Fr John and Danny explore how the covenant with Noah reaffirms God’s original promise from Eden, establishing new boundaries for humanity through symbols like the rainbow, ark, and dove (Gen. 6:18; 9:12–13). God commands Noah and his descendants to fill the earth, institutes restrictions on blood to preserve the imago Dei, and ordains capital punishment because murder strikes at God’s image (Gen. 9:1–6). This universal covenant anticipates later covenants with Israel and ultimately Christ, framing history as a temple narrative where divine mercy restrains judgment until its eschatological climax.
