Lord, how 4 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,520 Speaker 1: can the words of my mouth be anything but praise 5 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:22,759 Speaker 1: when you have redeemed me from my former darkness? The 6 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 1: joy of my salvation is my strength, and my greatest 7 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 1: desire is to be pleasing in your sight. Sanctify my 8 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,959 Speaker 1: words and thoughts from any presumptuous sins that might arise 9 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:39,879 Speaker 1: and lead me away from your truth.

We're going 37 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 4: to be talking about God's revelation of his beauty Cynthia 38 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,800 Speaker 4: Marjorie through color, and specifically today we're going to be 39 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,639 Speaker 4: focusing on the rainbow. 40 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 5: I love it. 41 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 6: I believe that each of us are going to receive 42 00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:00,959 Speaker 6: a special anointing from the message because it's powerful and 43 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 6: even as I've talked to some people who have been 44 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 6: in depression come out of depression. They've told me that 45 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 6: in depression, life is black and white. Coming out of depression, 46 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,399 Speaker 6: all of a sudden, they can see color, they can 47 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:17,799 Speaker 6: experience color. So is significant message to all of this. 48 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 3: Amen, that's such a good word. 49 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 4: I've experienced that in my own life when the Lord 50 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 4: saved me forty years ago. It's like I was seeing 51 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:25,920 Speaker 4: color again like I did as a child. 52 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 3: And you know, when we see the rainbow in. 53 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,919 Speaker 4: The sky, you know what that tells us that God 54 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 4: loves us and he's merciful towards us, that he cares 55 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 4: and feels. 56 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 3: And we're going to explore that in the Word of God. 57 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 3: You know, even in. 58 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 4: Creation, we see the colors of beautiful birds, the colors 59 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 4: of beautiful flowers, and all the different demonstrations of God's 60 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 4: beauty through color. 61 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 3: Without color, there would be no beauty. 62 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 4: And so today we're going to be focusing on God's 63 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 4: beauty manifest to his creation through color, and specifically will 64 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 4: highlight the rainbow. In nineteen eighty two, I had a 65 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 4: very unusual experience that sticks with me so powerfully even 66 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 4: to this day. It was a vision of the night 67 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,479 Speaker 4: and In this vision of the night, I found myself 68 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 4: in an attic of a home. 69 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:21,799 Speaker 3: It was dark. In the attic. 70 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,679 Speaker 4: There was a window on one side and a window 71 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 4: on the other. And from the window on this side 72 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 4: streamed into this dark attic a spirit of life, a 73 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 4: living spirit of life, composed of all the colors. 74 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 3: Of a rainbow. 75 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,359 Speaker 4: I approached the spirit of life, and I went to 76 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 4: the window from which it had come into the room from. 77 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 3: I stuck my head out the window, and everywhere all 78 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 3: I saw was color. 79 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 4: And I opened my arms, beloved ones, and I said 80 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 4: to this spirit of color and life, come and live 81 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 4: inside me. And then suddenly I heard the word eternity 82 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:08,039 Speaker 4: hit me in the center of my being. Rainbows and 83 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 4: color are very much a part of the visible manifestation 84 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 4: of the glory of God. For example, in the book 85 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,359 Speaker 4: of Ezekiel, when Ezekiel saw the Lord, this is what 86 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 4: he said in Ezekiel one twenty eight. He was like 87 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 4: the appearance of a rainbow in the clouds on a 88 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:31,479 Speaker 4: rainy day. So was the appearance around him. This was 89 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 4: the appearance of the likeness. 90 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 3: Get this now, of the glory of the Lord. God 91 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 3: made the rainbow. 92 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 4: And it's a manifestation of His glory and beauty. I 93 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 4: want to take some time on today's broadcast to talk 94 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,719 Speaker 4: about the rainbow because you might have noticed on the 95 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,919 Speaker 4: new open to my show I incorporate rate the rainbow, 96 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,159 Speaker 4: and you'll see later as the camera continues to pan 97 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 4: the set the rainbow that we've added to the backdrop 98 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 4: of Israel. 99 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 3: God made the rainbow. 100 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 4: It manifest beloved ones, his glory and his beauty. Now, 101 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 4: before we get into some of the biblical text, let's 102 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 4: just look at the rainbow from a bit. 103 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:25,839 Speaker 3: Of a scientific perspective. What is a rainbow. The first 104 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 3: thing that we should state is all the. 105 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 4: Colors of the rainbow are contained in white light. What 106 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 4: happens is is that as the light from the sun 107 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 4: hits the rain droplets or the water droplets, the water 108 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 4: droplets in the rain act as a prism that divides 109 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:54,359 Speaker 4: the white light into the seven colors of a rainbow. 