The rainbow.
A strange phenomena of creation.
A promise.
"Never again."
Never again would God flood the Earth to destroy all of those who laughed in His face.
Never again would the waters of the deep rise above all land across the globe.
A promise.
A merciful promise.
But also a reminder.
The wrath of God is real.
You don't want God as your enemy.
What were they doing back then? What was it that was so horrible that He had to destroy them all apart from one family? Humans.
Liars.
Thieves.
Rapists.
Adulterers.
Swindlers.
Humans claiming they came in love.
But only looking out for themselves.
Following any and every desire, lust, and craving.
Pursuing everything that made them "feel good."
Huh.
Sounds like every age across history.
God allowed a nation, a people, to live as they chose.
Then when He sent some to tell them of their wrong and they laughed...
Yes, there were the Jews, but...
The Nazis?
They were vanquished.
The old Chinese empires?
They were destroyed.
The nations of Europe?
They were conquered.
The Romans?
They were attacked by plague and war.
The wrath of God is real.
You don't want God as your enemy.
But he always gave a way out.
He warned everyone, then saved a few.
The few who were, or became, faithful.
The few who made sure to not focus on themselves.
Who lived as servants, helping people.
Who told about the mercy of God.
And His promises.
Promises like the rainbow.
But now?
Now a new people have arisen.
Yet they are not any different than the past.
They still live for feeling.
The one difference is they carry the rainbow as an emblem of freedom, unity, and love.
Careful, oh people.
Careful.
You are still loved.
But do not be so foolish as to take a symbol from God and make it your own.
You are still precious humans as I.
But do not call me a hater.
When you laugh in my face,
When you point at those of us who say what you are doing is wrong,
You are laughing in the face of God's ambassador to you.
The time of the Flood is no more,
But the time of Fire is still to come.
Careful.
The wrath of God is real.
Hear my cry.
I beg you.
Turn back, oh New Nineveh.
You don't want God as your enemy.
