The Rainbow In The Church

Revelation 4
1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will show thee things which must be hereafter.
2 And immediately I was in the Spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
3 And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.
4 And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.

I am tempted to document some of the misery that I, my family, my friends, and some acquaintances have experienced in church. But, what would be the purpose of such a futile exercise? No purpose.

On the other hand, on a good day in church, when the Spirit is in the hymns, in the preaching, among the brothers and sisters....then, we can truly understand God's word, we can see the rainbow that is our covenant with God, we can glimpse heaven and we can finally, truly know our blessed, eternal salvation.

Ezekiel 1
28 As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake.
