Chapter 13: The Covenant of God's PromisesGod gave us covenants when He interceded for mankind. And the first covenant was the Flood through the water from the Father. And the second covenant was Light through the blood of the Son. And the third covenant shall be Fire through the fire of the Holy Spirit.
What are the covenants? A covenant is a promise made from God to mankind, paid with a sacrifice, and sealed with a sign. The first covenant with mankind was through Noah, and the sacrifice was mankind's death through the flood, and the sign was a rainbow from the sun in the clouds. (Genesis 9:14-17) Because of the sins of mankind, a sacrifice was made with the water, the power that is held by the Father. His sign of the covenant was a rainbow, which is created by the water and the sun. And through this covenant He promised, not to destroy man by water again, until the light of the rainbow was gone. And ironically the source of the rainbow is the sun, for during the wrath the sun will not give its light. 'Then the fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom became darkened.' (Revelation 16:10) |
