From the Bible:Genesis 9:8- says: And God went on to say to Noah and to his sons with him: 9 "And as for me, here I am establishing my covenant with YOU men and with YOUR offspring after YOU, 10 and with every living soul that is with YOU, among fowls, among beasts and among all living creatures of the earth with YOU, from all those going out of the ark to every living creature of the earth. 11 Yes, I do establish my covenant with YOU: No more will all flesh be cut off by waters of a deluge, and no more will there occur a deluge to bring the earth to ruin.

Answer:

God actually made two covenants with Noah. One (Genesis 6:18) was to preserve him during the Flood, and the other (Genesis ch.9) was to refrain from sending another worldwide flood.

Note also that these covenants differed from the Covenants with Abraham (Genesis ch.15 and 17) in that Abraham's covenants included spiritual elements - a relationship with God; while the covenants of Noah were promises of God concerning physical matters.

How is God's covenant with Noah different from his covenant with Abraham?

The story of Noah is a creation story and its purpose was to help explain where we came from and why things are the way they are. In this story, God made a great flood that covered the whole earth but, after the flood subsided, made a covenant with Noah that he would never again send a flood to destroy humanity. The sign of his covenant was the rainbow.The story of Abraham, in the form we have today, was a story of the Hebrew people. Its purpose was to help explain where the people came from and why they lived in the land of Israel. The covenant had two important parts: to make Abraham the father of many nations and to make him the father of a great nation. As an Israelite legend, this meant that the great nation would be Israel. Thus the Israelites learnt that they were descended from a great leader who had come from Ur of the Chaldees to live in the Promised Land, but not yet to settle and own it to the exclusion of others. The sign of God's covenant would be the circumcision of all Abraham's male descendants.

Is the Gilgamesh flood story similar to the Noah's Flood story?

You might want to check OAHSPE for a correlation between Arc of Noa and the sinking of Atlantis (Pan). It might be shorter to find the differences - there aren't many! In both stories you find that - a deity confides in a man that there is going to be a flood which will destroy all living things. - nobody else is given this message - the deity tells the man to save himself, his family, and animals by building a boat - the dimensions and materials of the boat are specified in detail, as are some of the ritual observations, such as sacrifices, that the man must make - the man does so. Other people are scornful or surprised by what he's doing - the building and waterproofing of the boat is described in some detail, as is the gathering of different types of animals - the boat is finished, all the chosen get on board, and down comes the rain. - the rain lasts for a long time, killing everyone except those on the boat. - the boat comes to rest on a mountain top - the man releases first one bird, then another (2 in Noah, 3 in Gilgamesh). One bird is a dove, one is a raven. One comes back, one never does. - The non-return of the last bird is taken as a sign that the world is coming back to life, because the bird has been able to find food - the passengers and animals come out of the boat and spread out across the land - the man makes an animal sacrifice, and the sacrifice is found acceptable - there is a general resolution that the god or gods will not send another flood again There are a number of other deluge myths in different cultures including Greek with Deucalion's flood, and even in Central America. But few have as many details in common as these two.


What unconditional promise did God make to mankind that is central to all of the Scriptures?

I believe the ONLY UNCONDITIONAL promise The Lord God Almighty made with ALL of mankind (reguardless of their belief) is found in... Gen 9:11-13 And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth. And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. God promised the earth, all its creatures and ALL mankind that He would never destroy the earth by flood again. The rainbow is a sumbol to ALL mankind
