“I do set my bow in the cloud,
and it shall be for a token of a covenant
between Me and the earth.
And it shall come to pass,
when I bring a cloud over the earth,
that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
And I will remember my covenant,
which is between Me and you
and every living creature of all flesh;
and the waters shall no more
become a flood to destroy all flesh.
And the bow shall be in the cloud;
and I will look upon it,
that I may remember the everlasting covenant
between God and every living creature
of all flesh that is upon the earth.”
Genesis 9:13-16

Back in the early years of what is now referred to as, “The Sexual Revolution”, the first “Gay-Pride rainbow” was created, a rainbow-like symbol having 8 colors (adding the color pink to symbolize “female sexuality”).
.
(Of course, the number “8” in the Bible (and in nature), symbolizes Satan. Read, for instance, this website’s trilogy of articles on the number, “8”, beginning with, July 26th (Satan’s Number “8”))

THE RAINBOW: CHRIST’S EVERLASTING COVENANT OF SALVATION
.
Now, it’s oddly interesting that the gay community has chosen the rainbow to be their symbol.
.
As this above passage from Genesis 9:13-16 reveals, the Rainbow was given by God as a token of Christ’s “everlasting covenant” of Salvation with every living creature, that God would never again destroy the earth by a flood of waters.

“Whereby the world…is reserved unto fire against…ungodly men.”
2nd Peter 3:7
.
Of course, the Bible also reveals that the flood of Noah’s day was and is a fitting sign and precursor of the coming Day of fiery Judgment…“Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: is reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.” 2nd Peter 3:7
.
And so, considering this above prophecy by the God of Peter, it is more than just a little ironic that the gay community would ever want anything to do with the rainbow as their symbol, since it not only symbolizes the ever-lasting covenant of Salvation, but also points forward to, “fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.”
And let’s not forget that Sodom was destroyed by “fire & brimstone”, (which various YouTube videos reveal that you can still walk around that area and still find balls of brimstone, even today!)

“6”: THE NUMBER OF “MAN’S WORKS”
.
And even more interesting is, that Satan (working through unbelievers), has now reduced the gay community’s 8-color rainbow down to only six colors. In the Bible (and in nature), the number, 6, represents the number of man.
.
If we read Revelation chapter 13 we see that the mark of the beast is “the number of a man; and his number is 666”. Revelation 13:18
.

.
.
.
And so, just how does this man-contrived 6-color rainbow relate to 666?

“6” DAYS OF LABOR
.
Well, if we read the fourth commandment, we see the number 6 refers to the 6 days of labor. “Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work but the seventh day Sabbath of the Lord”.
.
Here is revealed that man is commanded by God to labor 6 days, before he is to rest upon the 7th-Day Sabbath. And truth-be-told, the 6 days of labor symbolizes mankind’s futile efforts to enter into God’s spiritual rest, represented by the 7th-day Sabbath. In other words, the 6 days of labor which we are to rest from are the labors of sin and unbelief…
.
“Come unto Me, all ye who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest…unto your souls” Matthew 11:28.
.
Here is the true meaning of “six days shall ye labor” spoken of in the 4th Commandment: the labor of sin and unbelief.
.

THE 6TH COMMANDMENT: “THOUGH SHALT NOT KILL”
Exodus 20:13
.
But also, the number 6 also refers to the 6th commandment which deals with murder: “Thou shalt not kill (murder)”. We are all guilty of murdering Jesus, “The Prince of Life”. Acts 3:15
.
And so, the 7-colored rainbow is a symbol of the Everlasting Covenant.
.
And yet, will society then steal that rainbow, the sign of God’s Everlasting Covenant, which He paid for with His own blood and with His own life? And then, make a mockery of that holy sign, misusing it for an emblem of society’s lust for sexual perversion & promiscuity?
.
Because, let’s face it, our sins resulted in the murder of the Son of God. And murder is what the 6th Commandment is all about!

666
.
So here are three sixes: The number 6 representing “man”, or, “mankind”.
.
But the number 6 also representing mankind’s “6 days of laboring in sin, without entering into God’s 7th-day Rest” found in the 4th commandment.
.
And lastly, the 6th Commandment concerning murder, which resulted from Mankind’s sins (including the sin of Sodom).
.
So, in essence, the 6-colored rainbow is a fitting representation of the mark of the beast: 666: man (Man’s number being “6”), and his godless works (the 6 days of laboring in sin, without entering into God’s 7th-day Rest), which ultimately leads to his own death (murder of Christ as well as self-murder, both of which are brought about by our sins) transgressing the 6th Commandment.

THE 7TH DAY REST UNTO YOUR SOULS
.
In contrast to this 666 rainbow, the true rainbow which God created, has seven colors. And of course, the Bible speaks of the 7th-day Sabbath. The 7th day is a day of rest…
“Come unto Me (Jesus), all ye that labour and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest.
Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me;
for I am meek and lowly in heart:
and ye shall find rest unto your souls.”
Matthew 11:28, 29

“For the wages of sin is death”
Romans 6:23
.
And so, God’s 7-color rainbow has to do with Sabbath rest, whereas the so-called “gay-pride rainbow” has to do with man and his vain works of which the wages of those vain human works of sin, is death, even as it is written…“For the wages of sin is death” Romans 6:23.
.
And God rewards our “works of the flesh” with the ultimate wages for our sins: death.
.
Like never before, mankind is engaging in murder, which God will render our wages for our dead works on Judgment Day!
.
For instance, just think about the millions of innocent little children ruthlessly slaughtered in the “safe-haven” of their mother’s womb, each year in abortion mills!
.
Do we think that God is just going to simply overlook this heinous atrocity committed against innocent little babies? And many in this land who pronounce themselves to be, “peace-loving, live-and-let-live, pacifists” willingly support, even celebrate abortion, which is nothing short of dirty rotten murder!

