Throughout Biblical history God dealt with man through covenants…establishing the relationship between Him and His people. Covenants were usually certified by visual symbols…in this case, a rainbow to remind mankind that God would never again destroy the earth. (Genesis 9:11) The Jews regarded this particular covenant between God and Noah, after the great flood, as the basis of the relationship between God and all mankind to come. The rainbow in the Bible has always been viewed as the pinnacle of God’s astounding creation, (Ezekiel 1:28) His glory and power, (Revelation 4:1-3) and His splendor. (Revelation 10:1) But for us, seeing a rainbow in the sky after a fierce thunderstorm can produce hope, faith, and gratitude for the enduring gifts of grace and mercy… all rolled up in those beautiful colors of God’s promise.
