Genesis 10:32 These are the clans of the sons of Noah, according
to their genealogies, in their nations, and from these the nations spread abroad
on the earth after the flood.
In Genesis 9:7, the command first issued to Adam and Eve in Genesis 1:28 is
restated, “...be fruitful and multiply, increase greatly on the earth
and multiply in it.” In Genesis 10 we read of how Noah and his sons
obeyed this command, we also see how God blessed and prospered them. Although
the earth had been devastated in the flood, God began a restoring working and
soon the earth was teeming with life again, both human and animal. As Christians
we look forward to the restoring work that God will do in the new heavens and
the new earth. Sin will be dealt with once and for all on that final judgement
day, when this earth will pass away. God will then establish a new heavens and
a new earth, one which is sinless, in a state of absolute perfection and we
shall have the joy of dwelling there with God. What a great and wonderful day
that shall be, what glorious eternity we have awaiting us. Who else has such a
hope?
Lord God Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, the One who is most
holy and just, the One who holds time and all things in His hand, we bow before
Your throne in humble adoration. We rejoice that You have counted us worthy in
Christ to be spared from Your wrath and have made us new creations. How we long
and look forward to that day when that new creation shall come to its full and
final completion, to that time when we shall dwell with You in sinless
perfection. May we be faithful to You until that day comes to pass.
Amen
