Rainbow



A Rainbow is a magnificent natural phenomenon that occurs when rays from a distant light source pass through drops of water. The coloring of a rainbow is dependent upon the refraction and reflection of the light passing through the raindrops, producing a distinct band of visible, colored light. According to Genesis 9, the rainbow was a covenant sign created by God in conjunction with his promise to never again flood the entire earth.

Purpose
God made a promise to Noah after the global flood that he would never again send flood waters that would destroy all life. The rainbow was a sign of the covenant that God made with Noah:

Biblical Record
Not only was a rainbow mentioned in Genesis as a mark of the covenant, but it was also mentioned several times elsewhere in the scriptures as a testament to the glory of God.
