GENESIS CHAPTER 9:1

GENESIS  CHAPTER  9

9:1 > The Noahic Covenant. The elements are:
( 1 ) The relation of man to the earth under the Adamic Covenant is confirmed ( GENESIS  8:21 )
( 2 ) The order of nature is confirmed ( GENESIS  8:22 ).
( 3 ) Human government is established ( GENESIS 9:1__6)  ( 4 ) Earth is secured against another universal judgment by water ( GENESIS  8:21;  9:11 ).
( 5 ) A prophetic declaration is made that from Ham will descend an inferior and servile posterity ( GENESIS  9:24__25 ). 

( 6 ) A prophetic declaration is made that Shem will have a peculiar relation to Jehovah ( GENESIS  9:26__27 ). Government, science, and art, speaking broadly, are and have been Japhetic, so that history is the indisputable record of the exact fulfillment of these declarations. See, for the other seven covenants:
Edenic  ( GENESIS  1:28 );  Adamic  ( GENESIS  3:15 );  Abrahamic  ( GENESIS  15:18 );  Mosaic  ( EXODUS  19:25 );  Palestinian  ( DEUTERONOMY  30:3 );  Davidic  ( 2  SAMUEL  7:16 );  New  ( HEBREWS  8:8 ).

EXODUS CHAPTER 12 - 12:11

EXODUS  CHAPTER  12 12:11 - The Passover, type of Christ our Redeemer ( EXODUS  12:1__28;  JOHN  1:29;  1  CORINTHIANS  5:6__7 ). ( 1 ). - The lamb must be without blemish, and to test this it was kept up four days ( EXODUS  12:5__6 ). So our Lord's public life, under hostile scrutiny, was the testing which proved His holiness ( LUKE  11:53__54;  JOHN  8:46 ). ( 2 ). - The Lamb thus tested must be slain ( EXODUS  12:6;  JOHN  12:24 ).   ( 3 ). - The blood must be applied ( EXODUS  12:7 ). This answers to appropriation by personal faith, and refutes universalism ( JOHN  3:36 ). ( 4 ). - The blood applied of itself, without anything in addition, constituted a perfect protection from judgment ( EXODUS  12:13;  1  JOHN  1:7 ). ( 5 ). - The feast typified Christ the bread of life, answering to the memorial supper ( MATTHEW  26:26__28;  1  CORINTHIANS  11:23__26 ). To observe the feast was a duty and privilege, but not a condition of safety. As a matter of fact, the bread was n

EXODUS CHAPTER 30 - 30:34 AND 30:38

EXODUS  CHAPTER  30 30:34  Frankincense is not to be confounded with incense ( to which it was to be added ), as it is often used apart from incense, We are told what composed the incense__never in Scripture what the frankincense was. All speaks of Christ__the sweet spices of those perfections which we may apprehend, the frankincense of that which God saw in Jesus ineffable. 30:38  What is condemned here is making worship a mere pleasure to the natural man, whether sensuous, as in beautiful music to please the ear, or eloquence, merely to give delight to the natural mind.  JOHN  4:23__24.  30:18  Laver, type of Christ cleansing us from defilement, and from "every spot or wrinkle or any such thing" ( JOHN  13:2__10;  EPHESIANS  5:25__27 ). It is significant that the priests could not enter the holy place after serving at the brazen altar till hands and feet were cleansed. 30:31  Anointing oil, type of the Holy Spirit are service

GENESIS CHAPTER 37 - 37:2

GENESIS  CHAPTER  35 35:7 the God of Bethel. Genesis  28:19.  There it was the place as scene of the ladder-vision which impressed Jacob. He called the place "Bethel," the house of God. Now it is the God of the place, rather than the place, and he calls it El-Bethel, "the God of the house of God." Genesis  33:20. 35:14 The first mention of the drink-offering. It is not mentioned among the Levitical offering of  Leviticus  1__7,  though include in the instructions for sacrifice in the land ( NUMBERS  15:5__7 ). It was always "poured out," never drunk, and may be considered a type of Christ in the sense of Psalm  22:14;  Isaiah  53:12. 35:18 son of my right hand. Benjamin, "son of sorrow" to his mother, but "son of my right hand" to his father, becomes thus a double type of Christ. As Ben-oni He was the suffering One because of whom a sword pierced His mother's heart ( LUKE  2:35 ); as Benjamin, head to the warrior tribe ( G
