CELESTIAL ETERNITY
The Rainbow That Is Over God's Throne
The Rainbow That Is Over God's Throne
Author: Mark V. Markov
The rainbow that is over God's throne
He placed it in the sky
To remind Him
That if He gets angry with mankind
Not to flood the whole earth again
It is a covenant between God and us
When it comes to the flood
So it reminds us of God's early grace
So these words pertain to people
Man and a woman
Being under that grace
Still existing,
Still surviving.
Searching for heaven
Falling in love
Somewhere out there
In this life.
Somewhere out there
In this life
The rainbow that is over God's throne
He placed it in the sky
To remind Him
That if He gets angry with mankind
Not to flood the whole earth again
It is a covenant between God and us
When it comes to the flood
So it reminds us of God's early grace...
Ezekiel 1:26-28
26 And above the expanse over their heads there was the likeness of a throne,
in appearance like sapphire; and seated above the likeness of a throne was a likeness with a human appearance.
27 And upward from what had the appearance of his waist I saw as it were gleaming metal,
like the appearance of fire enclosed all around.
And downward from what had the appearance of his waist I saw as it were the appearance of fire,
and there was brightness around him.
28 Like the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud on the day of rain,
so was the appearance of the brightness all around.
Such was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord.
And when I saw it, I fell on my face,
and I heard the voice of one speaking.
Revelation 4:3
And he who sat there had the appearance of jasper and carnelian,
and around the throne was a rainbow that had the appearance of an emerald.
Genesis 9:8-17
8 Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him,
9 "Behold, I establish my covenant with you and your offspring after you,
10 and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the livestock,
and every beast of the earth with you, as many as came out of the ark; it is for every beast of the earth.
11 I establish my covenant with you, that never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood,
and never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth."
12 And God said, "This is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you,
for all future generations:
13 I have set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.
14 When I bring clouds over the earth and the bow is seen in the clouds,
15 I will remember my covenant that is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh.
And the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh.
16 When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant
between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth."
17 God said to Noah, "This is the sign of the covenant that I have established between me and all flesh
that is on the earth."
