1536. The Rainbow Isn't What You Think (The Flood Explained) | Dr. T. Michael W. Halcomb

Was the flood really about God's anger?

Most of us learned the story of Noah as children: people were bad, God got angry, and the flood happened. But Genesis tells a much bigger story.

In this episode, Dr. T. Michael W. Halcomb explores how the flood is actually a story of decreation, restraint, and God's determination not to give up on creation. Along the way, you'll discover why the Hebrew word for "rainbow" also means "bow"—a weapon—and why Genesis says this sign was placed in the sky for God himself to remember his covenant.

This episode is part of our series, Before the New Testament: The Foundations You Can't Skip, where we explore the Old Testament themes that shape the entire biblical story.
