NOAH: GOD'S COVENANT
WITH MANKIND
Genesis 6-9

Genesis 9:1-16
GOLDEN TEXT. --I will re.

9:15.
THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING
Time.—The traditional date for
the flood is set about 2350 B.C.
Archaeologists are now quite
united in believing that a great
flood took place in the Mesopo-
tamian valley about 3000 B.C.,
and there is nothing in the Bible
which makes it impossible for us
to accept this earlier date.
Place.—We.do not know where
Noah lived during the time he
built the Ark. Mt. Ararat, on
which the ark rested after the
flood, is in what is now known
as Armenia, near where the
Tigris River has its source, about
three hundred miles directly
north of the ancient city of
Babylon.
Command to Noah
1, "And God blessed Noah and
his sons, and said unto them, Be
fruitful, and multiply, and re-
plenish the earth." This com-
mand to Noah is exactly like the
command originally given to
Adam and Eve (Genesis 1:28).
2. "And the fear of you and
the dread of you shall be upon
every beast of the earth, and upon
every bird of the heavens; with
all wherewith the ground teem-
eth, and all the fishes of the sea,
into your hand are they delivered.
3. Every moving thing that liveth
shall be food for you; as the green
herb have I given you all. 4. But
flesh with the life thereof, whioh
is the blood thereof, shall ye not
eat." Noah is permitted to eat
the flesh of animals but he is
explicitly told not to eat the
flesh with blood in it—that ie the
animal must be slain before any
part of it is eaten for food.
Human Government
5. "And surely your blood, the
blood. of your lives, will I re-
quire; at the hand of every beast
will I require it: and at the hand
of man, even at the hand of every
man's brother will I require the
life of man. 6. Whoso sheddeth
assn's blood, by man shall his
blood be shed: for in the image
of God made he man. 7. And
you, be ye fruitful and multiply;
bring forthabundantly in the
earth, and multiply therein."
Here for the first time, we find
the principles of human govern-
ment set forth by God. Man is
given the right to execute judg-
ment upon evil doers, even to the
extent of taking the life of the
evil doer. This does not mean
that individuals are to take judg-
ment into their hands. but that
society, as constituted by the
races of men on earth, has the
right to exact the death penalty
from those who, chetnselves, are
guilty of murder. Man is made
in the image of God, and he that
destroys man in murder is des-
troying that which most per-
fectly should manifest the per-
son of God on earth.
The Great Covenant
8. "And God spake unto Noah,
and to his sons with him. saying,
9. And I, behold, I establish my
lovenant with you, and with your
seed after you; 10. And with
every living creature that is with
you, the birds, the cattle, and
every beast of the earth with you;
of all that go out of the ark, even
every beast of the earth. 11. And
I will establish my covenant with
sou; neither shall all flesh be cut
off any more by the waters of x
flood; neither shall there be any
more be a flood to destroy the
earth. 12. And God said, This
is the token of the covenant which
1 made between me and you and
every living creature that is with
you for perpetual generations•
13, I do set my Low in the cloud,
end it shall be for a token of et
covenant between me and the
earth. 14, And it shall come to
pass, when I bring a cloud over
the earth, that the bow shall be
seen in the cloud: 15. and 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. 16,
And 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."
The word `covenant' is one of
the great Bible words. It means
'a coming together.' As used of
a human transaction, it implies a
bargain, one party giving and the
other receiving. It also some-
times partakes of the nature of
a voluntary undertaking or pledge,
without any expectation of a re-
turn. This latter view is its char-
acteristic in the pasasge before
us, for we read only of God's
covenant with Noah, not Noah's
covenant with God. God binds
Himself, and lays down the line
of His relationship to plan. It
was for Noah simply to receive
this, to reckon upon it, and to
rely upon its blessings.
Purpose of the Covenant
The Purpose of the covenant
,should be earefully noted. It
was associated with the assurance
that human life should not be
cut off or the world destroyed any
more by R flood, The approprie
ateness of this revelation is ap-
parent, for at that time it must
have bean a real perplexity to
know whether there would be any
repetition in the future of what
they had experienced in the Flood.
Everything connected with their
relations to God had been altered
by that catastrophe, and now God
does not leave lean ignorant, but,
on the contrary, pledges Himself
not to bring another similar judg-
ment upon the earth,
Sign of the Covenant
The Sign of the covenant is
specially emphasized. The rain-
bow is now given a specific spiri-
tual meaning, and nature for the
first time becomes a symbol of
spiritual truth, the first of such
visible signs illustrative of spiri-
tual truths. The message of the
covenant was an assurance of
God's faithfulness. He was pre-
pared to carry out all his prom-
ises, notwithstanding all the pre-
vious failures of mankind„
Record Service
Here is what probably consti-
tutes a speed record for delivery
of vital Navy equipment to the
other side of the world.
At 6 p.m. on a recent Thurs-
day an order was received at an
eastern General Electric factory
for equipment by a U.S. warship
near Australia.
As many workers as could be
employed efficiently worked that
night and all the next day and
night to assemble the equipment.
Escorted by police, it was then
rushed to a nearby airport and
flown westward, arriving in San
Francisco Sunday.
On Wednesday, six days after
the order had been received, a
bombing plane landed the equip-
ment at its Pacific destination,
more than 10,000 miles from the
factory where it originated.

