Sign of the Covenant

Caught a glimpse of this sight while getting ready for work and took some quick shots to share with everyone.
Yael
The Noahic Covenant is God's promise to never send a flood again. The Rainbow is the sign of the covenant. All was well for Noah after the flood but new rules would now govern mankind.
The Noahic covenant is a covenant of love. God recognizes our shortcomings as a race. Because of a few who are righteous, God promises to keep the earth going in continuity from season to season and year to year. The rainbow reminds us of God's promise and His care. No matter how bad things get, God will never destroy us through a flood.

Lovely view, Yael. I tried a WS trying to emphasize the message. Regards, Daniel
Hello Yael,
This is indeed a sign of the Covenant, or is it a burning bush. It is an unusual rainbow, short, wide and very beautiful. It was fortuitous that you had your camera handy as you departed for work. If you get a chance, take a look at what I saw on my way to work (although, unhappily I was late to class, making my students wait).
Warm regards and Season's Greetings!
Bulent
Green smiley tomorrow.
