After the Flood, God established the Covenant of the Rainbow with Noah and all of the world's creatures. This covenant is not dependent on mankind's observance of the Seven Laws of Noah. Rather, the Noahide Code established the context and the goal for a renewed world in which this covenant could be the open and enduring expression of God's love for His creation. It was God's promise to all creatures that He would never again obliterate all land-life from the world. The Covenant of the Rainbow has an inner meaning as well: it was God's promise that He would always accept a person's sincere repentance if it was directed to Him. From that point on, God endowed mankind with the ability to seek and gain His forgiveness, and He insured that a person's freedom to choose good includes the strength to prevail over animalistic and self-centered desires. Still, the Seven Laws received by Noah could have been challenged at a later time by any misleader who also claimed to be a prophet, and how would a person know which course to follow? This points to the singular importance of the revelation at Mount Sinai. At Mount Sinai, the Creator revealed Himself to a nation of at least three million Jewish people, making them all witnesses to testify to their future children and the world, so that no person could ever arise to seriously refute the prophecy and instruction which Moses received, which is called the Torah. Included in the Torah was the Noahide Code, to be preserved for the generations of mankind, and the details of God's directive for all Gentiles to observe their Seven Noahide Commandments. These details are the true foundation of the universal Noahide Code. A righteous Gentile merits to receive a place in the eternal future World to Come through observance of these commandments. That is a Gentile's part in the Torah of Moses, which is God's ?Tree of Life'. It all begins with recognizing the perfect Unity of the Creator.