110 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:58,600 Speaker 4: To say it another way, rain droplets act as prisms 111 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 4: that divide white light into the rainbow spectrum. Now, it's 112 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 4: interesting that all colors are in white light, and when 113 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 4: we think of the light of God's glory, we think 114 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 4: of him as what shining white light. This gives us 115 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 4: a sense of how beautiful God is. 116 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 7: Think about what the earth would look like without color, 117 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 7: It would be lifeless, right, So the rainbow and colors 118 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 7: come from God. 119 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 4: He's the one that made it. It's interesting also that 120 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 4: there are seven colors in the rainbow. 121 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 3: Most of you know what the colors of. 122 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 4: The rainbow are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. 123 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 3: Seven colors in the rainbow. 124 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 4: And in a second, we're going to talk about the 125 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 4: fact that seven is so much of what we see 126 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 4: in scripture in terms of God showing how holy of 127 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 4: a number seven is. We're going to talk about the 128 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 4: seven day creation narrative and some of the other sevens 129 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 4: in the scripture. Seven colors in the rainbow. And of 130 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 4: those seven colors in the rainbow, three of them are 131 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 4: primary colors red, yellow. 132 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 3: And blue. 133 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 4: And so think now again of this number three we 134 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 4: see in scripture. 135 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 3: That number three, which. 136 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 4: Is the Hebrew word shalosh, it also means completeness, just 137 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 4: like seven carries the idea of completeness. 138 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,839 Speaker 3: And we're going to in a second take a look 139 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,439 Speaker 3: at some of the threes that we see in the Bible. 140 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 4: So just wanted to point out once again, the rainbow 141 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 4: comes from white light. It goes through the prism of 142 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 4: the raindrop, which divides the white light that consist of 143 00:08:55,400 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 4: different wavelengths into different colors. The white light hits the raindrop, 144 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 4: The raindrop then bends the wavelengths of the white light, 145 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 4: and we get then a manifestation of the different colors 146 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 4: of the rainbow. Seven colors, three of them are primary. 147 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:21,080 Speaker 4: Think about this once again. Seven days in Creation, Noah, 148 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 4: as he was getting ready to board the arc before 149 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 4: the flood, he was instructed to. 150 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 3: Bring in seven sets. 151 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 4: Of every clean type of animal in the Holy Temple 152 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 4: and the Tabernacle. The Lord instructed that there was to 153 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 4: be a minora there that had seven candlesticks burning from it. 154 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 4: We read in the Book of Revelation. 155 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 3: That before the throne of the. 156 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:55,479 Speaker 4: Lord, in Revelation one four, there are the seven spirits 157 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 4: of God. 158 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 3: Why are we saying this seven colors in the rainbow. 159 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 4: In the Book of Revelation we see the number seven 160 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 4: used over and over again. For example, there's seven churches 161 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:11,680 Speaker 4: in the Book of Revelation. The issue addresses seven seals, 162 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 4: seven bowls of wrath, seven trumpets, and the feast of Tabernacles, 163 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 4: that great feast which every nation in the world will 164 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 4: participate in during the millennial period, is made up of 165 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 4: seven days. The Feast of Zakota Tabernacles is a seven 166 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 4: day feast with an extra eighth day of celebration. But 167 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 4: that eighth day is not actually part of the Feast 168 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 4: of Tabernacles. 169 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 3: It's an extra day added on. So we have seven. 170 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 3: We see this through all of God's creation. We see 171 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:46,319 Speaker 3: it in scripture. 172 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 4: And then we have what we said were the three 173 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 4: primary colors of the rainbow. And I want us to 174 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:57,679 Speaker 4: consider for a second this number three in God's word. So, 175 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:02,319 Speaker 4: for example, we find that the Temple, which was patterned 176 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:06,959 Speaker 4: after the Tabernacle, had three different sections. It had the 177 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:13,559 Speaker 4: outer court, the Holy Place, and then the Holy of Holies. 178 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 4: And then we think of the patriarchs of the Hebrew Bible. 179 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:25,440 Speaker 4: How many patriarchs are there? There's three, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. 180 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:27,479 Speaker 3: And when we get. 181 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 4: Immersed or baptized in the name of Yeshia or Jesus, 182 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 4: what are we baptized into? We're baptized into what the 183 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 4: name of the Father, the Son, and the Ruaja Kadesh 184 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 4: or the Holy Spirit were baptized in to all three. Finally, 185 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:52,560 Speaker 4: Yashua rose from the dead on the third day. So 186 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 4: I just find it really exciting and fascinating to see 187 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,559 Speaker 4: these same numbers that are incorporated in scripture into the 188 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 4: rainbow seven colors, with three of them being primary. 