The rainbow
A Sign in the Sky
After the great flood in the time of Noah, the Bible records a moment of hope and reassurance. God promises — not just to Noah, but to all living creatures — that He would never again destroy the earth with a flood. To mark this promise, He places a rainbow in the sky. The story is found in Genesis 9:12–17.

A visible reminder
The rainbow isn’t just a beautiful natural phenomenon in the story — it’s described as a sign of a covenant, a visible reminder of God’s mercy, faithfulness, and commitment to creation. Every time a rainbow appears, it is meant to serve as a reminder of that promise between God and the earth.
