The Bible says, "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. 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: I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth." (Gen 9：11-13)
We all know that in the Bible there is the record of the rainbow, and that it relates to the stories "God destroys the world with a flood" and "Noah makes an ark." From the Bible, we can only know that because people at that time were corrupt, evil, depraved, and committed all sins, which incurred God's loathing, God destroyed the world with a flood and then established a covenant with man with a rainbow as its token. But, do we know the true meaning of God putting the rainbow in the sky?
we know that we didn't try to know the Creator from all things, nor did we understand that the rainbow is a symbol of God's sorrow. Instead, we thought that God destroyed mankind just because at that time they were evil and licentious, committed all sins, so much so that God couldn't bear them anymore. We never thought of how God felt at that time. Now I understand that it was not God's desire to destroy the world with a flood, that He did it against His will and with sorrow. This is like the way parents treat their children. No matter how many mistakes the children make, parents always hold concern for and worry about their children and always hope that their children will immediately rein in and turn back. Only when the children persist in walking on the wrong way and never turn back will parents give them up reluctantly. After the world was destroyed by a flood, God used the rainbow as a token to remind man not to resist God anymore and to tell Himself that He had destroyed the world with a flood and would never do it with a flood again in future. Hidden behind the rainbow is God's grief, sorrow, and reluctance. In all things created by God, there is God's will, and behind the rainbow we always compliment, there are so many stories. After understanding this, whenever I see a rainbow, I will think of God's love and concern for man. The rainbow also makes me know that God not only has loving kindness and mercy but also is grieved for the fall of man.
