2 Rainbows
-
Sometimes, God speaks without words.
-
-
This happened about 10 years ago.
I was burdened for my children’s salvation.
Many years, and many tears.
Many thoughts of regret. What had I done wrong?
Had a been a bad mom?
Was I a failure as a witness for the Lord, to even my own family?
-
It had been raining, and I was on my way home from work.
I was crying out to God in my heart, crying as I drove.
My heart was broken, as I remembered distressful events I had just experienced.
-
The route home was the usual one.
Somewhat rural, which would lead to a busier highway and the next town.
Suddenly, I looked up, and there was a rainbow actually ending on the portion of the road I was driving on.
It was in front of me.
-
Amazed, l looked around.
It was beautiful!
And there was a second rainbow too!
What I actually saw looked similar to this.
It was 2 rainbows, forming a curved cross in the sky.
-
The first rainbow I saw ended on the road in front of me.
The end of second rainbow was a little more difficult to locate, but it appeared to end on the path I was taking to get home.
I felt such joy to look at this unusual event, and was excited as I made my way home.
I felt this was God’s open promise and covenant with me for my children.
-
It is many years later, and when I get discouraged, I remember the 2 rainbows.
One for each child.
And the shape of the cross in the sky.
Someday, it will come true, because God made it clear to me.
-
For all those of you who have lost loved ones:
…. remember that God will keep his covenant with you, if you remember His promises for good, and not for evil.
-
For all those in a “flood,” there is a rainbow covenant that comes with it.
And you WILL make it through to final victory.
This is not my promise to you. It is God’s.
Beautiful, beautiful beautiful. I too need that covenant
for my child.
If you think about it, none of us mom’s would “make it
home” from work if we didn’t believe God’s promise to
save our household if we had faith in Him.
Your sister,
Mariel
Amen and AMEN!
That rainbow thing happened to me during a troubling time in my life.. No rain, sunshine and a rainbow.. I knew it was the Lord promising peace..
Sunami in Japan and the lesson of fig tree told by Jesus and what do you think?
hi Sunimal
The Lord always warns us. Jesus himself said pray nothing happens in the winter. Most likely, it is too late to prepare at that time.
So, it makes sense that the warnings to prepare occur in the spring, while we still have the resources to do so.
Israel has had trouble start in the spring. In 1948, after its rebirth, it was attacked by 5 Arab states. Then in 1967, it was attacked again in the 6 day war. But these were tsunamis of enemies, not mother nature.
It is my hope that warnings are something we can all live through, and learn what we need to do, so our lives are spared.
Right now, we still have time to pray and repent, and we should focus on that. We can prepare physically, but things like tidal waves will overcome anything physical we do. So, prayer for protection is the most important.
My prayers are with Japan, and all those in the Pacific area, who could experience harm from this.
Beautiful, Marianne. I never see a rainbow that I don’t feel the touch of God. He spoke again ..without words..as HE allowed the earthquake in Japan. He continues to align economies, nations, hearts as He accomplishes His perfect work on the earth. Considered the dreams many had shared here…concerning ‘deatruction/fires/earthquakes.’ CNN reports this one is the 7th largest in history…’7′ being God’s perfect number of ‘fullnss’.
Sunimal…this ‘historic’ earthquake is surely one of many seaonal ‘signs’ of where we are on God’s calandar. Seems God is continuing His alignment of nations, economies, and peoples as He continues His perfect work on the earth. This earthquake and its worldwide impact is another degree of swelling of the fig’s ‘bud.’
Mt 24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
Hi Marrianne….I loved reading your rainbow story ….I had a similar experience….I hope this encourages you in return: My children are dear to me too when I became a christian the eldest was 13 our youngest child had not yet been born. I thought God would instantly resolve our marital problems and our children would all grow up to know the Lord, sadly that never happened after 25 years a christian my husband is further away from God than ever : HOWEVER God definately has a plan and is faithful to answer our prayers for our children: One day about 8 years ago I decided to take a bath..it was the afternoon and I didnt usually do that BUT I found a bottle of bath salts I had been given as a present with a scripture attached it was Genesis 9:v12 – 14 About the Rainbow and the covenant….As I lay in the bath suddenly a small rainbow appeared on my bathroom tiles I did not know how as it was not sunny I started moving objects to see if it would go but it was a supernatural sign for me. I prayed fervently lord what are you saying to me!! That evening I was due to go to a ladies prayer meeting so I made a pact with God!! and said ok Lord if any of the ladies at the meeting tonight mentions a covenant I will tell them all about this bath-time experience. As the prayer meeting that evening drew to a close suddenly one of the ladies opened her Bible and began to read from Isiaih 59: v21 ‘ As for me, this is my covenant with them says the Lord. My spirit who is on you and my words that I have put in your mouth will not depart from your mouth, or the mouths of your children, or the mouths of their children from this time on and forever says the lord.’ I beleived this to be a direct word for my children. Soon after that my two girls both made commimtments……I’m only waiting for my two sons now but I have the promise and like you every time I see a rainbow I am reminded!!! God Bless I am going to post this story which is written down on my computer as I’ve been keeping a diary for many years of what god has done in my life/ on my blog: http://angieskitchen51.wordpress.com
Be warned though I have not had time to update it since the last time you looked…..I am retiring at the end of this month and I am going to develop the blog ….BIG TIME from then on.
