Rainbow Bible Living
Christians: Question about Noah and the rainbow...?
It's my understanding that the bible says that the rainbow was created following the Great Flood as a sign of his new covenant with Noah and mankind. (bible verses below)
My question is this:
The passage makes it clear that the rainbow was *first* created after the flood... meaning that rainbows did not exist before this time.
Of course, that is based on reading the passage literally.
Is it the Christian belief that rainbows didn't exist before the time of Noah?
Or is this part of the bible really an analogy, and not literally true? (Is the flood story & rainbow thing really more like a parable?)
From Genesis 9:
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:
And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
Personally I'd like to hear more about the 'ice shield' hyperbolic chamber, tim mentioned. I don't think the bible mentioned that at any point.
