The faulty Old Covenant is a shadow of things to come, which is all about the New Everlasting Covenant (Hebrews 8:5-8). Thus, after the Global Flood that destroyed Mankind and the Earth, God promised Noah His New EVERLASTING COVENANT symbolized by the RAINBOW seen in the Clouds of the Sky (Genesis 9:11-13). This alludes to the Glorious Return of Christ => The Mediator of the New Covenant (Matthew 24:30, Hebrews 8:6).

The Physical is a reflection of the Spiritual. The faulty Old Covenant is a shadow of things to come, which is all about the New Everlasting Covenant (Hebrews 8:5-8).
The word COVENANT first appeared in the Bible in Genesis 6:18. This was the Old Covenant God promised to Noah.
- I WILL ESTABLISH MY COVENANT WITH YOU, and you will enter the ARK with your sons, your wife, and your sons' wives. (Gen 6:18 HCSB)
The Covenant with Noah. Here is the first appearance of a Covenant between God and man on the face of Scripture. A Covenant is a solemn compact, tacit or express, between two parties, in which each is bound to perform his part. Hence, a Covenant implies the moral faculty; and wherever the moral faculty exists, there must needs be a Covenant. Consequently, between God and man there was of necessity a Covenant from the very beginning, though the name do not appear.
“My covenant.” The word “my” points to its original establishment with Adam. My primeval Covenant, which I am resolved not to abandon. “Will I establish.” Though Adam has failed, yet will I find means of maintaining my Covenant of life with the seed of the woman. “With thee.” Though all flesh be to perish through breach of my Covenant, yet will I uphold it with thee.
“Go into the ark.” This is the means of safety. Some may say in their hearts, this is a clumsy way to save Noah. But if he is to be saved, there must be some way. And it is not a sign of wisdom to prescribe the way to the All-wise. Rather let us reflect that the erection of this Ark was a daily warning to a wicked race, a deepening lesson of reliance on God to Noah and his household, and a most salutary occupation for the progenitors of the future race of Mankind. “And thy sons, etc.” Noah’s household share in the Covenant.-- BARNES
Noah was an offspring of the sinful First Adam; therefore, God's judgement of "THOU SHALT SURELY DIE" applies to him and his Children (Genesis 2:17). Thus, the First (Old) Covenant God promised to Noah resulted to the Slavery of Sin and Death.
As usual, Mankind broke this Covenant by not listening to Noah to enter the ARK => The only PLACE OF SAFETY during that time. Thus, the Global Flood came and destroyed all those People and Animals outside Noah's Ark of the Covenant.
GOD'S EVERLASTING COVENANT PRESERVED MANKIND
While the Old Covenant is still in effect, God's Promise to Noah of His New Everlasting Covenant tempered God's Wrath; saving and preserving Mankind (Isaiah 54:8-10).
While the Old Covenant is still in effect, God's Promise to Noah of His New Everlasting Covenant tempered God's Wrath; saving and preserving Mankind (Isaiah 54:8-10).
- In a little wrath I hid My Face from thee for a moment; but with EVERLASTING KINDNESS will I have MERCY on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer. (Isa 54:8 KJV)
- For this is LIKE THE DAYS OF NOAH to Me: when I swore that the waters of Noah would never flood the Earth again, so I HAVE SWORN THAT I WILL NOT BE ANGRY WITH YOU OR REBUKE YOU. (Isa 54:9 HCSB)
- For the Mountains shall depart, and the Hills be removed; but MY KINDNESS SHALL NOT DEPART FROM THEE, neither SHALL THE COVENANT OF MY PEACE BE REMOVED, saith the LORD that hath Mercy on thee. (Isa 54:10 KJV)
What is the "EVERLASTING COVENANT"? It is the Congregation of Yisrael (The NUKVA), which is the COVENANT.
Before the Flood, the clouds were thicker because the world in general was more coarse. After the Flood, the clouds became more refined and one could see a rainbow, a sign that man now had the ability to refine the coarse materiality of the world.
Thus, after the Global Flood that destroyed Mankind and the Earth, God promised Noah His New EVERLASTING COVENANT symbolized by the RAINBOW seen in the Clouds of the Sky (Genesis 9:11-13).
- I will establish My COVENANT with you. Neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a Flood. (Gen 9:11 MKJV)
- And God said, This is the TOKEN OF THE COVENANT which I make between Me and you and every living creature with you, for everlasting generations: I set my RAINBOW IN THE CLOUD. (Gen 9:12-13 MKJV)
- The BOW shall be in the cloud; and I WILL LOOK UPON IT, that I MAY REMEMBER THE EVERLASTING COVENANT... (Gen 9:16 KJV)
- And God heard their groaning, and GOD REMEMBERED HIS COVENANT with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. (Exo 2:24 KJV)
- And it shall be, WHEN I BRING A CLOUD over the Earth, that the RAINBOW shall be seen in the Cloud. (Gen 9:14 MKJV)
- As the appearance of the RAINBOW that is in the Cloud in the day of Rain, so was the appearance of the Brightness round about. This was THE APPEARANCE OF THE LIKENESS OF THE GLORY OF THE LORD. (Eze 1:28 KJV)
- And I will look upon it that I may remember the EVERLASTING COVENANT between God and every living creature of ALL FLESH that is upon the Earth. (Gen 9:16 MKJV)
- And then shall appear the SIGN of the Son of Man in Heaven: and then shall all the Tribes of the Earth mourn, and THEY SHALL SEE THE SON OF MAN COMING IN THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN with POWER and GREAT GLORY. (Mat 24:30 KJV)
- As the DAYS OF NOAH were, SO SHALL BE THE COMING OF THE SON OF MAN. (Mat 24:37 MKJV)
