What does Genesis 9:15 mean?
John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
Genesis 9:15
And I will remember my covenant which is between me
and
you, and every living creature of all flesh
See ( Genesis
9:11 Genesis 9:12
) and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy
all flesh;
this is repeated to remove those fears which would naturally
arise, upon the gathering of the clouds in the heavens; but as
God would remember his covenant, which he can never forget; and
is always mindful of, so men, when they see the bow in the cloud,
may be assured, that whatever waters are in the heavens, they
shall never be suffered to fall in such quantity as to destroy
all creatures as they have done.
