so that they may abound on the earth, and be fruitful and multiply on the earth.”
Noah (as I had remembered from my Bible picture books) had led the animals “by twos, male and female;” but Noah had entered the ark with fourteen of each of the clean animals. (Genesis 7:2)
Noah now sacrificed one of each of these of the fourteen clean animals. (Genesis 8:20) This was the sacrifice to which GOD came once more down to Noah.
Because of Adam’s disobedience, GOD had cursed the ground now cleansed. What is God’s redemption for this new ‘adam of a cleansed Creation?
Noah will not have hedged-in garden, but dominion through God over all the earth.
What covenant could hold back the evil yet to come?
What agreement would I want with God’s new ‘adam?
