![]() ![]() So Jesus is our cornerstone, though our personal arc and journey may be different, perhaps due to our different jobs, Romans 12:6-8: So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God’s household, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone In the church, we all come from the same base, Ephesians 2:19-20: Each set of raindrops produces slightly deformed rainbows, which give us the twinned form. The twinning effect occurs when two rain showers of different sized raindrops combine. Next on our list, is the very rare twinned rainbow: We need to be open to God changing our direction to fit his needs. ![]() But three times in this passage, not because of anything he did wrong, but because God needed him somewhere, we saw God change Philip’s direction. Talk about a major change of direction that last time. As they went along the road they came to some water and the eunuch said, “Look! Water! What prevents me from being baptized?” And he ordered the chariot to stop and they both went down into the water, Philip as well as the eunuch, and he baptized him. When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away Then the Spirit said to Philip, “ Go up and join this chariot.” Philip ran up and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, “Do you understand what you are reading?”And he said, “Well, how could I, unless someone guides me?” And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him. . So, when they had solemnly testified and spoken the word of the Lord, they started back to Jerusalem, and were preaching the gospel to many villages of the Samaritans.īut an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip saying, “ Get up and go south to the road that descends from Jerusalem to Gaza.” (This is a desert road.) So he got up and went and there was an Ethiopian eunuch. The colors being reversed tells us that sometimes God will need us to change direction, as found in Acts 8 (below is 8:25-27A, 29-32,36-39a): ![]() Since the secondary rainbow reflects in the raindrop twice, it is not as bright as the primary rainbow. You might have heard of a double-rainbow: In this part of the world, the clouds and wind mostly travel west to east, so rain in the morning from the west would eventually reach us.When we see a morning rainbow, we are facing west and towards the rain.When we see a rainbow at night we are facing east and towards the rain.To see a rainbow or red sky, a person has to be facing the rain with the sun at your back.But He replied to them, “When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’ And in the morning, ‘There will be a storm today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ Do you know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but cannot discern the signs of the times? An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign and a sign will not be given it, except the sign of Jonah.” And He left them and went away.įrom this we learn, do not test God & Jesus and ask for signs.īack to the proverbs, they are pretty logical when you remember that to see a rainbow, rain must be falling in part of the sky and the sun must be shining in the other part of the sky. The Pharisees and Sadducees came up, and testing Jesus, they asked Him to show them a sign from heaven. It's also Biblical, Jesus mentioned it in Matthew 16:1-4: “Rainbow to windward, foul fall the day rainbow to leeward, damp runs away”.“If there be a rainbow in the eve, It will rain and leave But if there be a rainbow in the morrow, it will neither lend nor borrow”.“Rainbow at night, shepherd’s delight Rainbow in morning, shepherds take warning.”.Short wavelength blues and greens are scattered more, leaving the remaining transmitted light more rich in reds and yellows. The sun’s rays travel longer paths through the lower atmosphere where they are scattered by dust and air molecules. The red rainbow is formed at sunset and sunrise.
