Interestingly, the first time the word “covenant” is found in the Bible is with Noah, but as detailed in post 32, this does not deny the existence of this covenant made by God when he said

“Let us make man[kind] in our [androgynous] image and let them have dominion.” (Genesis 1:26-27)

“For when God made promise to ______ [everyone he ever made a promise to], because he could swear by no greater,

1. he sware by himself, Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee…For men verily swear by the greater:
2. and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.

Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:

That by two immutable things [swearing and an oath], in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation,

• who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us of the soul, both sure and stedfast.
• Which hope we have as an anchor.” (Hebrews 6:13-19)

Sure sounds like the author of this statement is thinking about Noah’s ark.

The LORD is not making but establishing / making to stand firm / confirming / deeding over the existing covenant of dominion made

1. first with Adam after the serpent tried to end it with the only two humans alive at that time,
2. then with the lineage of the Seed of the Woman after Cain tried to end it by killing the first Seed of the Woman.

“The earth is the LORD‘s, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. For he hath

1. founded it upon the seas [chaos above and below the firmament],
2. and established it upon the floods / forces of destruction
   1. during the nights of creation
   2. the era of giant demigods,
   3. and now the deluge.” (Psalm 24:1-2)

We really need to clarify our understanding of covenants beyond suburban tract housing.

The invention of the internet transmitting knowledge instantly pales in comparison to the impact the invention of writing itself had by transmitting knowledge in a medium that did not require personal contact across space and time, expanding government control, research and development in every field of civil engineering, architecture, military, medical and all the sciences, and maintaining – or changing – entire cultures’ community and spiritual beliefs and identities over generations.

Dating back to at least 2900 BC, Sumerian is a language isolate, meaning it has no demonstrable relationship with any other languages. Because Sumerian is already so complex at this stage of “human evolution”, Assyriologists such as Samuel Noah Kramer, famous for his life’s work of deciphering cuneiform tablets, believe that the earliest language of civilization during the Ubaid period, biblically during Adam’s lifetime, has never been uncovered. 

The obvious explanation is that the humanists refuse to accept the ancient origin of the Torah because of its focus on YHVH.

“Now, my son Mathusala, all these things I speak unto thee, and write for thee. To thee I have revealed all, and have given thee books of everything. Preserve, my son Mathusala, the books written by thy father; that thou mayest transmit them to future generations.” (Enoch 81)

“Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints…

Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied…Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.” (Jude 1)

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead…

Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times…for you who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God…

Being born again…by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you. (I Peter 1)

Get it? Christianity is NOT a “new” religion separate from Judaism or Abraham’s monotheistic “many nations.” It is exactly the same faith in God’s word when he told the Adams that the Seed of the Woman would, at some point in the future, destroy the power of sin and death.

After the flood, paganism adapted to the absence of the gods’ material presence through evil-spirit empowered mediums / priests.

In both pre- and post-flood paganism, the god is lord (belu) and man is servant or slave (ardu). In order to access the power promised by the spirits, humans must serve the gods. Pagan morality is not a concept of absolute right and wrong or how to treat other humans. It is simply staying on good terms with the god, who is more often than not capricious, just like any human tyrant ruler.

Sin is rebellion against the gods’ will, sometimes with the idea that sin is man’s wishing to “live on his own terms“.

Egyptian Book of the Dead or The Egyptian Book of Living & Dying was a guidebook to assist the deceased in the afterlife and comprised a collection of hymns, spells and instructions to allow the deceased to pass through obstacles in the afterlife. The work has similarities with ‘The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying’ and the Mesoamerican Popol Vuh.

These mimic the books by which the dead are judged by the Hebrew God.

“And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it,..

• and the books were opened…and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works, and they were judged every man according to their works. –
  • “Every man’s work shall be made manifest…fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.” (I Corinthians 3:12-14)
• and another book was opened, which is the book of life
  • And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. (Revelation 20:11-15)

In order to make sense of this book of life, we need to stay on track with the standard literary format of any book – reference back to the beginning of the story to understand the ending.

The first mention of a book recording life is found at the beginning of the history of human life, where it is stated to be a book listing the names of some of Adam’s offspring.

“This is the book of the generations of Adam.” (Genesis 5)

Adam, whose life was breathed into him by God, then passed to Eve through a cloned stem cell from Adam’s bone, was then passed through the Women’s mitochondria in her ova.

“And Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.” (Genesis 3:20)

A straightforward interpretation of this passage is that all human beings start out written in the book of life.

“While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept: for I said, Who can tell whether God will be gracious to me, that the child may live? But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall [only] go to him.” (II Samuel 12:22-2)

We can conclude from this that all children younger than the age of accountability, regardless of infant baptism into a faith or belonging to a faith-less family, are found written in the book of life and enjoy eternal life.

But the Bible states flat-out that it is possible for adults to be blotted out of this book.
