Rainbow

[believercaptain of 100]

There was a great, big, gorgeous, beautiful, wide, double rainbow here in Provo late this afternoon. The Lord won't be coming this year.

Double rainbow??!

[believercaptain of 100]

Yes. Double.

Can we assume here that the year count start anew with every appearance of a rainbow anywhere in the world? That's to say that every day that there is a a rainbow anywhere on earth that the clock starts over again? IS the whole rainbow thing a word wide prophesy or just one of those American centric thing that those of us in Australia need not worry ourselves about?

If the upper atmosphere was filled with dust from a supervolcano eruption, a meteorite strike, or a large number of nuclear strikes, there would be no direct sunlight and therefore no rainbows.

I always wondered about that prophecy because as long as there's precipitation there's going to be rainbows. Even your sprinkler on the lawn shows a rainbow. So the only way I thought it could come true was lack of water. This is another alternative.

Local absence of rainbows might also explain it, such as a major drought, but I'm not sure it would be significant enough to be viewed as a fulfillment of prophecy. Something global would certainly draw attention, though.

Rainbows can be produced without water using glass for example with a prism.

I take it that if I see a rainbow, I have time to plant that season's crops and I will be able to harvest them.
I don't consider it good for a calendar year nor a 356 day year, only for the crop season.

I think that if you personally see a rainbow, it is a promise to you personally that you will have seed time and harvest.

You can refract light into individual colors using a prism. You can witness the full spectrum of colors in a moondog. God's Great Bow in the Sky is something completely different.

You know you are thinking in a flawed manner. The year may start tomorrow and not yesterday. So be careful. What you say my only mean last year the Lord did not come. It does not necessarily mean next year.

Example he may come in Dec 2012 even though you saw a rainbow in January 2012. The year the lord might come could start in April and go to the next April.

We saw a rainbow last week and I thought, "We will be able to plant and harvest this year. I just hope it is a better harvest than last year!"

[SmallFarmcaptain of 1,000]

Saw one today. Makes me happy because I've been busy planting lately.

It's good to be in touch with your emotions, but....too much of a good thing?

That is also my understanding of what I have read.

Saw a rainbow yesterday, Sunday the 3rd Feb, 2013. Chandler Arizona, looking North East, over 4 Peaks.
Getting ready to plant my garden next week.