189 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 5: One of the things I love about our evangelistic outreaches 190 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 5: is the way that Rabbi asks for people to come 191 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:25,440 Speaker 5: to salvation. 192 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,080 Speaker 4: How many of you want to make up your mind 193 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 4: tonight for the first time. 194 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:32,959 Speaker 3: Give your life to God. 195 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 8: Jesus. 196 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:39,080 Speaker 5: Every time you see all these people raise their hands 197 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 5: to get saved, these are not people just rededicating their 198 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:45,319 Speaker 5: lives to the Lord. 199 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 4: If you've never invited Jesus into your heart, he wants 200 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 4: to come inside. 201 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,959 Speaker 3: You on the back of deal mission. 202 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 4: If you've never invited him in to want to do 203 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,079 Speaker 4: that tonight, I want you to raise your hand. 204 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 5: One of the things I love is that when Rabbi 205 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 5: does these altar calls, he's very clear. 206 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 3: He says, if you have. 207 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 5: Never ever accepted the Lord and you want to do 208 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 5: that today, I want you to raise your hand. 209 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 3: If you'd like to do that and you've never done 210 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 3: that before, would. 211 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 5: You raise your hand because of these festivals, thousands and 212 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 5: thousands have come to faith in Jesus for the very 213 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 5: first time. It's really an amazing thing to see, and 214 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 5: I really want to thank you all of you who 215 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 5: are viewing, Discovering the Jewish Jesus, praying for and even giving. 216 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 5: Thank you guys for being a part of it. You're 217 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,679 Speaker 5: making a difference in the world by supporting us in 218 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 5: so many ways. We love you and we hope that 219 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 5: you're being blessed by the ministry of Discovering the Jewish Jesus. 220 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 4: God made the rainbow and it's a manifestation of His. 221 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 3: Glory and beauty. 222 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 4: God's people are afraid to be associated with the rainbow. Rainbow. 223 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 4: The rainbow reminds us that we can trust the promises 224 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 4: of God. Of God, we as God's people, need to 225 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 4: rise up and take the rainbow back. I want to 226 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 4: go back to our primary text for the day. It's 227 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 4: Bearshetra Genesis, chapter number nine, and we're going to read 228 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 4: there verse thirteen through verse number seventeen. Hear the word 229 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 4: of God, the Lord is speaking. I have set my 230 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 4: rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign 231 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 4: of the covenant between me and the earth. Whenever I 232 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 4: bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in 233 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 4: the clouds, I will remember my covenant between me and 234 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 4: you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again 235 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 4: will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. 236 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 4: Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see 237 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 4: it and remember the ever lasting covenant between God and 238 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 4: all living. 239 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 3: Creatures of every kind in the earth. 240 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 4: And God said to Noah, this is the sign of 241 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 4: the covenant which I have established between me and all 242 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 4: flesh on the earth. What I'd like to do now, 243 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 4: beloved ones, is to consider with you some of the 244 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 4: concepts that the Holy Spirit is communicating to us involving 245 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 4: what the rainbow should mean to God's people. First of all, 246 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 4: the rainbow reminds us that we can trust the promises 247 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 4: of God. The rainbow was a sign that whenever we 248 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 4: see it, we can remember that we can trust God 249 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 4: that he will do what he said he's going to do. 250 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 4: That's why it's so important for us to know God's 251 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 4: word and to know what his promises are, because we 252 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 4: incorporate into our life the fullness of Messiah his substance 253 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 4: by having faith in his promises. 254 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 3: We inherit the Kingdom through faith in his promises. 255 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 4: So the rainbow reminds us, beloved, that we need to 256 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 4: trust and say amen to every promise that God has 257 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 4: given his people. From Messiah Yeshiah, quote the word over 258 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,359 Speaker 4: the word of God over your life. Speak God's promises 259 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 4: over your life. Take a hold of them, seize them 260 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:13,920 Speaker 4: by faith. The rainbow reminds us to do this. Secondly, 261 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:19,920 Speaker 4: and I love this, The rainbow reminds us of new beginnings. 