How reassuring is the covenant of God expressed in the rainbow! A rainbow is one of the marvels of all creation. I saw an awesome one the other day. How can you not think about God when a rainbow appears?
After the awesome rainbow, a curse emerges. I do not know what to make of the family issues following the flood. We do not know exactly why his son was cursed. As with Cain, another theme of "blessing" and "curse" emerges and this will be common throughout the Bible. Also, every creation story has promise and loss of promise. Is this not also a prevalent theme throughout the Bible?
Let's look for the many occasions of blessing and curse and promise and loss of promise in future reading.
