SUNDAY, 2ND OCTOBER, 2022.

Topic: EIGHT BIBLICAL COVENANTS – Part 5

MEMORIZE: ““And the Lord smelled a soothing aroma. Then the Lord said in His heart, "I will never again curse the ground for man's sake, although the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; nor will I again destroy every living thing as I have done.” Gen 8:21 (NKJV)

SCRIPTURE READING: Genesis 9:1-6.

“And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered. Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things. But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.  Surely for your lifeblood I will demand a reckoning; from the hand of every beast I will require it, and from the hand of man. From the hand of every man's brother I will require the life of man. "Whoever sheds man's blood, By man his blood shall be shed; For in the image of God He made man.” 

3. NOAHIC  COVENANT - (Gen. 9:1)

The Noahic Covenant. The elements are:

(1) The relation of man to the earth under the Adamic Covenant is confirmed - (Gen. 8:21)

(2) The order of nature is confirmed (Gen. 8:22)

(3) Human government is established (Gen. 9:1-6)

(4) Earth is secured against another universal judgment by water (Gen. 8:21; Gen. 9:11).

(5) A prophetic declaration is made that from Ham will descend an inferior and servile posterity (Gen. 9:24-25).

(6) A prophetic declaration is made that Shem will have a peculiar relation to Jehovah (Gen. 9:26-27). All divine revelation is through Semitic men, and Christ, after the flesh, descends from Shem.

(7) A prophetic declaration is made that from Japheth will descend the "enlarged" races (Gen. 9:27). Government, science, and art, speaking broadly, are and have been Japhetic, so that history is the indisputable record of the exact fulfillment of these declarations. - (Gen. 8:21).

THOUGHT OF THE DAY: BLOOD is LIFE. This is the reason the Blood of Jesus is able to forgive all sins and redeem sinners  from eternal destruction. Just believe in Jesus Christ. 

DAILY BIBLE READING IN A YEAR – Hosea 11-14.
