Genesis 9: The Covenant Under the Rainbow

Isn't it beautiful to be protected under the light of the rainbow?

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. 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. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. 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: 12-16

God promise men that "Never again will be a flood to destroy the earth". And now, "as for you, be fruitful and increase in number; multiply on the earth and increase upon it." (verse 7) The covenant of rainbow shows God is righteous, but also mercy and kind. He grieved in what we have done, but it is just because He loves us so much.

"The LORD was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain" Genesis 6: 6

Every heavy rain fall cleanses dirt away, and the rainbow appears to remind us that there is a new beginning have began again.
