Jesus - Our Messiah And Savior

Recently, For Zion's Sake Ministry changed the emphasis of its messages in order to show Jesus as the Jewish Messiah and the Gentile Savior throughout the entire Bible. To date, we have learned Jesus was present with Jehovah God even before Creation and was one of the Creators in the Creation Story. The last two messages have shown Jesus as a key figure in the Edenic and Adamic Covenants.

We are now ready to study The Noahic Covenant. Genesis 6:5-7 explains that man had become so wicked that God determined to destroy the human race. However, Jehovah God in this process would not allow His Redemption Plan to end. Noah was a righteous man and God decided to save Noah and his family in an Arc during the flood. Genesis 9:8-9 says, "Then God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him saying: 'And as for Me, behold, I establish My Covenant with you and with your descendants after you.'"

Why is The Noahic Covenant important? By saving Noah and his family, Jehovah God maintained the family lineage from which Jesus The Messiah would be born. When we study the family lineage of Jesus in Matthew 1, we learn that "Jesus is The Son of David, The Son of Abraham; Abraham begot Isaac, Isaac begot Jacob . . . and Jacob begot Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus who is called Christ."

Jehovah God saved His Plan Of Salvation for all people, Jew and Gentile, by saving Noah and his family from the flood. The Noahic Covenant is an outpouring of God's Grace. The Lord said in Genesis 9:11-13, "Thus I established My Covenant with you; never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood; never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth. And God said; 'This is the sign of The Covenant which I make between Me and you, and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations; I set My rainbow in the clouds and it shall be the sign of The Covenant between Me and the earth.'"

We believe this sign of God's Grace is similar to His sending His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to the cross to wipe away all our sins also granting us salvation and eternal life. Bless His Holy Name! We should thank our God everyday for the Noahic Covenant and the Grace of His Redemption Plan. Stay Tuned!

May The Lord Bless You And Keep You In His Care,
