Life still exist after the rain!

Genesis 7:16
And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
When the Lord shut you in somewhere In life you can't move until he releases you and it's for your own good because you don't know what lurks out there from that spot that could befail you therefore don't try to go before God's timing into something God didn't release you too. So it's obedience and sacrifice to God and sacrifice to his self image and what he thought about himself and what others may have thought about him that saved his whole family. Had Noah not obeyed he and his family although he had found favor with God would have been destroyed with the all the other things and all other life on the earth. Yet he obeyed and God protected him and there was life on earth after the rain became he strategically followed the Lord's instructions and the Lord shut them in. In the right time the Lord also released them and first thing God did was make a covenant and after the covenant was made later on in the scriptures first thing Noah does was make a alter of sacrifice to the Lord.
In the Bible's Genesis flood narrative, after creating a flood to wash away humanity's corruption, God put the rainbow in the sky as the sign of his promise that he would never again destroy the earth with flood (Genesis 9:13–17):
Gen 9:7-17 KJV
The Lord never promised us that there still wouldn't be rain. Rain like trials in our makes things grow including us. But even God himself didn't want to destroy the whole earth again by flooding it to remove all life but he repented or had regrets putting man kind in earth because of all the evilness and corruption. But after some time God remembered Noah and his family after being shut up in a situation by the Lord to save you and Even though Noah and his family were saved it still took 40 days and nights for the rain to fall for the floodgates of heaven to open up but the waters were on the earth for 150days and just imagine with me if you will sometimes darkness with stinky animals and potentially dangerous animals that God protected him and his family from. The real reason we should celebrate the rainbow is because it's God's covenant his promise to us and reminder to him of his Word that the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. Not for any other reason is the rainbow for. It's making a mockery in my opinion to use it for any other way. Some folks use it to cope with losing a child which I can see as a symbolic meaning there joy have the rain and there is life after pain.. Others use it to represent freedom in expressing their choice of sexual orientation but that's not what is or was ever intended to be used for. Hosea 4:6 says My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
another version says
Isaiah 5:13
Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.
and you may ask why I tend to give two versions or confirm the Word of God in two places because 2 Timothy 2:15 says paraphrasing we need to be able to rightly divide the Word of truth and furthermore where it is two witnesses or two or more gathered together in his name he is in the mist so at least two scriptures coming together to confirm God's Word is enough to prove God not that we need to but we can. In regards to the scriptures saying even our children...We ought not to put ourselves in situations that can potentially affect our generations especially due to our own canal (flesh) desires especially when God puts his signs right in front of us to show us his love for us even when we don't deserve it but we still choose our own way.
