8 And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,

9 And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;

10 And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.

11 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.

12 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:

13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.

14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow 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; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.

16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.

17 And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.

This is what the rainbow was meant to symbolize; God's covenant with Noah and all living things. When we see a rainbow, we should be remembering God's grace. It shouldn't be co-opted for ungodly means.

May Christ light your way.

I wonder what good reason those who disliked this post have.

Also the rainbow seems to be related to the 12 gemstone foundations of New Jerusalem since those gemstones shine like a rainbow under polarized light., plus the foundation would look as such as a whole.

Also, as I understand it, a natural rainbow also has 7 colors.
Which is the same number representing completion in Jewish tradition, if I recall.

Judeo-Christian tradition, and more critically, our Scriptures, have a far older claim to the rainbow as a symbol than any other.

Mister, your words speak truth.

A lot of people just see it as a sign of wonder, and i wonder how the pot of gold came to be a thing. I don't recall any Leprechaun folklore stating such. Though, what about a double rainbow?
