"But with thee will I establish my covenant."(v.18) refers to the everlasting covenant and Noah serves as the double for the man in the Man component. The Spirit gives us two ages before and after the flood. One refers to him after the likeness of his Son and the other after the likeness of the last Adam. As the tabernacle of God shall descend from heaven to the mid-air Noah and 'every living thing of all flesh" representing the stewardship stipulated in Ge.1:28 shall brought into the earth purged of corruption. They have been kept alive in the world of the Spirit, that the volume of the Ark signifies. As with the daughters of Job they have been kept alive all along in presence of God. It is called the land of the living of which the ark of Noah is an emblem.
Of the second age of Noah "And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died." (9:29) he chooses his profession, "And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard./And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent." (9:20-21; 3:23). His life after his fall begins with his physical world and it is set forth in this line, "to till the ground from whence he was taken." His own shame is recalled in Noah who lay uncovered in his tent. In order to distinguish the life before and after, the Spirit sets the Ark as an emblem as there is a slain Lamb before the foundation of the world and the throne of God and of the Lamb.
All these life forms,- marine lives, fowls of the air and beasts of the field are as created of God do not suffer any diminution or loss in the kingdom of God. Hence this commandment of God, "Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee."
