916 The Authority and Power of the Creator Are Limitless
I
“I do set My bow in the cloud,
and it shall be for a token of a covenant between Me and the earth.”
These are the original words spoken by the Creator to mankind.
As He said these words, a rainbow appeared before the eyes of man,
and it has remained there until this very day.
The rainbow is a sign of the covenant
established between the Creator and man;
it requires no scientific basis,
it wasn’t made by man, nor can man alter it.
It’s a continuation of the Creator’s authority after He spoke His words.
II
The Creator used His own particular method
to keep His covenant with man and His promise,
and He used the rainbow as a sign
of the covenant that He had established.
It’s a heavenly edict and law that shall remain forever unchanged,
whether in regard to the Creator or the created mankind.
It must be said that this immutable law is another true manifestation
of the Creator’s authority following His creation of all things.
It must be said that the Creator’s authority and power are limitless;
His use of the rainbow as a sign
is a continuation and extension of the Creator’s authority.
III
This was another act performed by God using His words,
and was a sign of the covenant
that God had established with man using words.
He told man what He resolved to bring about,
and how it’d be fulfilled and achieved.
In this way the matter was fulfilled
according to the words from God’s mouth.
Only God is possessed of such power,
and today, millennia after He spoke these words,
man can still see the rainbow spoken from the mouth of God.
IV
Because of those words uttered by God,
this thing has remained unaltered and unchanged right up until today.
None can remove this rainbow, none can change its laws,
and it exists solely for God’s words.
This is precisely God’s authority.
“God is as good as His word, and His word will be accomplished,
and that which He accomplishes lasts forever.”
Such words are clearly manifested here,
and it’s a clear sign and characteristic of God’s authority and power.
It’s also a sign and characteristic that can never be surpassed
by any created or non-created being apart from God Himself.
