Christian Symbolism in The Rainbow
by A rainbow reminds of us several ideas about God.
A rainbow is a beautiful and splendid appearance in the midst of blue sky or even beyond the dark clouds and cold of a storm that has broke and cleared. It is like a super-real reminder that there is ahead of future of beauty and peace for which all the saved may hope. God demonstrates the fundamental nature of physics in the rainbow as a malleable temporal composition. We often see the rainbow following the challenging assaults of weather before darkness. It is our reminder of God to take with us as we enter into the twilight zone and then darkness of night.
Apophatic theology is the negative way, the mysterious and silent method of appreciating deeply the ineffable nature of God. Mankind must be silent and contemplative on so many issues, yet God can afford to splash a few rainbows now and then letting one know that reality is contingent after all.

The rainbow seems to represent a covenant of God. It is a reminder of his power to control the physical forces of the Universe and arrange it into its component elements as He wills. The four forces of nature as they are known to us; the weak and strong nuclear forces, gravity and electro-magnetism are thought to be composed of quarks or strings. Light quanta refracted bend with different wavelengths into constituent seven primary colors. The Word of God may have started the pre-perturbative vacuum to begin a Universe inflation with the right Word frequencies set into a primordial zero dimensional membrane. As the wavelengths act virtual particles appear ass thickened space-time wave trains and the entire bootstrapped Universe occurs building upon The Word. A rainbow is a good reminder of God.
(Revelation 4:3, KJV) “And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. “
(Revelation 10:1, KJV) “And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow upon his head, and his face as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:”
These passages from The Revelation remind us that Jesus Christ is God, and the issue of The Word for the Universe to begin was an elemental act of God. The theistic emanation of the Universe is consistent with M-Theory, yet physical cosmology will likely always struggle to overcome the finite limitations of cosmological theory-a transcendence only God can fully comprehend.
