The Covenant of the Rainbow

 

1And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. 2And 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. 3Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things. 4But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat. 5And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man.

 

6Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.

 

7And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.

 

8And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying, 9And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you; 10And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth. 11And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.

 

12And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: 13I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. 14And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: 15And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. 16And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth. 17And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.

 

Noah's Sons

 

18And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan. 19These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread.

 

Noah's Shame and Canaan's Curse

 

20And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard: 21And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent. 22And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without. 23And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness. 24And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.

 

25And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.

 

Shem's Blessing and Noah's Death

 

26And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

 

27God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

 

28And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years. 29And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.

Shalom brother and sister,

It's remarkable to think we all came through one of these three sons and therefore Noah.  I think that is an amazing fact people often overlook, instead focusing on Adam and Eve as our sharedgenetic forebears.

Modern science is starting to catch up with the idea of "all nations from three main races" now, which is very interesting.  The idea that all of Noah's sons would have been a different colour is incredible and of course necessary, considering the diversity in the world today.  This also ties in very well with the prophecies in the Book of Enoch which depicts his sons as different from each other in colour as well.

Love & Shalom
