It means that sunlight is shining through water vapor, or droplets, in the air. It is a natural phenomanom and nothing more. There really is not higher meaning. Just there is no higher meaning in lightning or thunder or wind.

Stealthy, you nailed it. A rainbow is the result of light being defracted by water vapor, which splits it into different wavelengths. If natural events are the result of supernatural intervention because the deity or a deity is sending some kind of message, the logical extension is that people who are drowned in a flood or buried in an earthquake deserved it. No way.

Full of trials, problems, fall down, dismay, sorrow, defeat, and so on, but in the end, the true colors which are bright shall find its way in no matter what.

Re 10:1 And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:
