Rainbow

In this week’s Torah portion, we learn about the rainbow, G-d’s sign that the world will continue. The rainbow is a symbol of G-d’s glory, and it expresses G-d’s eternity in the constant continuing of the world. It is made from the reflection of the rays of the sun in the cloud. The cloud is made from water that evaporates from the earth. The rainbow expresses the earth becoming so refined that G-d’s light is reflected in it. A rainbow of bright colors is a sign that Moshiach is imminent.
