Dispensations (Part 4)

Following the Great Flood, God implemented the dispensation of human government, reestablishing man’s dominion over animals and granting them authority to consume meat with certain limitations. God established a covenant with Noah, symbolized by the rainbow, promising never to destroy the Earth with a flood again. However, a blessing and a curse were pronounced on Noah’s sons: Shem and Japheth received blessings, while Canaan was cursed due to his father Ham’s actions. The prophecy of Noah’s descendants outlined the dispersal of humanity into different regions. The corruption of man manifested in the Tower of Babel, where humans sought to defy God by building a structure to reach heaven, leading to the confounding of languages and the scattering of people. Our study begins in Genesis 7.
