    Ge.8:18-22 "The earth" (1 of 2)

    "And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him:"

    The earth foreshadows the ground from which man was taken and to which he shall return. It encapsulates the world of the flesh and blood. It is diametrically opposite to the world of the Spirit from which the law of sin has been excised, surgically as it were. So it meant those who made a covenant with God. In short the Spirit explains the significance of Noah's sacrifice

    "Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice./And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge himself."(Ps.50:5-6)"

    Sacrifice basically involving animals refer to the world where the law of sin rules. It is for those who also ran. The slain Lamb before the foundation is already set in the divine Will. The world of the Lamb of God is made to appear in the fulness of time so whatever sacrifice is to be set in direct frame of his Advent. "Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required." (Ps.40:8) Doing the perfect will of God is what the everlasting covenant enjoins whosoever want to be part of the Fellowship of God with Man. So he as a living service has died to world of sin. Noah as the double for Jesus Christ connects the holy family to the heavenly places. "And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat."(8:4) After his likeness Noah is already in the company of saints, foreknown and blessed in his Son.

    The Spirit gives us the life of Noah according to the flesh. So he would be a husbandman and get drunk and when he comes out of his drunken sleep he shall curse, "And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren."(9:25). Blessings as well as curse shall continue in the earth. This indicates law of the sin is among the nations.
