With <strong>the</strong> ra<strong>in</strong>bow be<strong>in</strong>g so scripturally tied to <strong>the</strong> presence of God, its radiance helps us perceive attributes<br />
of God. God can<strong>not</strong> be fully comprehended from earth, but <strong>the</strong> bow <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> clouds can help narrow <strong>the</strong> gap. Paul<br />
<strong>in</strong><strong>for</strong><strong>me</strong>d us <strong>in</strong> Romans 1:20 that we can perceive attributes of God from <strong>the</strong> creation. This special relation of<br />
ra<strong>in</strong>bows on earth and <strong>in</strong> heaven to <strong>the</strong> presence of God puts <strong>the</strong>m <strong>in</strong> position to help us understand <strong>the</strong><br />
magnificence and glory of God. We co<strong>me</strong> closer to realiz<strong>in</strong>g why God splashed beauty throughout His creation and<br />
designed a creature <strong>in</strong> His image that can appreciate that beauty. God created <strong>the</strong> potential <strong>for</strong> color <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
electromagnetic field, created many animals equipped to perceive <strong>the</strong> color, and created us with <strong>the</strong> capacity to<br />
appreciate its beauty. And He placed <strong>the</strong> ra<strong>in</strong>bow <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> cloud. The pathway to a<strong>the</strong>ism <strong>would</strong> be a little easier <strong>in</strong> a<br />
cosmos without ra<strong>in</strong>bows.<br />
A human fable imag<strong>in</strong>es a treasure at <strong>the</strong> end of <strong>the</strong> ra<strong>in</strong>bow. With Ezekiel’s and John’s visions of heaven,<br />
it is revealed that what we need to be seek<strong>in</strong>g resides at <strong>the</strong> center of <strong>the</strong> endless ra<strong>in</strong>bow. So when you reach<br />
that po<strong>in</strong>t <strong>in</strong> life where <strong>the</strong>re is no longer an opportunity to look at an earthly ra<strong>in</strong>bow, by <strong>the</strong> grace of God, you can<br />
step through <strong>the</strong> door to see a brilliant one encircl<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> throne. And <strong>the</strong>re too is God.<br />
Our Nation’s Godly Heritage<br />
In a book which I have quoted be<strong>for</strong>e, I share so<strong>me</strong> excerpts from ano<strong>the</strong>r<br />
section. This is from <strong>the</strong> chapter on Pr<strong>in</strong>ciple # 1 which is:<br />
“THE ONLY RELIABLE BASIS FOR SOUND GOVERNMENT AND JUST<br />
HUMAN RELATIONS IS NATURAL LAW.”<br />
“It may be surpris<strong>in</strong>g, even to A<strong>me</strong>ricans, to discover how much of <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
Constitution and <strong>the</strong>ir life style is based on pr<strong>in</strong>ciples of Natural Law. For<br />
example:<br />
The concept of “unalienable rights” is based on Natural Law. (we talked<br />
about unalienable rights last month)<br />
The concept of Unalienable Duties is based on Natural Law.<br />
The concept of Habeas Corpus is based on Natural Law.<br />
The concept of Limited Govern<strong>me</strong>nt is based on Natural Law.
