The rainbow is also a picture of God’s beauty and holiness. God made an everlasting covenant with Noah, his family, and their descendants. The rainbow was the sign of that promise – a reminder of God’s commitment to the earth. He promised never again to destroy the earth by a flood. After the Flood, God made an everlasting covenant with Noah, his family, their descendants, and all the living creatures. The rainbow reassured Noah and his family that a flood on the same scale will never take place again. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life.’” Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Genesis 9:12-15 states: “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: I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. But as Christians, we have the opportunity to remind society that the rainbow, the real rainbow, symbolises something very different. It currently has six colours, previously it had eight and included turquoise and pink. Of course the ubiquitous symbol isn’t a rainbow at all. It seems that Government agencies, Premiership football clubs, police forces, schools and supermarkets are falling over themselves to publicise their LGBT credentials. We might not see much sun over these long winter months, but we have seen plenty of the rainbow. Kenneth Ferguson and Stirling Free Church.