hi Angie
God bless you for your story. God never forgets us, if we ask in faith.
Marianne, God’s ‘rainbow’ covenant is especially significant on this day of ‘deluge’ connected to tsunami.
Matianne, A beautiful, sweet, touching and enlightening story, thank you. It reminded me, that about 10 years ago, as you say, and for years before, that we would see rainbows so often. There was a time when double rainbows were frequent as well. In that time period a frirend and I were driving home from the Nappa Valley, in northern Calif. to coastal, southern Orange Co. It was the MOST spectacular day of rainbows we had ever seen, to this day. During our entire journey,from the beautiful northern couintryside to the sea, there were muliple, rainbows and miutiple doubles, we were in AWE! We knew the Lord was speaking in a most glorious way, showing His mighty awesome presence, to all who couiild see! .Since that time period, 10 years ago, rainbows are rare, infrequent, we may see one or two a year. For the longest time I have wondered why. I think it must be part of the end times? How very special it was in how the Lord spoke to you…awesome!
well, that nice god said this should be OK ?
god will be ok, when the radioactive clouds come to your homes to usa????
Let the evildoer still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy, and the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy.‘See, I am coming soon; my reward is with me, to repay according to everyone’s work. rev 22 : 11-12
Revelations 10:1 And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was on his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:
I love rainbows they remind me of a spring rain as a young girl. How good God is that he makes it rain and then he would leave us a rainbow of his presence.
Ezekiel 1:28 Like the appearance of a rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the radiance around him. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. When I saw it I fell face down, and I heard the voice of one speaking.
Knowing the things the word says about who makes the rainbows you would think it would scare anyone else to make a rainbow?
Take a look at this site? I don’t get it are these people lying?
Evil may lurk but God is always near, praise his name.

Forgot the site, caught up in thinking about the Lord and the Rainbow.

A similar thing happened to me about 15 years ago. I was praying for my mom’s salvation after she disowned me for being a Christian. I was driving and crying so hard, I could barely see. It started raining and then the double rainbow appeared and I had a great sense of peace come over me. She didn’t speak to me for years, but in the past year, I’ve seen a huge change. God is so faithful!
hi Anna
I hope the best for you and your mom’s salvation. This vision was back in 1998, so it has been awhile for me too. Let us have faith in the salvation of our loved ones to occur very soon….maybe this year.
In 1985 my wife became a Christian and the day she was baptized she saw a beautiful rainbow on a perfectly cloudless day. She told me that she thought God Himself showed this rainbow to her as a sign of His happiness that she was saved. She died 2 years ago and I know she and Jesus are together now, and I can’t wait to join them someday.
hi JRA
I know you have blessed memories of her. May God continue to bless you.
thank god for speaking to me through rainbows a few days before my autistic daughter started school i dreamt a rainbow over the school bus. believe it or not on the first day of school while waiting for the bus we a saw a rainbow. another situation with my husband i told i know i am not worried it only took a few minutes when a rainbow appeared. there have been other situations where i saw a rainbow. also i just feel it it and when i look outside its there.
hi joann
that is a wonderful testimony of God’s faithfulness and blessings.
GOD speaks to us,whom HE knows well; in LOVING WONDERFUL ways.
This is so strange but about two weeks ago we were driving through some rain and on the right side of us was sunny clear skies and all of a sudden as we looked out of our windshield it looked as if we were driving inside of a rainbow for about 5 secs. The colors were right in front of us as we drove inside of it. We were utterly amazed. I hadnt heard of anyone ever having gone through a rainbow until I read your post! Love, Brandy
hi Brandy
I am glad to hear you had that experience with the rainbow. It is amazing.
It is like you are inside God’s protection, and living his promise as you drive through it.
