These parallels with Adam's original blessing and position indicate that Noah was in

type a second Adam, and foreshadowed the Lord Himself. The bow in the cloud, given

as the token of the covenant made between God and all flesh, is seen together with the

Cherubim in Ezek. 1: 28, and in Rev. 4: 3, and it shines around the head of the mighty

angel who sware by Him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven and the things

that therein are, and the earth and the things that therein are, and the sea and the things

which are therein, that there should be a time no longer, but that the mystery of God

should be finished (Rev. 10: 1-7).

There are mysteries deep and wide that surround the record of the flood and the Ark;

into these we cannot here attempt to penetrate; we rejoice, however, to trace the rainbow

of God's covenant through to the day when the mystery of God shall be finished, and a

real renewed earth shall be placed under the righteous way of a greater than Adam, and a

greater than Noah.
