2 – MAN CAN NOT DESTROY IT Mark it down. When God promises, He will keep His word. Man can not foil the promise of God. Esther 4:14a – For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place.

5 – NOBODY HAS SEEN A COMPLETE RAINBOW 1 Corinthians 2:9 But as it is written: "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.“ 1 Kings 10:7a However I did not believe the words until I came and saw with my own eyes; and indeed the half was not told me.

5 – NOBODY HAS SEEN A COMPLETE RAINBOW Revelation 4:3 And He who sat there was like a jasper and a sardius stone in appearance; and there was a rainbow around the throne, in appearance like an emerald. A total, complete rainbow would be a complete circle. In heaven, around the throne of God, there will be complete rainbow.

WHEN YOU SEE A RAINBOW Remember why it is there. Remember that God keeps His promises. Remember that the rainbow is the sign of the covenant with God. ARE YOU IN COVENANT WITH GOD?
