What does the Bible say about the rainbow and God's covenant?

Answered in 2 sources

The rainbow is a sign of God's covenant with Noah, reminding humanity of His promise never to destroy the earth by a flood again (Genesis 9:11-16).

The rainbow is introduced in Genesis 9:11-16 as a symbol of the covenant God made with Noah following the flood. It serves as a perpetual reminder of God's mercy and His promise to never again destroy the earth with water. This covenant represents not just the cessation of judgment but also God's faithful dealings with humanity post-flood. Consequently, the rainbow has transcended its natural phenomenon status, symbolizing God’s faithfulness and His eternal love towards His creation, intended to remind us of the peace we have through His grace.
