The word for today is - Rainbow!

Good morning,
The word for today is - Rainbow!
Lets look in the Bible and find the rainbow, its mentioned in Genesis and in Revelation of the Bible. In the book of Genesis 9:12-13,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:I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. What does a rainbow, and the colors of the rainbow, symbolize in the Bible? The rainbow symbolized God's mercy and the covenant, that God made with Noah (representing mankind) not to destroy the world in such a way again. God wants us to look up into the rainbow and have hope even when we walk through difficult times. Read Genesis 9:16, And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth. Do the rainbow colors have any spiritual meaning? Yes! The color white is symbolic of holiness,the color blue  a symbol of deity or royalty,and Purple itself was used as a symbol of royalty. Read Revelation 4:3, And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.  John wrote about a rainbow he saw around Jesus ,Who was in a pillar of cloud like was described in Exodus. In that experience, the Israelites were camping and they saw this cloud which was a covering about Jesus. When the cloud moved, they were to follow. It was a light for them at night a covering from the hot sun in the day. When the Egyptians wanted to kill them, it blocked their vision. They saw darkness, but on the other side of the cloud it was light for God's people. Jesus was leader of Moses and the million people who left Egypt for the promised land. Again at the end of time, God's people will see Jesus in His cloud. Read Revelation 10:1, And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
