Bibliology: 14 THE COVENANTS OF SCRIPTURE
A DISPENSATIONAL THEOLOGY
By Charles F Baker
While
the covenant seems to be primarily a promise never to destroy the earth with a
flood, it also includes certain new conditions for man’s life on earth. The fear
of man is placed upon the animal world, man is permitted to eat animal flesh, but
is forbidden to eat blood; and man is given the authority to practice capital punishment.
Before this God had forbidden man to execute the death penalty upon the
murderer (Genesis 4:15).
The granting of the basic right of man to govern the earth for God is the basis
for calling this arrangement the dispensation of human government or authority.
