I am somewhat perplexed by God's words in 8:21-22. It sounds like his curse of the ground because of Adam's sin is being repealed. But it is still intact today. Possibly God meant that he would add no other curse as he did with the flood. While I ponder that question God does reveal how he will respond to the righteous obedience of one man. By the faithful obedience of the one man, Noah, all life on earth was spared. Noah is one of the first men of faith who foreshadowed the universal impact of the one man Jesus. The one man whom God has used to completely remove the effects of the curse for the people of faith.
It took me about 15 minutes to read this passage.
