and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.

     God gives more specific laws for preserving the flesh order, as you'll remember the sad state of the earth before this flood of Noah's time, and the need for order, thus the Command for capital punishment earlier in this study.
     This 'covenant' is to the whole flesh order, which included all living creatures upon the earth.

Gen 9:11   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."

     This specific covenant was that our Father promised He would never again destroy flesh off the earth by the waters of a flood, as He had done to end the first earth age at Gen.1:2 and here during Noah's day. We do know that this flesh age will be destroyed by a 'consuming fire', as written in...

 

 2 Peter 3: Read All.      5: For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: 6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished. 7: But the heavens and the earth which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgement and perdition of ungodly men. 8... one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day... 13 Nevertheless we, according to His promise,  look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

 

Zechariah 14: Read All. This prophecy is yet future...2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; (Armageddon) and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the People shall not be cut off from the city. 3 Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when He fought in day of battle.  21 ...there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the Lord of Hosts.

 

Nahum 1: Read All. The mountains quake at Him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at His presence, yea, the world and all that dwell therein. 15 Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good tidings that publisheth peace! O Judah keep, keep thy solemn feasts, perform thy vows: for the wicked shall no more pass through thee; he is utterly cut off.

 

That event happens at Christ's Second Advent as KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. This old ancient earth will merely be 'purged' by fire, in similar manner as the floods did accomplish.

Gen 9:12   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:

13    I do set My bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between Me and the earth.
14    And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:

     Ezekiel saw this 'bow' along with God's fiery chariot, and John also saw a vision of God's Throne with this 'bow' around it.

 

 Ezek.1: As the appearance as the bow 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 Lord...
