​As God's children, it is our privilege ever to look up, keeping the eye of faith fixed on Christ. As we constantly keep Him in view, the sunshine of His presence floods the chambers of the mind. The light of Christ in the soul-temple brings peace. The soul is stayed on God. All perplexities and anxieties are committed to Jesus. As we continue to behold Him, His image becomes engraved on the heart, and is revealed in the daily life. . . .  {FLB 248.4}
 
The Rainbow Covenant that God made with us is an everlasting covenant. It is associated with both the Ark of the Covenant and Noah’s Ark. If we get into the Ark and Keep His Law and accept the responsibility of restoration in our lives and share that everlasting gospel of restoration with others, then we will see the Bow of promise. This rainbow covenant was associated with a lot of rain in Noah’s time and it is to be associated with a lot of rain in the latter rain. This promise of God was not only to refrain from destroying the world again through rain and flood but a gospel promise of saving His people through the latter rain of the Holy Spirit.
 
The Rainbow of Glory -- With shouts of triumph, jeering, and imprecation, throngs of evil men are about to rush upon their prey, when, lo, a dense blackness, deeper than the darkness of the night, falls upon the earth. Then a rainbow, shining with the glory from the throne of God, spans the heavens and seems to encircle each praying company. The angry multitudes are suddenly arrested. Their mocking cries die away. The objects of their murderous rage are forgotten. With fearful forebodings they gaze upon the symbol of God's covenant and long to be shielded from its overpowering brightness. {DD 46.1}
 
By the people of God a voice, clear and melodious, is heard, saying, "Look up," and lifting their eyes to the heavens, they behold the bow of promise. The black, angry clouds that covered the firmament are parted, and like Stephen they look up steadfastly into heaven and see the glory of God and the Son of man seated upon His throne. In His divine form they discern the marks of His humiliation; and from His lips they hear the request presented before His Father and the holy angels: "I will that they also, whom Thou hast given Me, be with Me where I am." John 17:24. Again a voice, musical and triumphant, is heard, saying: "They come! they come! holy, harmless, and undefiled. They have kept the word of My patience; they shall walk among the angels;" and the pale, quivering lips of those who have held fast their faith utter a shout of victory. {DD 46.2}
 
On the outside of the rainbow we are in the red of our own self centered passion and through the red of His blood we need the gold of His faith which brings orange. Then when we grow in this faith to keep some of the blue of God’s Law we come to green, which represents growth. As our red passion becomes mixed with His in the blue of the Law –  when our passion is sanctified and we begin doing the commandments - the two together, red and blue, make purple, which is the end of the rainbow. Science tells us all these seven colours mixed together makes the white of His cloak of righteousness – the colour of the fence of the Sanctuary is white – which represents purity. 
 
Our part is to make effort in faith, all diligence to vindicate God in the Great Controversy and walk through the rainbow arc. God will then bless us with the latter rain of the Holy Spirit putting His loving arms around us and ultimately blessing us with His complete 360 degree rainbow orb of perfection and protection.
