Rainbow

It seems the eternal decree from God given to Noah after the flood was this: "Never will it be, never should you doubt that it might be, that punishment is a thing I do for punishment’s sake; as an ending; as the final stroke of My will; for My Glory alone. It isn’t. That is not the nature of My wrath anymore than it is the nature of My mercy.  My wrath is not for the glory of justice in itself. For that would not be Just.  My wrath is only for education; for learning; for betterment; for healing; for salvation; for bringing you out of death to Life; for bringing you out of anything else, including yourself, to Me. I will rain down, I will rain and rain and rain, I will flood every possible corner of your life, to the very point of complete destruction, if that is what it takes for you to look and live; to see My love."
A rainbow is a thing that—like the hope it represents—because it is seen for only a moment, seems only to exist for a moment.  But this is exactly not the case.  Because it is seen at all, even if for only a moment, a rainbow reveals what is always there, only waiting to be revealed by rain.  A rainbow reveals the light. Every part of it, every wave a color of the visible world.
