The Colors of the Rainbow
Submitted by Sue Barthel
Theme: God's promises.
Object: None.
Scripture: 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." Genesis 9:16 (NIV) A rainbow, resembling an emerald, encircled the throne. Revelation 4:3b (NIV)
Did you know that a Rainbow is a Promise?
Did you know The Bible begins with a rainbow and ends with a rainbow:
• In the Book of Genesis it says: The Rainbow of God's Promise shines across the world.
• In the Book of Revelation it says: The Emerald Rainbow shines around the Throne of God in heaven.
A very long time ago, God could find only one honorable person, Noah. So God asked him to build a large boat and to load it with his family and pairs of every kind of bird and animal on earth. Then God sent rain for forty days and nights until the earth was covered with water in a great flood, and all the people and animals outside drowned - even the birds.
After the water dried up, Noah build an altar and worshiped God, and God spoke to Noah and his sons. God promised that the earth and everything living on it would never again be destroyed by a flood.
We see this story as evidence one more time of the grace and goodness of a God who makes solemn promises. And God gave us something to remind us of that solemn promise.
A rainbow is an arch of light exhibiting a wide range of colors. It is caused by drops of water falling through the air. It is usually seen in the sky at the end of a rain shower. Because of this, God said every time we see a rainbow it would remind us of His promise never to flood the whole world again and remind us of His love for us.
Do you know what each color in the rainbow means? I found something that explains it:
Red represents the blood Jesus shed for us
Yellow is for God’s perfect light, the sun so bright
Orange is coming...