262 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 4: Remember the earth had just gotten destroyed by the flood, 263 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 4: but the flood subsided and a rainbow appeared in the sky. 264 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,920 Speaker 3: And what that communicated to Noah. 265 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:37,359 Speaker 4: And his family is that it was a time of 266 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,360 Speaker 4: new beginnings. 267 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 3: The storm had passed. So I want you to be 268 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:44,879 Speaker 3: encouraged at. 269 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 4: The same God that put the rainbow in the sky, 270 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:52,200 Speaker 4: for Noah is still putting his rainbows in the sky 271 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 4: for you and I his people today. To remember that 272 00:17:55,920 --> 00:18:00,639 Speaker 4: when we go through hard times, those hard times will 273 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 4: not last forever, that there's going to be a new beginning, 274 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 4: that you're coming out into something brand new. God is 275 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,439 Speaker 4: always a god of new beginnings. And the rainbow that 276 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 4: appeared after the storm should remind us all that Satan 277 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 4: will never have the last laugh. God is sitting on 278 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 4: his throne. He's happy and laughing. He's got a great 279 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 4: purpose for you and I. There's always new beginnings of him. 280 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:34,919 Speaker 4: In fact, we've become as individuals, even new creations. The 281 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 4: rainbow reminds us also in connection with this, that something 282 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 4: good is going to follow something bad in your life. 283 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:45,920 Speaker 3: You see, our lives are. 284 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 4: Cycles where the Lord brings us through challenges and trials 285 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:52,720 Speaker 4: so that we can learn to cling to Him by 286 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:57,160 Speaker 4: faith when we're going through hard times. But those trials, 287 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,640 Speaker 4: that challenge, beloved one that you might be going through 288 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:02,360 Speaker 4: right now, it's going to end. 289 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 3: And when it ends, God. 290 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 4: Has something good for you that will follow the challenge 291 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,119 Speaker 4: that you might be going through right now. Remember, something 292 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:17,479 Speaker 4: good is coming, you see. The rainbow is a sign 293 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 4: of hope. It's a sign that no matter what happens 294 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 4: on the earth now, I just saw the world destroyed 295 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 4: by a flood. He saw all life wiped off the 296 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 4: face of the earth except those animals that he had 297 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:31,160 Speaker 4: in the ark. 298 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 3: But you know what, the rainbow appeared in the sky. 299 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,160 Speaker 3: God spoke, He said he would never destroy the world. 300 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,399 Speaker 4: By a flood again, and he had something brand new 301 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,959 Speaker 4: that he was doing. Something good fouled the storm. So 302 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,919 Speaker 4: I want you to remember and have faith that the 303 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,879 Speaker 4: trial that you might be going through right now, or 304 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 4: that you're going to face sometime in the future, it 305 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:59,120 Speaker 4: will not last forever. Weeping might come in the night, 306 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 4: but joy comes in the morning. The rainbow reminds us 307 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:08,680 Speaker 4: that something good will always come after a hard season. 308 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 4: Another unique concept that I'd like you to consider with 309 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 4: me concerning the rainbow. 310 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 3: It's a symbol of innocence. 311 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,639 Speaker 4: I remember going over my little granddaughter's house about a 312 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,919 Speaker 4: year ago, and she was out on her driveway and 313 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 4: she had those you know the chalk that kids use, 314 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,920 Speaker 4: you know, the different colored chalk that you can paint 315 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 4: on your driveway with, And she was painting with that 316 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:41,120 Speaker 4: chalk on her driveway a rainbow. Kids children by nature, 317 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:48,679 Speaker 4: love rainbows. Rainbows connect us to innocence. You see, the 318 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,680 Speaker 4: rainbow appeared in the sky in the Book of Bear 319 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:57,440 Speaker 4: Sheet in the Book of Genesis. After God had cleansed 320 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 4: the earth of evil again, why did the flood come? 321 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 4: Because the world had become so corrupt, it was so evil, 322 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:09,159 Speaker 4: God said, every thought of man's heart was continually evil, 323 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 4: so that God grieved that he had made man. He 324 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:15,119 Speaker 4: had to cleanse the earth of all that evil. After 325 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:19,719 Speaker 4: he cleansed the earth of evil, the rainbow appeared. Rainbow's 326 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 4: beloved for the children of God is a sign and 327 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 4: a symbol of innocence. And all of us should be 328 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 4: in prayer that the Holy Spirit would cleanse us of 329 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:34,640 Speaker 4: every blemish and of all evil, that we could. 330 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 3: Become as innocent as children. 331 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 4: Because you show us at unless we become like children, 332 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:46,359 Speaker 4: we shall by no means enter the Kingdom of God. 333 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 4: The Lord promised to deliver us from evil even if 334 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 4: he cleansed the earth of evil, and then the rainbow 335 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 4: appeared in the sky.