WHICH RAINBOW WILL YOU CHOOSE?
.
And so when you get right down to it, this true 7-color rainbow and this counterfeit 6-color rainbow each represent two entirely different kingdoms: the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Satan.
.
Therefore, the question which needs to be answered is this: “Just which rainbow will you choose? Which rainbow will you cling to?”
.
The 6-color rainbow representing lost and fallen mankind?
.
Or the true 7-color rainbow representing the rest we have in Heaven’s Jesus, “The Prince of Life” and mankind’s only hope for redemption? (see Acts 3:15)
.
(And don’t forget that now-defunct 8-color rainbow spoken of earlier, and how it actually represents that false 8-color rainbow’s true creator, “the god of this world”, Satan? (see 2nd Corinthians 4:4))
.
(Of course, the number “8” in the Bible symbolizes Satan, who is the true creator of the Gay-Pride Rainbow. Read, for instance, this website’s trilogy of articles on the number, “8”, beginning with, July 26th (Satan’s Number “8”))

BABYLON, “THE CITY OF CONFUSION”
Isaiah 24:10
.
The Bible refers to Babylon as “The City of Confusion”. And even though the apostate church-world has become a “city of confusion”, with all its many unbiblical doctrines and contentions, nevertheless, God refers to this whole world as “Babylon”!
.
And so, it’s not surprising that this babylonish world-system of confusion has decided to change their Gay-Rainbow to 9-colors, then to 10-colors, etc….
.
So confusing!
.
But mankind’s childish, changeable, and fickle ways, only make God’s 7-colored rainbow that much more glorious!
.
Yes, God’s unchanging character shines even more beautiful, when compared to the confused leaders who can’t make up their minds about how many colors to make their counterfeit rainbow! And Man’s ever-changing, fickle rainbow is a fitting symbol of this confused, Babylonish, antichrist, world-system!
.
.
.
.
Come Unto Me (Jesus) All Ye Who Are Weary And Heavy Ladened, And I Will Give You Rest…Unto Your Souls…”
Matthew 11:28
.
Well, if there’s any good news here (and there’s actually a whole lot of Good News here!), it is that God’s 7-color rainbow is still appearing up there in the sky on rain-on-sunny-days, and is a type of peace symbol from God, offering Salvation through Jesus Christ, to all mankind! In other words, God is inviting all those who are weary and heavy-laden to enter into His everlasting rest.
.
And that is why you need to choose and cling to the true 7-color rainbow over the other spurious, fake-rainbows! Because only God’s true 7-color rainbow holds out any actual hope for lost souls!

THE RAINBOW A SYMBOL OF CHRIST’S EVERLASTING ATONEMENT
.
And so, the gay community has indeed made a significant statement with their man-contrived 6-8-9-10-11-color rainbow flag.
.
Because God is a lover of souls, and he would love nothing more than for each and every lost soul of the human race turn back to Him and turn and repent from our rebellion against Heaven. This is what the true 7-color rainbow is all about: the “Everlasting Covenant of Salvation” through Christ’s shed blood on the Cross.
.
.
.
.
.
.
THE MEANING OF THE 7-COLOR RAINBOW
.
Now one last comment. Just as the gay community has assigned different meanings for each color of their so-called 6-color rainbow, God likewise had long-ago assigned the true meaning to the seven colors of the true rainbow:
.
1: The color red symbolizes Christ’s soul-saving blood…
.
2: The orange symbolizes the fiery Holy Spirit of Christ which will live in and abide in all those who turn from their sins to follow Jesus…
.
3: The yellow stands for Christ, “The Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings”. (see Malachi 4:2)
.
4: The green stands for the contentment of life which that “Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings” gives to all those who forsake our ungodly ways…
.
5: And the blue stands for the “Prince-of-Peace” (Isaiah 9:6), who longs to give us “the peace which surpasses all understanding” (Philippians 4:7)…
.
6: The indigo stands for wisdom of the Bible (which, btw, has been omitted from the gay-pride, 6-color rainbow)…
.
7: Finally, the purple stands for Christ’s kingly royalty, as the Bible refers to. Yes, Jesus was and is royalty: He is “King of Salem, which is, King of peace;” (Hebrews 4:7), and is our Royal High Priest and He has elected his followers to become a generation of royal (kingly) priests. (see 1st Peter 2:9)
.
INVISIBLE HUES? And if there is an invisible hue in God’s rainbow, it can be summed up like this…“And without controversy, great is the mystery of godliness” 1st Timothy 3:16

“God Shall Wipe Away Every Tear”
.
Yes, all sinful/selfish lifestyles of this world will only ultimately bring anger, sorrow, hate, unrest, sickness, suffering, suicidal-thoughts, and ultimately eternal-death!
.
Nevertheless, the Heavenly City of Zion which awaits us is a goodly land in which, “God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.” Revelation 21:4
.
And in that joyous land, we will live forever, forever happy, and forever young!

ORION GETS THE VICTORY
.
.
.
Now if you will stay up all night, you will see that the tables turn very dramatically for our three warriors.
.
This is because, as night progresses, and this constellation group moves to the west, God has designed this threesome to now be in the opposite circumstance. Now it is Orion and his Horse who are atop the Dragon. Now Orion is about to cut off the Dragon’s head with his two-edged sword, while the Horse is stomping on his tail. And of course, there needs to be no explanation, because this picture tells the whole story. Jesus wins in the end! God’s people are victorious at last! No wonder the Bible calls this story…“The Good News”!
