The Rainbow: Gods Promise

Learners learn about the importance of the rainbow as a symbol or humans relationship with God in the Bible.

Brief

Children will learn that - in the bible – as described in Genisis 9, God promises to never again destroy the Earth with a flood. He made this promise to himself, Noah and humanity. He placed a rainbow in the clouds to guarantee that waters will not become a flood again and destroy life.

Context

Rainbows are a symbol of hope and a reminder to all, including God, that the Earth shall never be destroyed again.  A wonder in nature when light from the sun reflects in the inner surface of a droplet. Depending on the angle of the sun, the suns colours separate and create a rainbow.
