“What is the glory of God? It is who God is. It is the essence of His nature; the weight of His importance; the radiance of His splendor; the demonstration of His power; the atmosphere of His presence.”
– Rick Warren, The Purpose Driven Life (2002)
The radiance of the rainbow is the reflection of God’s glory.
Ezekiel, prophet and priest of ancient Israel, was blessed to have visions of God.
Ezekiel 1:26-28 Above the vault over their heads was what looked like a throne of lapis lazuli, and high above on the throne was a figure like that of a man. I saw that from what appeared to be his waist up he looked like glowing metal, as if full of fire, and that from there down he looked like fire; and brilliant light surrounded him. Like the appearance of a rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the radiance around him. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. When I saw it, I fell facedown, and I heard the voice of one speaking.
The rainbow, created by God as a reminder to never flood earth again, has forever shone the radiance of God’s glory. As our eternal Lord sits upon His heavenly throne, His radiance, the appearance of the rainbow, surrounds Him.
God’s perfect essence shines through His holy rainbow; the rainbow belongs to God. The rainbow is not for man to associate imperfect pride.
ARE YOU A FOLLOWER OF JESUS?
Have you invited Jesus into your heart? Now is the perfect time. Pray this sinner’s prayer found at Gotquestions.com.
“God, I know that I am a sinner. I know that I deserve the consequences of my sin. However, I am trusting in Jesus Christ as my Savior. I believe that His death and resurrection provided for my forgiveness. I trust in Jesus and Jesus alone as my personal Lord and Savior. Thank you Lord, for saving me and forgiving me! Amen.”
Blessings to you as you receive redemption through Jesus.

Lift Him Up 
I’ve for several years “laughed” at the thought and “irony” of the homosexual agenda being surrounded with the rainbow because of why the earth was flooded in the first place. For them to “mock” it by using it is at the very least cringe worthy. What a surprise it will be for any of them when they stand before the judgement seat and every time they have used the rainbow for that agenda there will be a “mark” against them. There might even be a Book Of Record for just that one offense. They don’t want their name to be in that book, if there is one.

I hope any who misuse God’s rainbow for unGodly purposes will one day “see the light” before they stand before God. Because of Pride month, Christians are forced to witness the misuse, even getting attacked if they do not agree. So we pray for change. However, Psalm 130:1-4 is never out of my mind… “Out of the depths I cry to you, LORD; Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to my cry for mercy. If you, LORD, kept a record of sins, Lord, who could stand? But with you there is forgiveness, so that we can, with reverence, serve you.” I too, must remember daily, to ask forgiveness for my sin, and may God grant me His mercy.

I saw a button in an Ace Hardware store last week that said, ” Jesus had two dads and He turned out ok.” I informed a manger how blasphemous that is and how dangerous having something like that in the store is. I let her know God may not do anything about it, but that it should be removed on a better safe than sorry premise. She may not have known it was in the store, but she does now and has the responsibility to do something about it. Whether I was right or wrong in saying something, I’m open to everyone’s opinion. That said, I can’t change what I said now, right? 😜

I thank you for bringing that to her attention. You are right, she may not have known it was there. Now it’s up to her.
