the Noahide Laws.
Noah is remembered for
being the universal man who
was saved because he alone
was righteous in his genera-
tion. One wonders what Noah
would say if he were alive to-
day. If he could see this gen-
eration of violence and war,
of racism and unbrotherly ac-
tions, would he predict an-
other flood?
Noah was reassured that
God would never again try to
destroy every living being
(Genesis 8:21). There would
be a rule that God himself
would never try to break. The
sign? A rainbow. The rainbow
would be God's signature to
His promise. The rainbow
would be the symbol of hope
for a better day.
Noah could carry on after
the flood because he believed
in God's promise. He had
hope in the future because he
had lived through the past.
The rainbow described in the
Noah story is a symbol for our
age. Whenever you pass
through a storm and see a
beautiful rainbow, think of
the Noah story and how
many colors of the rainbow
exist in God's eternal seal, the
symbol of hope for a better
day and a better world. ❑
