“But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.”
Here the Spirit refers to the word with the Man component. Jesus defined what the word signified for the earth. “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”(John 5:63). God’s commandment to Noah hinged on his Son and his Atonement. The body that God had prepared for the Son had a single purpose. As the Lamb of God he would take away the sin of the world. As the Word become flesh it was determined in the will of God that the world made to appear precisely mirrored the world unseen. Faith of God between Father and Son totally agreed. Atonement held no other mystery than the blood of Jesus is shed once for all. “And the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.”(1 John 1:7) In the ‘Now’ of eternal Will there is no correction or modification required. When Jesus gives up his ghost it is tohis Father he addresses and he says,”It is finished.” In eternity or in heaven there is no blood spilt.
Jesus speaks of flesh gains nothing without this element of life. For this reason when Jesus refers to outer darkness he referred the spreading of nations from the three sons of Noah.
Noah is now set down as a husbandman even as Adam was. Before the flood he was the double for Jesus Christ leading many sons to glory. Noah walked with God as Enoch did before him and he was not. Similarly Noah walked with God and he was not. Similar to Elijah. Where the Spirit has drawn a veil do we ask if he died or not? TThey are set down in the Bible for our spiritual instruction. Burden of sin allowed man meat as with herbs.(9:3).
5 And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man’s brother will I require the life of man.
Adam was the steward for His creation. Injunction of blood is applied to man and his creation alike.
Nakedness becomes an issue indicative of the flesh and blood. Flesh and blood shall not inherit eternal life. “Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.”(1 Co.15:50).
In the life of Noah we can see the same inversion principle working as in case of Jesus. He is the Lord of heaven who came down in his humanity in order to lead us to glory. Before the great flood he is set as the double for the Son and after, he is set after the likeness of Adam. He became a husbandman. Where Adam felt no shame before his fall we find Noah cursing Canaan over it.. The sinful earth required the Advent of Jesus Christ, to redeem the earth from the works of the devil. (1 John 3:8)
