Genesis 9:11-16 - "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." 12 And God said: "This is the sign of the covenant which I make between Me and you, and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: 13 I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth. 14 It shall be, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow 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; the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. 16 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." [NKJV]
It was a sign of peace and a promise to us that God would never flood the earth again.
Which God are you talking about? If it happened to be the God of The Bible, well he did promise not to drown humanity with a flood again.
The rainbow was a promise not to send another flood that would wipe out the world.
Its a sign from God after it rains, to remind us that he will never flood the whole world again as the bible states.
god promised he would never flood the earth again!
The earliest I can think of is the one mentioned in the bible, where God used the rainbow as a promise not to flood the earth again. Actual date unknown.
No. The world is never going to flood. God promised us that. Have you read the bible story "noah's ark" ? God made a promise that He'd never flood the earth again. That's what the rainbow means. Its true. Dont worry about the earth flooding, God never has and never will break His promises.
after the flood.
The first covenant is the Rainbow Covenant (Genisis 9) in which God commands the people and animals of Noah's Ark to repopulate the earth, and promises that he will never again flood the earth; leaving the rainbow as a sign of his promise.
One promise made by God in the old testament is that he would never ever destroy the earth with a 40 day flood. The sign of the promise is the rainbow.Gen 9:11 With these words I make my covenant with you: I promise that never again will all living beings be destroyed by a flood; never again will a flood destroy the earth.Just a flood not a 40 day flood
because back in noah's days, God had to flood it to teach his people. and since God love's us, he wont do it ever again. nbut you must understand he said "i will never flood the WHOLE EARTH' so that means, there will BE floods, just not the whole earth at once.
There is no specific reason to why rainbows were made, but if you belive in God it's God's promise to never flood the earth again.
