Speaker 1 (00:00):
Let us pray. I set my rainbow in the cloud,
and it will be a sign of a covenant between
me and the earth. Genesis nine thirteen. Heavenly Father, your
promises are trustworthy and never fail. We can rest assured
that you keep your word and remain faithful to your
(00:21):
people even when things seem dark. Help us to rest
in your promises. Lord, Help us to remain still and
trust that your word will prevail when we feel uneasy
or frightened. May your word make us steady, unwavering, and
strong in the face of evil. Remind us that those
in a covenant relationship with you have access to your
(00:44):
peace and strength at all times when the chaos of
culture presses against us. May these truths keep us strong
in Jesus's name. Amen, thank you for praying with me today.
Stay tuned now for another episode of Stories of the
(01:04):
Messiah with Rabbi Schneider.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Humanity was still young, but sin had matured within the
hearts of God's image bearers. The earth became riddled with
cancerous corruption. Sin settled deep roots, choking out their convictions.
Heavenly beings fallen from heaven into wove themselves into the
fabric of humanity, pulling them even further from their creator.
(01:40):
Kings and warlords arose with the heart of cave and
spited God by thrashing against his children. Violence had spread
throughout the land like a plague. Humanity was bent on
eating itself alive. With every passing generation, the likelihood of
humans destroying themselves in priest.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
So with the heart of justice.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
God chose to cleanse the earth of their corruption. He
scoured the land for one that still loved him, one
to preserve and protect from the wrath. To come, one
who had not yet been perverted and twisted by sin.
There was such a man, from the line of Seth.
His name was Noah.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Welcome to another episode of Stories of the Messiah podcast.
I'm Rabbi Schneider with discovering that you wish Jesus. I
am passionate about how the all the New Testaments tie together,
ultimately pointing toward the glory of Christ. If this podcast
has blessed you thus far, please take a moment to
leave a comment and review. Doing so will make sure
(02:49):
that others will discover these life changing stories. This season
of Stories of the Messiahs called Jesus the Greater We
are going through the Bible and visiting glories of terror, judgment, hope,
and redemption. It is my hope that as we verse
these ups and downs of these famous characters, we could
(03:09):
catch a glimpse of an even greater, overreaching story happening.
Each hero in the Bible is an image of someone
even more significant, someone greater. Today we visit the story
of Noah. The earth has been blighted with corruption and sin,
and God is determined to wipe it all out. He
chooses one man to be preserved through judgment. This man's
(03:32):
story of salvation will ultimately point toward Christ and has
powerful work on the Cross. So let's dive in and
be immersed in the cinematic retelling of Genesis chapter six
through nine to see that Jesus is the greater Noah.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
The chill of the evening breeze bitted Noah's cheeks. He
gazed up at the unhindered night sky and prayed. The
firmament was out of the covered in stars, the galaxy
stretched over the horizon before him. Noah was in awe
of God's glory. He often met God on that hill,
tucked away from the madness of the world. There cutting
(04:14):
through the silence, God spoke to Noah in the breeze.
He gave Noah a warning, a vision, and a calling.
God's voice reverberated through Noah's entire being, violence, corruption, all
flesh on the earth as de sent into cravat. Noah
listened intently, feeling the heat of God. He felt anger, disappointment,
(04:38):
and sorrow. I have determined to destroy it, honor, God said,
and I have called you to be preserved from it.
Noah's eyes started to fog and his hands begun to quiver.
He saw visions of a tempest consuming the land. He
heard screams coming from flooded cities and animals running in fear.
All was going to be destroyed. He looked up with
(05:01):
his hands outstretched. What must I do, he whispered with
a quivering voice. You will make a vessel for your
family and the peace of the land. It shall keep
you safe from the coming star. For behold, I will
bring forth a flood of waters upon the earth to
destroy all in its wake. The breath of life I
(05:23):
gave in the beginning will be taken from them.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
All will die.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Noah fell to his knees and began to pant He
gripped his chest and looked up at God. It was
almost too much. If God's will was clear and unwavering,
he spoke again to Noah, saying, I will establish my.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Covenant with you.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Noah, you will come into the Ark with your wife,
your sons, and their wives. The animals will join you,
each in a pair. You will be a steward over them,
care for them, and see them through to the end.
Noah rose looked at his hands. Could he create a
vessel of salvation for the world? Was he able? He
(06:07):
looked at the horizon and clouds were amassing in the distance.
A storm was coming, whether Noah felt prepared for it
or not. Wood and nails. Noah and his sons labored
for weeks, scarring their hands with woods and nails. The
Ark was a wooden vessel designed to keep them safe
(06:27):
from the impending judgment of God. So they built it
exactly as God commanded, without delay or groaning. With the
joy of salvation before them, they endured the ridicule of
onlookers and the pain of labor. More dark clouds hovered
over the land each day like vultures with wings outstretched
and prepared to descend. Finally, the time had come. God's
(06:51):
judgment on the world was impending. A pair of each
animal emerged from the forest and mountains. God's guiding hand
and helped them in. And then his voice returned to
the heart of Noah, in tandem with the thundering clouds above.
The voice of God boomed.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
And said, into the ark, for I have seen your
righteousness before me.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Noah and his family ran into the Ark, and God
shut the door. They would be protected from the damnation
about to descend on the earth. Judgment would pass over them.
As the cleansing power of God swept over the land,
water fell from the skies, and the springs of the
earth burst open violently. The water rose over the mountains,
(07:38):
and all the corruption of evil kingdoms was swept away.
God's light giving breath was taken from them. All was destroyed,
all but the ark and those within it. Forty days passed,
and the rain relented, its continuous onslaught. The world was
still ominous, quiet and sad for a while. Yet underneath
(08:02):
the silence there were echoes of hope, an inkling of
new beginnings ready to emerge from the water. After many months,
the water had receded enough for the ark to rest
on the side of a mountain. Once the land was
safe enough to traverse, Noah opened the door. Rays of
sunlight cascaded down the trickling streams, bringing vibrant life to
(08:25):
the earth below. From the dark and cold ark, Noah emerged.
The land was pure, once again, teeming with new possibilities.
As Abel had done many generations before, Noah sacrificed to
the Lord. On that hill. He offered thanksgiving to God
for his salvation. God's favored was upon Noah and his sons.
(08:48):
He promised never to flood the earth again. As a
symbol of his promise, he painted a vibrant bow of
light across the sky. The rainbow memorialized God's faithfulness, a
beacon of light, light and hope for every generation. It
was for them to remember that there is salvation from judgment.
The rainbow carries that promise of salvation to day, a
(09:12):
beacon of hope and light to those caught in darkness,
a promise of redemption. The evil of humanity would not
end with the flood. Sin would return, but God's passionate
plan to reserve and protect those who call upon him
would endure. Evil abounds, but the promises of God never waver.
(09:33):
The rainbow was an emblem of light, transporting us to
another time when the ultimate salvation would come. Wood and
nails would scar another's hands, and a greater hero would
come to bring about salvation.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Did you notice that Noah's story isn't really about no
at all. We don't hear much about him except that
he did as God asked. Why do you think that is?
I believe this story is masterfully crafted to remind us
that God is both the bringer of judgment and the
author of salvation. Noah is not the hero and the story.
God is Noah, his family and the animals are recipients
(10:15):
of God's grace. He allowed them to be kept safe
in the boat. He couldn't allow sin to continue its
cancerous spread throughout the ancient world. Humanity would have been
lost before it ever began. So God planned to cleanse
the earth of sin's corruption. But he offered a way
out for one man who still listened to his voice, Noah.
(10:37):
Noah his family were given salvation from judgment in the
form of an arc shaped by wood and nails. After
the flood subsided and the wildflowers dried, Noah and his
family emerged with the animals. Like a warrior who puts
away his bow, God sits a rainbow in the sky
as a promise. This story is rich with symbolism, ultimately
(11:01):
pointing us toward a hopeful future. First, the flood symbolizes
the chaotic and dark life apart from God and his
eternal judgment of sin. The ark, made of trees and
filled with animals, symbolizes the garden of Eden. It's a
haven in place where the favor of God is preserved. Lastly,
(11:22):
we have the rainbow, a symbol of God's restorative promise
and salvation. The image of the rainbow has been taken
to mean other things in this day and age. The
world has taken an image of God's promise and skewed it.
