Recently our family reviewed Genesis 9 as part of our household worship . . . so I was intrigued by this link that I found recently:
Hiker Sees Double Rainbow
It’s supposed to be a “funny” video, and in one sense it is, because it seems like this hiker is way overreacting to the beauty of seeing a double rainbow. But . . . as I thought about it further, and I reflected on the hiker’s emotional question “What does this mean?”, I realized that this was Genesis 9 “coming to life.” Whether he knew it or not, this hiker was coming face to face with a sign from God—a promise that He would never again destroy the earth with a flood.
Once again, Romans 1:19-20 is fulfilled . . . even a “godless” hiker who seems simply overwhelmed with a beautiful moment in nature is actually getting a glimpse of God’s personal handiwork and intervention. May we be quick to share the meaning of the rainbow with our own household . . . and with anyone else who might ask “What does this mean?”
