8And God said to Noe and to the sons of him with him saying:
9“Behold I Myself set the covenant of Me to you and to the seed of you after you 10and to every living psyche with you from birds and from cattle and to all the beasts of the earth, whatsoever is with you, from all of the ones coming out of the ark. 11And I will set the covenant of Me to you, and all flesh shall not still die from the flood of water, and there will not still be flood of water to destroy the whole earth.”
12And the Lord God said to Noe:
“This is the sign of the covenant, which I Myself give between Me and you and between every psyche of life, which is with you, into everlasting generations: 13I set the bow of Me in the cloud, and it will be into a sign of the covenant between Me and the earth. 14And it will be in the time for Me to bring clouds on the earth the bow of Me will be seen in the cloud, 15and I will remember the covenant of Me, which is between Me and you and between every living psyche in all flesh, and the water will not still be into flood so as to blot out all flesh. 16And the bow of Me will be in the cloud, and I will see to remember the everlasting covenant between Me and between every living psyche in all flesh, which is on the earth.” (Genesis 9:8-16)
The bow is the rainbow (mostly used in the versions of the Holy Bible).

I heard of the scientific explanation and I thought that was all about it. I didn't know that it's God who placed it there and that it serves as a reminder not to destroy again with flood. This is a general information which should change the belief that at the end of the rainbow we'll find a pot of gold, a fantasy which can never be attained.

Thank you for sharing this with us. It is good that people understand this, instead of the fantasy of the golden pot at the end of a rainbow. If the bible says it, it is the truth. Blessings