If you visit discovering the Jewish Jesus dot Com, you'll
find that I'm passionate about reclaiming the true meaning of
(11:43):
the rainbow. The story of Noah, the salvation God offers
through the Ark ought to instill in all of us
a greater appreciation of what the rainbow really represents. It
represents deliverance, new beginnings, and salvation, and ultimately it points
us toward God's promise of salvation through Jesus wood.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Jesus gripped the splintered cross firmly in his hands and
thrust it onto his shoulders. Its jagged edges dug into
his wounded back. With shaking legs, he marched up the
hill called Calvary, ready to endure shame and agony for
the sake of salvation. He carried the cross to his execution,
(12:29):
where Roman centurions awaited.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Him with hammers and nails.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Nails the soldiers drove them into his hands and feet
and attached him to the cross. That rugged cross a
wooden tool for torment. The Persians designed crucifixion to torture
criminals who had committed crimes against the king. If crucifixion
was a tool for the Persians, it was an art
(12:54):
form for the Romans. They had become masters of torture
and perfected crucifixion as the worst of all fates. Jesus
was raised high on the cross. Markers stood below him,
spitting in his direction. Hey saved the others, Let him
save himself. They ridiculed utterly, unaware of the cosmic shift
(13:17):
happening around them. The reigns of judgment were brewing and
about to descend on God's chosen hero. Jesus looked at
the crowd and prayed to the.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Lord Father forgive them. They do not know what they're doing.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Jesus hung there, nailed to wood, unduring the judgment of God.
He did this so that the corruption prevailing in the
hearts of humanity would be cleansed, and anyone who believed
in him would be preserved from the judgment of God.
Jesus looked into the heavens and declared het his minest
(13:51):
roared the victor a.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Sin and death.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Three days passed, and the gardens surrounding Jesus's tomb teemed
with life. Rays of sunlight cascaded down like trickling streams,
bringing vibrant life to the earth below. From the dark
and cold tomb, Jesus emerged. The Holy Spirit had risen
him from the grave. The same spirit carries the promise
(14:18):
of salvation today, a beacon of hope and light to
those caught in darkness, a promise of redemption.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Wooden nails. Were you able to pick up the connection,
Noah crafted the ark from wooden nails as a vessel
of salvation. Noah and his family were preserved from God's
righteous judgement through the ark. Likewise, Jesus used wooden nails
to craft his own vessel of salvation. He hung on
(14:48):
the cross and endured the wrath of God all so
that you and I could experience redemption. Those who trust
in the saving work of Jesus are saved from the
eternal condemnation of sin. While Noah was a recipient of salvation,
Jesus was the author. Through Noah, even more evil in
corruption would continue throughout the world, but there was a
(15:12):
greater work accomplished through Jesus for those calling upon Jesus's name.
His work on the cross removes the sting of sin
and death for all eternity. Just as Noah emerged from
the dark and cold dark, Jesus arose from the tomb.
A rainbow acted as a promise to Noah and his
descendants that God's covenant could endure throughout the ages. The
(15:36):
rainbow was meant to be a reminder that God's covenant
was unending. We have a similar sign of our promise today.
The Holy Spirit. Ephesians IE says this in him, you Also,
when you heard of the Word of Truth, the Gospel
of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with
(15:56):
the promised Holy Spirit, who's the guarantee of our inherent
until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of
His glory. The rainbow of Genesis nine foreshadows God's Holy Spirit,
our seal and reminder of God's promised redemption. Every time
we see a rainbow, we should remember the faithfulness of
(16:17):
God and every one of his promises. The story of
Noah is an anthem singing about the promised salvation of Christ.
When we think of a story, gaze up at a rainbow,
or consider the gravity of sin, may we be reminded
of the greatness of Jesus. Jesus is the greater Noah.
(16:38):
Join us next time as we follow the path of
the Father of faith himself, Abraham. His story mirrors our
own in many ways. We stumble, obey, then stumble again.
But there is a new promise around every corner, the
promise of true greatness and purpose found in Jesus Christ.

(17:00):

Let us pray. I set my rainbow in the cloud,
and it will be a sign of a covenant between
me and the earth. Genesis nine thirteen. Heavenly Father, your
promises are trustworthy and never fail. We can rest assured
that you keep your word and remain faithful to your
(00:21):
people even when things seem dark. Help us to rest
in your promises. Lord, Help us to remain still and
trust that your word will prevail when we feel uneasy
or frightened. May your word make us steady, unwavering, and
strong in the face of evil. Remind us that those
in a covenant relationship with you have access to your

(06:07):

A storm was coming, whether Noah felt prepared for it
