The first rainbow appeared in Scripture after the storm of judgment had passed. God placed it in the clouds as a reminder that His mercy had made a promise. What makes the rainbow significant isn't what humanity sees in it, but what God said about it. Culture may redefine a symbol, but it cannot rewrite a covenant. The rainbow reminds us that even when the world changes, God's Word remains unchanged. “The rainbow shall be in the cloud, and I will look on it to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth” (Genesis 9:16).
