Commentary
Genesis 6:18 has the first use of the word "covenant" in
Scripture and along with it this passage presents to us nothing less than
a clarion, bold faced announcement by God of the fact that He is
Establishing a Covenant with someone. Now here's the question; How
important is this Covenant God established with Noah and ~~every living
creature of all flesh~~? Is this Covenant more important than the other
Covenants that are related to soteriology, salvation and the Gospel?..
Namely, the Mosaic, or Old Covenant and the New Covenant? Is this
Covenant God made with Noah and ~~every living creature of all flesh~~
More important? Not only Not but it is not even on an equal plane with
them. And yet God saw fit to state plainly that He was cutting a
covenant with Noah and ~~every living creature of all flesh~~
while at the same time there is ~~Nothing At All~~ stated
=Anywhere= in the first three chapters of Genesis of God making Any
Covenant with Anybody! Nothing; Zilch; Nada; Epess. In fact you will
find that all through the Bible whenever God makes a Covenant with
anybody it is -plainly stated-, as for example here in this passage.
Yet nowhere in the first 3 chapters of Genesis is it stated that God
cut the 10 commandment Covenant with Adam in the garden, or anybody
else... contrary to Covenant Theologians' claim that it was. Genesis 1 to 3
contains a lot of major doctrines of Christianity which are plainly
stated. Why would God not plainly state that He was cutting a covenant
with somebody here in Genesis 1 to 3 while He does so in all the other
places in the Bible? See the next verse.
