8 And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
9 And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
10 And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.
11 And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
12 And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
15 And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.
17 And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth. |

And I will establish my covenant with you, which I made unto Enoch, concerning the remnants of your posterity.
18 And God made a covenant with Noah, and said, This shall be the token of the covenant I make between me and you, and for every living creature with you, for perpetual generations;
19 I will set my bow in the cloud; and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
20 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud; and I will remember my covenant, which I have made between me and you, for every living creature of all flesh. And the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
21 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant, which I made unto thy father Enoch; that, when men should keep all my commandments, Zion should again come on the earth, the city of Enoch which I have caught up unto myself.
22 And this is mine everlasting covenant, that when thy posterity shall embrace the truth, and look upward, then shall Zion look downward, and all the heavens shall shake with gladness, and the earth shall tremble with joy;
23 And the general assembly of the church of the firstborn shall come down out of heaven, and possess the earth, and shall have place until the end come.
23 And the general assembly of the church of the firstborn shall come down out of heaven, and possess the earth, and shall have place until the end come.
And this is mine everlasting covenant, which I made with thy father Enoch.

And I swear by Myself and by ZION, the Tabernacle of My covenant , which I have created for a mercy seat and for the salvation of men, and in the latter days I will make it to come down to thy seed, that I will have pleasure in the offerings of thy children upon earth, and the Tabernacle of My covenant shall be with them for ever.
And when a cloud hath appeared (in the sky), so that they may not fear and may not imagine that a Flood (is coming) I will make to come down from My habitation of ZION the Bow of My Covenant, that is to say, the rainbow, which shall the Tabernacle of My Law.
And it shall come to pass that, when their sins multiply, and I am wishful to be wroth with them, I will remember the Tabernacle of My Covenant, and I will set the rainbow (in the sky), and I will put away Mine anger and will send My compassion. And I will not forget My word, and that which hath gone forth from My mouth I will not overlook. Though heaven and earth pass away My word shall not pass away."
114. Concerning the return of ZION
And the Tabernacle of the Law of God, the Holy ZION, shall remain here until that day when our
Lord shall dwell on Mount ZION; and ZION shall come and shall appear unto all prepared, with
three seals even as MOSES gave her as it saith in the Old Law and in the New, "At the testimony
of two or three (witnesses) everything shall stand." And then, saith ISAIAH the Prophet, "The
dead shall be raised up, and those who are in the graves shall live, for the dew which (cometh)
from Thee is their life." And when the dead are raised up, His mercy whereby He watereth the
earth shall cease; they shall stand up before Him with the works which they have done.
And
ENOCH and ELIAS shall come, being alive, so that they may testify, and MOSES and AARON
from the dead shall live with everyone. |
