Genesis 9 and a new camera October 18, 2007
Posted by Zack in Missouri , trackbackAfter posting all those blurry and dim photos from Catalyst we finally sprung for a new camera. It came today and we wandered around the endless strip mall cluster of Festus, Missouri, where we’re staying, snapping pictures of the incredible clouds.
The rainbow reminded me of listening to Tri Robinson at Catalyst talk about the biblical basis for environmentalism. He explained that in Genesis 9, where God lays out the Noahic Covenant, God repeats over and over that his covenant is with humanity and ALL of the animals, EVERYTHING living and the WHOLE Earth.
I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. …This is the sign of the covenant I have established between me and all life on the earth.
(Genesis 9)