Guerillas. Fighting
On Dozen Fronts
Patriots. Fighting; Axis: PoW-
ers Number About 1.,800,000:
Ct.errilla armies are battling the
,Axis on a dozen fronts around
the world. In Spanish "guerrilla"
originally meant "little war" but
there is nothing small about the
war that today's guerrillas are
fighting. The lowest possible es-
timate of the world's guerrilla
strength is well over a million,
and if the divisions. of the Chin-
ese regulars fighting behind Jap-
anese lines are included, the fig-
ure is something closer to 1,500,-
000, The Kansas City Star con-
cludes.
* *
The Chinese guerrillas, of w11om
there are at least 800,000, operate
in every area where there are
Japanese troops. They have their
own special training school in
Southern Hunan Province, where
Picked leaders can learn the tech-
niques of swift surprise attack
which are the stock -in -trade o -t
guerrillas everywhere.
Much in the news recently have
been the exploits of another guer-
rilla army, half=way around the
world from China, This is the
patriot army of Yugoslavia, led by
General Mihailovitch. Mihailo-
vitch's men, who 'dominate a great
triangle of the supposedly -conquer-
ed mountains of Serbia, number
about 200,000. in spite of a num-
ber of German and Italian forays
against them, these successors to
the Serbian "Chetniks" of anoth-
er day are constantly increasing
in numbers and getting additional
equipment at the expense of their
Axis foes. Currently twenty-four
Axis divisions — nearly 400,000
men—have been diverted from
the Russian front by 11lillailo-
vitch's activities.
The main Yugoslav guerrilla
army* is in touch with allies in the
occupied territory on both of its
flanks. To the north in the puppet
state of Croatia is the "Green
Army," a loosely -knit group of
bands who take their name from
the green Croatian forests in
which they dive. Southward on
the Greek border it is in active
contact with the long chain of
Greek guerrilla forces that ex-
tends throughout the mountain-
ous peninsula.
The Greek guerrillas have a
notable record in the wrecking of
troop trains and the cutting off
of small Axis detachments. Their
favorite method of attack is to
make a swift attack on a town
and then withdraw into the hills
to lie in wait for their pursuers.
This spring one hand in the west-
ern Peloponnesus, led by a Greek
Orthodox priest, Father Nicolas,
wiped out the last of several puni-
tive expeditions sent against them
by rolling large boulders down a
ravine on the heads of the on-
coming Italians.
* * *
Fighting with the Greek guer-
rillas, both on the mainland and
in Crete, are a number of British
and Anzac troops who were left
behind after the evacuation.
The third great guerrilla front
is in Russia. There the organiza-
tion of units for fighting behind
the lines began long before the
war. In every village men and
women were trained In markman-
ship and the tactics of irregular
warfare. When, Iast year, the Nazi
army drove into the Soviet Union,
the people were ready.
The Nazis Can't
Beat The Dutch
Here is one of the stories going
around in Europe:
At Schiedam, near Rotterdam,
where the Germans have taken
over shipyards for their own pur-
poses, a new submarine slid into
the water. But Nazi cheers were
suddenly hushed, for the U-boat
went to the bottom with its Ger-
man crew.
When a second submarine built
to the sane specifications was
ready for launching, the Nazis,
deciding to profit by past experi-
ences, manned it with an ail -
Dutch crew.
It, too, promptly sank below
the surface.
But twelve hours later it came
up—at an English port.
