Genesis 8:21-22 (King James Version)
21And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.
22While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
21And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again
curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from
his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.
What does "I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake" mean?
Does it mean that previous curses are sufficient or that previous curses are withdrawn?
What does "neither will I again smite any more EVERY thing living, as I have
done" mean? Did God smite EVERY living thing? If it means that next time God will only smite 99.9% of all living things then . . . all bets are off?
22While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and
winter, and day and night shall not cease.
What does this mean? Does it mean that the climate that was familiar to Noah was
guaranteed until Jesus returns or does is only mean that there will be a hot months,
cold months, and something in between?
