Just another cool Bible Story, or is there more?
This is an account of one righteous man (Tzadik) in an evil generation. This nation is just like ours. Notice Noah was obedient to what he was told, but He was so very different. “Noah, build a huge boat, ark, one and half times bigger than a football field.” Do you think people saw him as different?
Are we a ‘special or peculiar people’? (You are Segullah, Yahweh’s hidden treasure.) The generation does not do Teshuva (repent, turn from their ways unto Yahweh’s ways.), He gives them 120 years to notice and repent from their evil ways, and God brings a flood for 40 days. (Forty days of Elul, to Yom Kippur, Yeshua in the wilderness, Moses in the desert).
The water covers the earth for 150 days. The Almighty makes a covenant and makes the rainbow the sign/mark of the covenant that He will never destroy all of life again by water. When one sees a rainbow it is a mark (oth in Hebrew) to do Teshuva - to recognize the mistakes you are making in life, regret them, correct them/make restitution, and ask for forgiveness from anyone you have wronged as well as from the Almighty.
