Thanks for your response!
So, I'm going to try and kind of restate what you explained and see if I am understanding this correctly.
The Noahic covenant demonstrates the grace of God in that, though it would be just to wipe out men for their wickedness, His greater desire is to preserve and redeem mankind for His glory. Therefore, the Lord makes a covenant that He will not destroy mankind from off the earth, that in the fullness of time Immanuel will bear the wrath of God to make satisfaction for the sins of His people.
So, as Christ is the Seed who will crush the serpent, He is also the ark who bears the wrath of God that we may be saved.
Studying how our Lord has worked in His covenants throughout history is giving me a deeper reverence and awe for the greatness of our God!
