rainbow, the arc of colored light appearing in the sky, often symbolizing divine glory or covenant
This word evokes the brilliant, multicolored bow that appears when sunlight refracts through water droplets. In Revelation, it transcends meteorology to become a symbol of divine majesty and faithfulness. The rainbow around the throne (Rev 4:3) recalls God's covenant with Noah, while the angel 'clothed with a cloud, with a rainbow over his head' (10:1) carries echoes of divine presence and promise. John's vision transforms a natural phenomenon into an emblem of God's unchanging character amid apocalyptic upheaval.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — The two occurrences in Revelation place the rainbow in contexts of theophany and angelic splendor. Classical Greek used ἶρις for both the messenger-goddess Iris and the physical rainbow, as well as the colored iris of the eye—all sharing the quality of radiant, multi-hued brilliance. The multilingual glosses (Spanish 'arco iris', French 'Regenbogen' [German origin], German 'Regenbogen') all point to the celestial arc, reinforcing the apocalyptic imagery of divine glory surrounding the throne and the mighty angel. 2×
