And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. (9:1)
Noah is my father. Noah is your father. In fact, Noah is everyone’s father. The story of Noah’s Ark, or Noah and the Flood, is one of the most moving and exciting moments in history, and has been the subject of many classic works of literature and film including a major motion picture due to be released in 2007.
Because of the great evil he sees on the earth, God decides to destroy all of his creations. However, the grace of one man, Noah, causes God to change his mind and spare Noah along with the rest of his creations. By saving a pair of each animal from the great flood, Noah saves all life on earth. What more can we ask for in a hero? Not only does Noah save the world, but through his goodness, he persuades God to promise to never again wreak such havoc upon the world! Noah was the Bruce Willis of the Bible.
Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God. (6:9)
However, when most Christians and Jews read the Bible, they fail to recognize these extraordinary efforts of Noah. To many, Noah is simply an interesting character in an age old story. Noah was far more than that; on top of being our Savior (literally!) Noah walked with God! Moses rescued the Israelites from slavery, and Jesus died for our sins. However, without Noah we would have no Israelites to liberate or souls to save; God may be the creator, but Noah is the Father, the “big daddy” you might say.
And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying, And I, behold, I establish my Covenant with you, and with your seed after you; (9:8-9:9)
The Deluvian Church serves primarily to recognize this Covenant between Noah and the Lord, as well as to recognize the incredible Biblical importance of our True Savior: Noah. God’s Covenant with Noah was a promise that God would never again destroy life on Earth, as well as God’s only True Covenant with Mankind. All others who claim to have entered into “covenants” with the Lord are misled clerics: well-intentioned but false.
