The true meaning of rainbows...

Genesis 9:8-17 

8 ¶ And God spake unto Noah, and to

his sons with him, saying,

9 And I, behold, I establish my covenant

with you, and with your seed after

you;

10 And with every living creature that

is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle,

and of every beast of the earth with you;

from all that go out of the ark, to every

beast of 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.

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.

What I find fascinating is that verse 16 means that every time we stand in awe as we look upon the beauty of a rainbow, God is also looking down out of heaven at that same rainbow. How incredible is that?!?! :)
