The Rainbow, Genesis 9:9-16

The one and only almighty God is holy. He is pure, perfect and totally flawless. He can do no wrong. He cannot lie. He is eternal, omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent. He is full of love, mercy and truth. The rainbow is a symbol of the covenant He has made with the human race, through His holy Word. When I see the rainbow, I am reminded that this is what it represents. To me, it represents no political movement or misdirected efforts for any particular social change. It is God's covenant. I realize that people or political interest groups are free to choose their symbols. This is what freedom is about. Freedom is also about believing the Word of God and its purposes. Here is Genesis 9:9-16. (The New American Standard Version) "9 Now behold, I Myself do establish My covenant with you, and with your descendants after you; 10 and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you; of all that comes out of the ark, even every beast of the earth. 11 I establish My covenant with you; and all flesh shall never again be cut off by the water of the flood, neither shall there again be a flood to destroy the earth.” 12 God said, “This is the sign of the covenant which I am making between Me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all successive generations; 13 I set My bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a sign of a covenant between Me and the earth. 14 It shall come about, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow will be seen in the cloud, 15 and I will remember My covenant, which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and never again shall the water become a flood to destroy all flesh. 16 When the bow is in the cloud, then I will look upon it, to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.”
