Ep 11 - God’s Covenant with Creation

Voyage | Book of Revelation & Genesis | Shalom World

The earth undergoes a cleansing by water, which lasted for forty days and nights, wiping out every creature except those present in the Ark. Irish Scripture Scholar Frances Hogan delves into Chapters 7, 8, and the first half of Chapter 9 of the Book of Genesis. God remembered and took care of the Ark and the preservation of those in the Ark, which shows us that all who enter the Church will be saved. We also note the similarities between Adam and Noah, in their atonement for sin which restored the garment of grace. Both went through the curse upon their posterity and received the promise of future redemption. The cosmic battle between satan and God continues, with pride, arrogance, dominance, and violence serving as the signs of satan's presence. Through the Book of Genesis, we gain a deeper understanding of God's infinite patience and grace.
