Transcript A Rainbow’s “Pot of Gold” - Seventh

A Rainbow’s “Pot of Gold”
“Praise be to the Lord…Not
one word has failed of all the
good promises he gave.”
1 Kings 8:56
The Facts, Please!
• A rainbow is an arch
of beautiful colors that
may appear in the sky
after a rainstorm. We
can only see it when
the sun is behind us
and rain or a mist is in
front of us.
Sometimes the bow
may spread all the way
across the sky, with its
two ends seeming to
touch the earth.
•There are seven
colors in each bowviolet, indigo, blue,
green, yellow, orange,
and red. The red is at
the top of the arch.
The colors blend into
one another so that we
rarely see more than
four or five of them
clearly.
More Facts, Please!
• Rainbows are caused by sunlight
striking drops of water. The
sunlight hits the falling raindrops,
which then act as prisms,
reflecting the light. The different
colors are formed as the light
passes through the raindrops at
different angles.
More Facts, Please!
• A rainbow is
actually a full
circle. When the
sun is near the
horizon, a person
on a high mountain
or in a plane might
see the complete
circle.
• Sometimes there
may be a primary
and a secondary
rainbow, whose
colors are in
reverse and less
brilliant. The moon
can also have a
rainbow in softer
colors.
More Facts, Please!
• An old legend says that there is a
pot of gold at the end of the
rainbow, and whoever finds it can
keep it. Once a man set out to
find the pot of gold, but it always
seemed to be just beyond him. Of
course, he never found it.
How to Claim God’s Promise
Not all promises in
the Bible are for
everyone. There are
special promises that
God made to the
Jews in Bible times,
and some are for the
future. Many
promises are for
God’s children today.
Each comes with a
condition—
something we must
do before God will
fulfill the promise.
Look up each Bible text listed below.
Match each text with the promise that God
gives in that verse and with what you must
do to claim the promise.
