 June 1994 - A trip
to the mountains occasioned the sight of a miracle. After the
climb, we came to a more flat stretch of road. Up ahead, a
rainbow ended right in our path. As we passed through it, every
color passed through the car. I watched in amazement as each
color glistened almost unnaturally as the rainbow passed over me and my
seat. I knew this event was against the laws of nature. I
took it to be a sign of the assurance of God’s presence. Mom got
excited and wanted to immediately go and buy lottery tickets.
In the context of an abnormally rainy
season, a precursor of more peculiar weather to come, God seemed to be
referring to the promise represented by the rainbow:
And it shall come to pass, when I
bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the
cloud: And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and
you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no
more become a flood to destroy all flesh. (Gen 9:14-15)
Later in the summer, Dad gave me a
hand delivered card from what source I do not know. It depicted a
farmer drenched with rain, saying, “Get well soon!” I was not
amused to be Nortel’s scapegoat.
In the larger context, I do not
believe God is responsible for any of abnormal weather or disasters of
this age. Rather it is a manifestation of other evil
characteristic of these times (Not that God is evil at all). As
for God’s denial, he communicated it with a concrete miracle seen by at
least three people.
