Over the past years I have really grown to love rainbows. I was recently able to snap a picture of this one out my front door, that was off to the east. I am overwhelmed with the this sign ('token') that he has given as one of his everlasting convenants with Noah that not only covers those who believe who he is, but also to those who don't. I think it's great that he gave it as a reminder to himself (v.16) that he will look upon it and remember. How truly amazing and what a merciful God!
Gen 9:11-17
11.
And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
12.
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:
13.
I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
14.
And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
15.
And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
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.
17.
And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.
11.
And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
