How does the rainbow represent Christ joining heaven and earth?

Answered in 1 source

The rainbow symbolizes the connection between God's mercy in heaven and humanity on earth, just as Christ mediates between God and man (1 Timothy 2:5).

In the same way that the rainbow arches from the earth into the sky, symbolizing a bridge between heaven and earth, Christ serves as the ultimate mediator connecting mankind with the holy God. The rainbow's physical form, with its base on earth and arc reaching towards heaven, reflects how Christ, who was both God and man, spans the great chasm created by sin. 1 Timothy 2:5 asserts that there is one mediator between God and men, Christ Jesus, underscoring His crucial role in reconciling sinners to their Creator. This powerful imagery encourages believers to remember that the connection to God is made possible only through Christ's work.
