In the story of Noah and the flood, a symbol of hope appears in the sky after the rain stops. This symbol has since been a universal sign of hope and promise. What is this symbol?

Correct Answer

C) A rainbow

After the flood, as described in the Book of Genesis, God placed a rainbow in the sky as a sign of His covenant with Noah and all living creatures. The rainbow served as a promise that the earth would never again be destroyed by a flood. This symbol of a rainbow has since been widely recognized as a sign of hope and God's faithfulness to His promises.

In Genesis 9:13-16, God says, "I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth... Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth." This passage reflects the enduring hope we have in God's promises and His unwavering commitment to humanity.
