The Meaning of the Rainbow NKJV


Genesis 9:8-17 Then God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying;

And as for Me, behold, I establish My covenant with you and with your descendants after you,

and with every living creature that is with you; the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you, of all that go out of the ark, every beast of the earth.

'Thus I establish My covenant with you; Never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood; never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth."

And God said; "This the sign of the covenant which I make between Me and you, and every living creature that is with you, to perpetual generations;

"I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth.

"It shall be, when I bring a cloud over the earth,that the rainbow shall be seen in the cloud;

"and I will remember My covenant which is between Me and you and and every living creature of all flesh; the water shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh.

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."

And God said to Noah, "This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that is on the earth."

Ezekiel 1:28 Like the appearance of a rainbow in a cloud on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the brightness  all around it. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. So when I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard a voice of One speaking.

Ezekiel 2:1-10 And He said to me, "Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak to you."

Then the Spirit entered me when He spoke to me, and set me on my feet; And I heard Him who spoke to me.

And He said to me; "Son of man, I am sending you to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against Me; they and their fathers have transgressed against Me to this very day.

"For they are impudent and stubborn children. I am sending you to them, and you shall say tot hem, 'Thus says the the Lord God.'

"As for them, whether they hear or whether they refuse-- for they are a rebellious house-- yet they will know that a prophet has been among them.

"And you, son of man, do not be afraid of them nor be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you and you dwell among scorpions, do not be afraid of their words or dismayed by their looks, though they are a rebellious house.

"You shall speak My words to them, whether they hear or whether they refuse, for thy are rebellious.

"But you, son of man, hear what I say to you, Do not be rebellious like that rebellious house; open your mouth and eat what I give you."

Now when I looked, there was a hand stretched out to me; and behold, a scroll of a book was in it.

Then He spread it before me; and there was writing on the inside and on the outside, and written on it were lamentations and mourning and woe.
