My dearly beloved in Christ, God is showing us that the rainbow which appeared in the clouds is a sign of the covenant between God and man.

Ezekiel 1:28 says - Like the appearance of a rainbow in a cloud on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the brightness all around it. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. So when I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard a voice of One speaking.

Our God the Father sends his word into us. That word is only God’s glory which is Jesus Christ who dwells within us full of grace and truth. When Christ is glorified in God’s every word, through Jesus Christ the sinful nature in us is changed and he makes a new covenant through his blood within us.

This is done by God through his only begotten Son Jesus Christ.

Matthew 26: 24 – 30 says - The Son of Man indeed goes just as it is written of Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born.”

Then Judas, who was betraying Him, answered and said, “Rabbi, is it I?”

He said to him, “You have said it.”

And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, “Take, eat; this is My body.”

Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you.

For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father’s kingdom.”

And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

This is what God spoke to Noah regarding the sign of the covenant. Also, in (vision in Patmos island)

Revelation 4: 1 – 5 says - After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, “Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.”

Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne set in heaven, and One sat on the throne.

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.

Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white robes; and they had crowns of gold on their heads.

And from the throne proceeded lightnings, thunderings, and voices. Seven lamps of fire were burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.

This is because, in Luke 1: 31 – 35 - And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son and shall call His name Jesus.

He will be great and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David.

And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.”

Then Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I do not know a man?”

And the angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God.

That is why in John 1: 11 – 13 - He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.

But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:

who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

What do we understand from this? Our Lord Jesus Christ was born by the word of the Father. God is a spirit. That is why, the virgin Mary said I know not a man.

Therefore, the angel of God said - “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God. (He is Christ)

Let us all pray for this blessing. May the Lord God bless you all.
