This is not a rainbow. (iris) What is it?
Scripture identifies arrows with "bitter words."
Psalm 64:3
Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:So the bow is something that sends them on their way. It could be accomplished by preaching, publishing, media, etc. It may represent the power to control what is taught.

Hi Shine and Doug ,
good job Doug .
''bow in the cloud '' it is not the rainbow and many say so much but it is the ''sign'' of Gods Covenant with the earth
Gen 9:13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. Gen 9:14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
Gen 9:16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that [is] upon the earth.
Eze 1:28 As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so [was] the appearance of the brightness round about. This [was] the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw [it], I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake.
token meanings are sign , or rememberance , warning , omen , miracle , proof , standard .
the rain is the word from heaven the Bow can be figurative of Gods might , archers , and in the original sense of bending
and the Cloud is a witness Root Word (Etymology)
Strong's H7198 - qesheth
From קָשָׁה (H7185) in the original sense of קוֺשׁ (H6983) of bending
it can be in a positive or in a negative sense I reckon
First seal, first trumpet and first bowl all correlate to Him as He
goes forth in battle against spiritual principalities in high places
The conclusions of all these thunders, judgements, hails
is the kingdoms of earth has become the kingdom of our Lord.
1st seal white horse rides..to conquer lies of the kingdom of
darkness
1st trumpet hail and fire mixed with blood. Hail is the hard
cold facts/truth of the water of life from heaven per spirit/fire of
God
1st Plague enters the house to destroy the robber and theif
spirits..ugly and painful sores break out on the people who have
the mark[understanding] of the beast...spiritual maladies
full of spots and blemishes. He judges the kingdom of darkness
[ You are just in your judgements] When He comes to judge
the earth the people learn righteousness.
He said by their fruit you will know them...robber and theif
spirits with the understanding of a beast show forth the plagues
that enter into the house of a liar and theif to destroy it
2nd seal..fiery red horse rides..plague of war comes upon
those with spiritual spots and sores..another of the curses that
enters into the house of the robber and theif. True peace and
joy is of the Holy spirit...secound trumpet ahuge mountain was
thrown into the sea.. Zecahariah 4;7 What are you O'mighty
mountain. Before Zerubbabel you will become level ground..
not by might nor by power, but by my spirit,says the Lord
Almighty. [God continues riding victorious over the Kingdom of
darkness]
the 2nd angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it turned
into blood like that of a dead man[Genesis 12;17 But the Lord
inflicted serious disease on Pharoah's house because of Abram's
wife Sarai.. [Genesis 20;3 but God came to Abimelech in a
dream one night and said to him,' YOU ARE AS GOOD AS DEAD
BECAUSE OF THE WOMAN YOU HAVE TAKEN;SHE IS A MARRIED
WOMAN]
All mankind are betrothed to Christ..it is against God that
Pharoah[prince of this world/darkness] has taken what belongs
to God into his possession.[Jesus bought all with His blood]
Just as no one knows but the Father that day or hour, so,too,
when the groom comes to take the bride it is at the Father's
command. He rides and works deliverance for His people
hi! ...the first Seal.. He was on a white horse and he went out conquering and to conquer.. first progressing (galloping) major element of the latter age.. He was victorious.. conquering other 'gods' and openly victorious over them.. a bow of war and wreath of victory. I think this First element of mankind's latter age is the gospel of our Lord and it continues to gallop throughout this age of the years of our Lord A.D.
In the same way, the Second major element of this age is war and it is given a large sword (some interpretations say given a long sword).. (war and weaponry also progresses/gallops) - then the 3rd element/seal-shortage,famine a by product of war.. and 4th element/seal, the grave, pestilence, including chemical and all mass graves.. 5th seal, martyrdom/murder, and cries like the blood of Abel crying to God.. 6th seal a new wind and bomb shelters which is held in check/paused for a time.. The seals are described as a blend of what they are when first opened/appear, and what they are when in full bloom and fully progressed at the 'end'. :smile:
