#130 - Bible 101 - Noah&God's Bow - Redemption&Covenant (pt. 2) - a podcast by Fig Tree Ministries
from 2023-05-23T00:51:43
The generations following Adam and Eve became wicked, violent, and murderous. God's heart was grieved, and, in His wisdom, He decided to"start over"through Noah and his family.
Noah's story is a"de-creation"followed by"re-creation"and a new beginning for humanity. After the flood, God makes a covenant with humanity through Noah as the covenant mediator.
His promise to humanity is that He will not destroy the earth again with a flood, and as a sign of the covenant, God sets his"bow"in the clouds.
In today's lesson, we will explore the ancient context of the Hebrew word for"bow"and the implications for how we understand this remarkable covenant with humanity.
