Noah’s story. Part 3. (The first rainbow)
When Noah and his family came out of the ark, the first thing he did was he made an offering to God. Noah offered this gift of animals to thank God for saving his family from the great flood.
Soon the land was all dried off, Noah and his family began a new life. God blessed them and told them: “You must have many children. You must increase in numbers until people live all over the earth”.
Later when people would hear about the great flood, they might be afraid that a flood would happen again. So God gave something that would remind people of his promise that he will never destroy the earth by flood again. Do you know what he gave to remind them? It was a rainbow.
Rainbow is often seen in the sky when the sun shines after it has rained with many beautiful colors.
This is what God said: “I promise that never again will all people and animals be destroyed by a flood”. When the rainbow appears I will remember my promise that had given”.
So when we see the rainbow what should it remind us of ?? Yes, God’s promise that will never destroy the world again by a great flood.
