Believers, never forget that the rainbow belongs to us! It is a sign of God's promise to His people. Doesn't matter who tries to hijack it, the rainbow belongs to God and His people!

Florida workers disassemble rainbow brick roads.

Not painting over it...

Not sand-blasting the colors off...

Ripping the whole thing out as if the street has been desecrated.

Though those involved in perverse behaviors use it as a symbol for their depravity, symbolically rubbing God's nose in His promise by flaunting their sin, the rainbow is still, and always will be, a sign that God will never again destroy the world by flood as a result of man's sinfulness. When you look up, let it be a reminder of God's grace.

Spurgeon's Morning and Evening Devotions

Evening, August 12

"The bow shall be seen in the cloud." Genesis 9:14

The rainbow, the symbol of the covenant with Noah, is typical of our Lord Jesus, who is the Lord's witness to the people. When may we expect to see the token of the covenant? The rainbow is only to be seen painted upon a cloud. When the sinner's conscience is dark with clouds, when he remembers his past sin, and mourneth and lamenteth before God, Jesus Christ is revealed to him as the covenant Rainbow, displaying all the glorious hues of the divine character and betokening peace. To the believer, when his trials and temptations surround him, it is sweet to behold the person of our Lord Jesus Christ- to see Him bleeding, living, rising, and pleading for us. God's rainbow is hung over the cloud of our sins, our sorrows, and our woes, to prophesy deliverance. Nor does a cloud alone give a rainbow, there must be the crystal drops to reflect the light of the sun. So, our sorrows must not only threaten, but they must really fall upon us. There had been no Christ for us if the vengeance of God had been merely a threatening cloud: punishment must fall in terrible drops upon the Surety. Until there is a real anguish in the sinner's conscience, there is no Christ for him; until the chastisement which he feels becomes grievous, he cannot see Jesus. But there must also be a sun; for clouds and drops of rain make not rainbows unless the sun shineth. Beloved, our God, who is as the sun to us, always shines, but we do not always see Him- clouds hide His face; but no matter what drops may be falling, or what clouds may be threatening, if He does but shine there will be a rainbow at once. It is said that when we see the rainbow the shower is over. Certain it is, that when Christ comes, our troubles remove; when we behold Jesus, our sins vanish, and our doubts and fears subside. When Jesus walks the waters of the sea, how profound the calm!

I noticed this beautiful rainbow as we were traveling to the beach. The rainbow always reminds me that God's promises are true. 2 Corinthians 1:20

This is the way!

“The bill “On Family Values and Protection of Minors” was adopted in the 150-member parliament by an 84-strong majority of the governing Georgian Dream party, with no votes against it as the opposition parties chose to boycott the session.

The legislation outlaws same-sex marriage, adoption by same-sex couples, gender reassignment surgeries, changing the designation of sex on official documents, pride events and public displays of the rainbow flag, promotion of homosexuality and gender transition in media and advertisements, as well as any kind of display or promotion of LGBT ideology in schools.

“This initiative clearly distinguishes between those who prioritize the best interests of society and those who pursue external agendas. It differentiates between individuals who genuinely care about protecting human rights and those who attempt to promote harmful propaganda,” said Rati Ionatamishvili, the chair of the parliament’s human rights committee who submitted the package earlier this year, adding

The legislation aims to protect minors from detrimental influences, as some advocate for issues such as sex reassignment surgeries and the inclusion of LGBT materials in schools and kindergartens. It is evident that the opposition has distanced itself from Parliament due to its position on this initiative.”

Revelation
Chapter 4

1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.

2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.

3 And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.

4 And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.

5 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.

6 And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.

7 And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.

8 And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.

9 And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever,

10 The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,

11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

Four Lessons on Life 1. Never take down a fence until you know why it was put up. 2. If you get too far ahead of the army, your soldiers may mistake you for the enemy. 3. Don't complain about the bottom rungs of the ladder; they helped to get you higher. 4. If you want to enjoy the rainbow, be prepared to endure the storm.
~Warren W. Wiersbe

IF people would do digs OR REMEMBER what these places have done....they'd know WHY they are closing!
Target for instance was FOR the alphabet and selling rainbow crap....
Walmart was sold to China years ago, though Sam Walton's Adult children are Still Share Holders...
Dollar General is also owned by China...and they are almost on every block..
MANY of these places GAVE to BLM... the list goes on... I just haven't figured out Lowe's yet...It is "supposedly" owned by a Veteran... But ...

Revelation
Chapter 10

1 And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:

2 And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,

3 And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.

4 And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.

5 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,

6 And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:

7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

8 And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.

9 And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.

10 And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.

11 And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.

A passing rain shower made a double rainbow appear in the sky over Virginia at sunset this evening, their color vanishing slowly as the rays of orange sunlight descended below the treed horizon. #DoubleRainbow #Rainbow #Virginia #Weather

Good Morning Everyone, if it didn't rain, we wouldn't have a beautiful rainbow
