In the book of Genesis chapter 9 God gives Noah a promise that He will never again flood the earth to kill every living thing. He told Noah that He was placing a rainbow in the clouds as His permanent promise that He would never again kill everything with a flood. Gen 9:8-15 KJV And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying, [v. 9] And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you; [v. 10] And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth. [v. 11] And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth. [v. 12] And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: [v. 13] I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. [v. 14] And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: [v. 15] 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.
To Christians and possibly Jews as well the rainbow symbolizes that God would never again visit a disaster like the flood on mankind ^ | | | >>>NO. it means that when there has been raining for a while, it's God's promise that he won't destroy the world with water. Only with fire. And it's also a promise that he won't destroy the world anytime soon. :)
We now know that rainbows have occurred naturally ever since the beginning of time, long before Noah could have lived. However for believers it is a spiritual experience to see a rainbow and be reminded of the biblical Flood.
In addition to the being the sign given by God that another worldwide Flood will not occur (Gen. ch.9), rainbows are a small intimation of God's glory (Ezekiel 1:28).
Though rainbows happen according to the laws of physics, God has added to them these further meanings and revealed each in its time.
Just as the sun, moon and stars each hint (Genesis 1:15) directly or indirectly to various things, so too with other physical phenomena.

It is the sign of God's covenant with man, that He will not destroy the earth with water again like he did in Noah's days (Genesis ch.9).
Its a Covenant between God and the person. The Rainbow appears to. Just the way it happened to Noah in The Bible. So there is nothing to worry about!!

The metaphor in "Jill's mind is a rainbow of ideas" suggests that Jill's mind is colorful, diverse, and filled with a variety of creative and innovative thoughts. Just like a rainbow is made up of a spectrum of colors, Jill's mind is depicted as having a wide range of imaginative ideas.
"I am a rainbow" is a example of metaphor because it is comparing two nouns, a person, and a rainbow, but does not use like or as. "I am not anger" is an example of metaphor because it is contrasting two nouns.
A metaphor is the meaning of a phrase which is described in different words, but has the same concept.
The meaning of the text is obtained by an appreciation of the analogy of the metaphor.
Academic honesty is like a rainbow it comes in different colours.
Originally, metaphor was a Greek word meaning "transfer". The Greek etymology is from meta, implying "a change" and pherein meaning "to bear, or carry". Thus, the word metaphor itself has a metaphorical meaning in English, "a transfer of meaning from one thing to another".
