The Noahic (Rainbow) Covenant<\/p>\n

Whether this was the first appearance of a rainbow or not, the rainbow was now a sign of God’s covenant with Noah and “all the earth.” (Some speculate that it was the first rainbow because the post-flood atmosphere of the earth was changed from its pre-flood condition – This is called the “canopy theory.” ) This covenant had three important features:
\n1) It’s an unconditional covenant. This covenant is based on God’s faithfulness, not man’s (Gen. 9:9).
\n2) It’s a universal covenant. It’s for “all the earth.” No one is excluded.
\n3) It’s an everlasting covenant. God said, “Never again will a flood destroy the earth” (Gen. 9:11).<\/p>\n

The covenant God made with Noah and “all the earth” is still active today.
