I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. -God

Our Daily Bread reminded me of the promise God gave us after he flooded the earth to destroy the evil that had taken it over. In the devotional I was told something I never before. “In reality, there’s no end to a rainbow. A rainbow is a full circle …”

As I meditated on the thirteenth verse (above) found in Genesis 9, I considered the seven colors it proudly displays. The top color, the largest, is red and represents passion, vitality, love, warmth, and life. As our eyes follow the colors down we see orange which represents creativity, joy, warmth, and the sun. Yellow represents happiness, cheer, knowledge, and wisdom. Green represents growth, renewal, harmony, nature, and the environment. Blue represents calmness, serenity, trust, loyalty, stability, the sky, and the sea. Indigo represents awareness, intuition, spirituality, mystery, and depth. Violet represents imagination, creativity, spirituality, and royalty.

It should come as no surprise that the rainbow, the circle, has no beginning or ending. It is always. Forever. Eternal. It consists of seven colors, the number that represents completeness, wholeness, perfection. It represents God. The lesser number, six (666), is the number associated with the devil. We see flags and banners flying everywhere these days consisting of six colors and the meanings are a variation of the ones found in God’s rainbow. The missing color is indigo, which represents spirituality.
