Blog Rainbows and God’s Wrath

Rainbows are beautiful displays of vibrant colors. Contained within its arch are seven distinct colors. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet are clearly shown. They are a magnificent sight of awesomeness.

Rainbows are no accident. God created them as a covenant between Him and humanity (Genesis 9:12-17). Even though His new arrangement with humankind is His Son Jesus Christ (Luke 22:20), those rainbows still exist.

After rain and when the sun shines, rainbows emerge. It’s a sign God shows as a reminder of His promise not to use a flood to cast His wrath on unbelievers. He hasn’t taken them away. No, He wants us to see His almighty power.

The world’s use of rainbows doesn’t tie into God’s purpose of why they came about. Instead, they attached it to unholy and sinful passions (Romans 1:26-27). Here we see a reprobate mind at work (Romans 1:28-32).

Indeed, our Father doesn’t want us to forget how He dislikes disobedience, unrighteousness, and disbelief in His existence. For His wrath in Noah’s generation came through flooding and the rainbow covenant promises His final wrath won’t come from water.

God’s Final Wrath

In the book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ, the unveiling of God’s final wrath surfaces. Within the pages of this biblical book are foretold truths. It’s Jesus’s last words to humanity. We can agree that only God’s gift of salvation ensures we won’t experience His final vengeance (Ephesians 2:8-9).

God’s final wrath comes from fire (Revelation 20:15). Make no mistake, Christ shared this reality several times throughout His ministry (Matthew 13:42 John 15:6 Luke 16:19-31).

God’s final decree comes from seven seals, seven trumpets, and seven bowl judgments. The fourth bowl tells us an angel unleashes fire from the sun, scorching men. Besides those judgments, God uses fire to place Satan into eternal fire (Revelation 20:7-10).

As shown above, God will eradicate the devil’s domain. We are fortunate. Indeed, through Christ, He guarantees us eternal life with God (John 14:6). However, we must receive Jesus’s judgment (2 Corinthians 5:10).

How do you see rainbows and God’s wrath?
 
Beautiful job, @Walter Kahler !

But I didn't understand this line. What exactly are you trying to say here?
