The Rainbow's Real Promise
 


Our Earth suffers horrible natural disasters. Some are caused by human mis-management of their environment, some by the failure of human created engineering and many others simply due to the natural laws that God put in place at creation. Do you wonder if God is going to again destroy every living thing on the Earth as he did in the time of Noah? God has promised us that he will not. He declares that the rainbow is His symbol of the covenant with His creation to never again flood the whole earth and destroy all living creatures.

Genesis 9:12

And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: 13 I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 14 Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, 15 I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. 16 Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.”
