The flood, the reason for it, the  reality of it, and all the ramifications of it. Afterwards, God  put a rainbow in the air for Noah and his family. Let me say by  way of introduction that God put three items in the sky to speak  to men:<\/p>\n<p>1. The Pillar of Cloud and Fire &#8211;  His Presence &#8211; With, above, under, before, behind and in.  (Heb. 13:5; Matt. 20:28; John 14:18)<br \/>  2. The Star &#8211; His Preeminence &#8211; He is above  all, before all and the all in all.(Col. 1:18; Song 5:10) (Ill.  Place, Prominence, Preeminence)<br \/>  3. The Rainbow &#8211; His Promise &#8211; (Ill. Not a  contract!)He is a covenant-keeper.What He says He will do, He  will do! (Heb. 6:18; Rom. 4:21)This is the only one that remains  for us today! (Ill. A constant reminder that Jesus was raised up  into the Heavens as a token of God&#8217;s promises in salvation!)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>(Ill. The Rainbow has been perverted by          the devil!)<\/li>\n<li>The Rainbow is a Picture of Jesus.          The colors from the bottom to the top are:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol>\n<li>Purple &#8211; Royalty &#8211; King          (Ill. 1 Tim. 6:15)<\/li>\n<li>Blue &#8211; Heaven &#8211; He came from          Heaven (Ill. John 3:13)<\/li>\n<li>Green &#8211; New Life &#8211; He gives          life (John 14:6)<\/li>\n<li>Yellow &#8211; Sun Light &#8211; He is          the light of the world (John 8:12)<\/li>\n<li>Orange &#8211; Warning &#8211; Repent!,          &quot;Ye must be born again.&quot; (John 3:3, 7; Ps.          9:17)<\/li>\n<li>Red &#8211; Blood &#8211; The only way          to God! (1 Pet. 1:18-19; Rev. 1:5)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>(Ill. When I am under the bow, I am shielded by  the Blood &#8211; Ill. High Priest &#8211; Heb. 9:7, 12)<\/p>\n<p>(Ill. All the colors of the spectrum, even  color the eye cannot see, are contained in the rainbow; and Jesus  colors all of life with His great glory!)<\/p>\n<p>When I look up, I must first see  Him as the King of Glory! (Ill. Man cannot come to God until we  see Him as He really is!)<\/p>\n<p>When He looks down, He must see  the Blood of the Lord Jesus! Praise God, He never sees me as I  am! (1 Cor. 6:9-11; Isa. 1:18!)(Ill. Justification &#8211; Glory to  God!!!)<\/p>\n<p>There is a secondary rainbow! In  it, the colors are reversed. <\/p>\n<p>When I See the red, I am reminded that the only  way to get to Him is through the Blood of Jesus! When He looks  down, He looks at men through the eyes of the King of Kings! He  is Holy Righteous God. Do not be deceived, God will Judge all  those outside of His Son Jesus &#8211; 1 John 5:12!<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">2 things are necessary for  a rainbow to develop:<\/p>\n<p>1. A Disturbance in Heaven &#8211;  (Ill. Storm &#8211; Ill. Calvary!)<br \/>  2. Sunlight &#8211; (Resurrection!) &#8211; Ill. The sunshine  of His resurrection shined through the drops of His shed Blood  and produced the Heavenly Rainbow of God&#8217;s Eternal Grace!  (Ill. On rare occasions, the moon can produce rainbows!)<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">Notice some facts about  the rainbow:<\/p>\n<p>I. Man didn&#8217;t ask for the rainbow,  it was all God&#8217;s idea! (Ill. Calvary! It was all  God!) (Ill. Revelation 13:8) (Ill. Natural man is dead, Eph. 2:1!  He cannot initiate any movement toward God! Man would never have  a desire for God unless God called first &#8211; John 6:44) (Ill. The  danger of trifling with God &#8211; Gen. 6:3)<\/p>\n<p>II. Man cannot destroy a rainbow!  (Man cannot undo the work of Calvary!)(Ill. Psa. 119:89 &#8211;  It&#8217;s settled! Glory!!) (Ill. The critics, the liberals, the  infidels and inforhells can never change the work that Jesus  finished!) <\/p>\n<p>III. All men see the rainbow the same!  (Ill. the Spirit reveals Jesus the same to all men!)(Ill. The  Brazen Serpent! &#8211; Num 21) There&#8217;s only one Jesus &#8211; Acts  4:12!<\/p>\n<p>IV. God looks upon the rainbow and  remembers His promise! (Ill. Jesus at God&#8217;s right  hand! &#8211; Rom. 8:34; Heb. 1:3)<\/p>\n<p>V. The rainbow touches both Heaven and  earth! (Ill. Jesus and the cross!) (Ill. The Daysman &#8211;  Job 9:33; Ill. 1 Tim. 2:5)<\/p>\n<p>VI. The rainbow cannot be taken back!  (Ill. v.12 and 16) (Ill. Perpetual &#8211; So is salvation! John 10:28  &#8211; Ill. Never! &quot;Ill. Never Never Land!) (Ill. Jesus sat down!  &#8211; Heb. 10:12!!)<\/p>\n<p>VII. Nobody has ever seen a complete  rainbow! (Ill. Nobody has ever fully comprehended all  that Jesus is and can be!) (Ill. Solomon and Sheba &#8211; 1Kings 10:7)  (Ill. In Heaven, we will understand &#8211; Rev. 4:3!) (Ill. The half  has never been told! &#8211; 1 Cor. 2:9!) (Ill. How I know Him now, 1  Cor. 13:12, how I&#8217;ll know Him then!)<\/p>\n<p>Conc:Rainbows are best seen when the sun is at  40 in  the morning and evening! Christians are in one of three places.  We are in the &quot;Dark night of the soul&quot;, Isa. 50:10;  just coming out of it; or heading into it. Regardless, Jesus  looks His best in the bright morning when the dark night has  passed. However, He also looks His best when the darkness is  beginning to gather. But, wait, He looks best when the darkness  has stolen the sight of His glory and shining, because we know He  is there and when the light comes in the morning of our  deliverance, Jesus our blessed rainbow, will be waiting to shine  on us once again! Isn&#8217;t God good?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gen. 9:12-17 GOD PUT A RAINBOW IN THE CLOUDS FOR ME Intro: Ill.
