Bible Question: Please Explain the colours of the rainbow,and their purpose

Bible Answer: Greetings Gloryto1,

The "rainbow" is mentioned or referred to in the following places in the Bible:

Genesis 9:13-15 "I set My bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a sign of a covenant between Me and the earth. It shall come about, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow will be seen in the cloud, and I will remember My covenant, which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and never again shall the water become a flood to destroy all flesh."

Ezekiel 1:28 "As the appearance of the rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the surrounding radiance. Such was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell on my face and heard a voice speaking."

Revelation 4:3 "And He who was sitting was like a jasper stone and a sardius in appearance; and there was a rainbow around the throne, like an emerald in appearance."

Revelation 10:1 "I saw another strong angel coming down out of heaven, clothed with a cloud; and the rainbow was upon his head, and his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire;"

I apologize, but nowhere in Scripture do I find any verse that specifies the significance or purpose of each visible "colour" of the rainbow, although we know that each colour is caused by the reflection and refraction of the rays of the sun shining on the falling rain. Anyone who has ever seen a rainbow is a witness to God's divine faithfulness.

Blessings to you,
