GOD sets his rainbow in the clouds since the days of Noah to remind us of his promise to not destroy the earth again by water (Genesis 9:13, 15). God also reminds us to take up the CROSS of JESUS every day because it is his promise of ETERNAL LIFE to be redeemed to HEAVEN on the LAST DAY before fire and brimstone destroys this earth (2 Peter 3:6-7) (Revelation 11:18, 16:17).
“This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will [REJOICE AND BE GLAD IN IT]” (Psalm 118:24).
After Noah and his family came out of the ark after the great
flood, God promised that the earth will not perish again by a great flood. God
declared to Noah:
“[I DO SET MY BOW IN THE CLOUD], and it shall be for a token
of a covenant between me and the earth. And I will remember my covenant, which
is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters
shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh” (Genesis 9:13, 15).
“[WHEREBY THE WORLD THAT THEN WAS, BEING OVERFLOWED WITH
WATER, PERISHED]: But [THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH, WHICH ARE NOW], by the same
word are kept in store, [RESERVED UNTO FIRE AGAINST THE DAY OF JUDGMENT] and
perdition of ungodly men” (2 Peter 3:6-7).
“[FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN
SON, THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING
LIFE]. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that
the world through him might be saved” (John 3:16-17).
“[FOR THE PREACHING OF THE CROSS] is to them that perish
foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the [POWER OF GOD]” (1
Corinthians 1:19).
“[THE LORD IS NOT SLACK CONCERNING HIS PROMISE], as some men
count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should
perish, but that all should come to repentance.
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in
the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements
shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein
shall be burned up.
Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what
manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens
being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent
heat?” (2 Peter 3:9-12).
“Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for [NEW
HEAVENS AND A NEW EARTH], wherein dwelleth righteousness. Wherefore, beloved,
seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in
peace, without spot, and blameless” (2 Peter 3:13-14).
“The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen”
(Philippians 4:23).
