THE COVENANT WITH NOAH
The covenants of God begin with the covenant made with Noah. According to II Peter 3:3-7, there is a distinction between the “former heavens and earth” and the present heavens and earth. The ones from long ago were created in the beginning and was destroyed, being flooded with water. The “present heavens and earth are reserved for fire and kept for judgment and destruction of ungodly men”. In vs 13 we are told to anticipate new heavens and a new earth in the future. This understanding is foundational to the covenant with Noah.
