In the beginning of the Bible God created wonderful things, he created many people and then a blessing came along, 29 He named him Noah[c] and said, “He will comfort us in the labor and painful toil of our hands caused by the ground the LORD has cursed.” This occurred In (Genesis 5:29) to me this is a foreshadow of what will happen in the near future.

All the things people are doing now are prime examples of what God was ashamed of creating. Then God made a promise to us that he would never flood the earth again and rainbows are our reminder of that
