pointed forward to the Lamb of God who taketh away the sin of the world. Third, the altar of Noah was a testimony to his gratitude for God’s mercy. In the light of these meanings, it becomes certain that the building of an altar must mean more than a mere emphasis upon what men are pleased to call “ religion.” Unless we build our altars at the foot of Calvary, they are built in vain. There must be blood upon the altar. 3. It is not necessary to believe that there was no rainbow before the flood, as some suggest. Genesis 9:13 may be trans lated: “ I have set my bow in the cloud, and it shall he for a token of a covenant.” According to this view, God simply takes something already existing and gives it a new meaning. Thus our Lord took bread (the most common thing in the world) and gave to it a new meaning. The bow in the cloud reminds us that never again will a judgment of God destroy all flesh. It is interesting to note that when the throne of judgment is set in Revelation 4, it is encircled by a rainbow, a reminder of the Noahic covenant. And God keeps it. See the great host saved out of the tribula tion judgments in Revelation 7. An engineer lay in a Philadelphia hos pital very ill. This man had lived wicked ly, but he had a Christian wife. Finally the doctor told the wife that her husband was dead. But she said, “No, he is not dead. He cannot be dead. I have prayed for him for twenty-seven years, and God has promised me that he should be saved.” The doctor brought six other physicians and each one made an examination and con firmed the decision. Meanwhile the woman knelt by the cot, insisting that he was not dead, and that even if he were God would bring him back to life. “He cannot die,” she said, “ until he is saved.” Hour after hour passed, and still the wife knelt by the cot. At length at the end of thirteen hours the man opened his eyes, and asked to go home. He recovered and was saved, and now as an engineer he tells men; every where what Christ can do.— Getting Things from God, by C. A. Blanchard. Golden Text Illustration H ebrews 11:7
