ORIGINAL RAINBOW

ORIGINAL RAINBOW

   Have you had just about enough of the "rainbow" colors on your social media and on the television lately?  Please allow me to reset your spirit.  The rainbow was given to us in the Book of Genesis through Noah, after God had destroyed much of mankind.  It is a symbol of God's promise to us that He will not flood the earth again:  (Genesis 9: 8 - 17)

   

   "8) Then God told Noah and his sons, 9) "I hereby confirm my covenant with you and your descendants, 10) and with all the animals that were on the boat with you--the birds, the livestock, and all the wild animals--every living creature on earth.  11) Yes, I am confirming my covenant with you.  Never again will floodwaters kill all living creatures; never again will a flood destroy the earth."

   12) Then God said, "I am giving you a sign of my covenant with you and with all living creatures, for all generations to come.  13) I have placed my rainbow in the clouds.  It is the sign of my covenant with you and with all the earth.  14) When I send clouds over the earth, the rainbow will appear in the clouds, 15) and I will remember my covenant with you and with all living creatures.  Never again will the floodwaters destroy all life.  16) When I see the rainbow in the clouds, I will remember the eternal covenant between God and every living creature on earth."  17) Then God said to Noah, "Yes, this rainbow is the sign of the covenant I am confirming with all the creatures on earth."

   So, be happy when you see rainbow colors.  This is another way to proclaim The Good News.  The Deceiver will try to steal your joy.  He imitates and mocks our God.  Go on the offense and reclaim the sign of this covenant with the God of Noah.  Maybe the one you witness to may not know where the "rainbow colors" originated.
