Rainbows: The Sign of God's [No Flood] Covenant

So, what is a rainbow?

bow - arc

          From the human/scientific observation we know that a rainbow is a refraction of light as it crosses through a medium such as water and humid air (in the case of a rainbow) that separates the light spectrum. However, there remains a bigger question; how come it doesn't happen throughout an entire high humidity and rain combination of weather? (How come you can't create a rainbow yourself all that easily without a prism?) The answer is that there is another factor in play that we don't see, unless we read a source that actually tells us the why, the who, the where, and the how. And that source is the Bible The Word of God.




What does the Bible say?

          
          A rainbow appears where most people in the area (if not all) can see it during rainfall (before, during, or after) as an automated signal to humanity of God's covenant with us of no more diluvian-scale floods throughout the planet. So, when it rains and we see a rainbow we can rejoice and be thankful that God is signaling to us, whichever town it may be on, that His word has not expired and the word He gives us is never broken.


Genesis 9:8-17
King James Version (KJV)
And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying, 
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.
