We all know the traditional bible story of the rainbow; that
it’s a symbol that the flood is over and the evil has been washed away, and
that it’s God’s promise that it’ll never happen again. But how many rainbows
have you seen in your lifetime? Perhaps Christians argue that today’s modern
rainbows act as a reminder that although this flood was heavy, it wasn’t as big
as the one as Noah faced in Genesis.
But if you actually read Genesis, you’ll also learn that Noah had three sons at
the grand old age of 500, and died at the ripe old age of 950. Quite amazing
for today’s standards, especially as we now have better infrastructure to cope
with today’s modern flooding. As sons of Noah, we certainly have filled the
earth as God commanded; but it’s a strong test of faith if we are really to
believe Noah’s story.
