Black and White

I have been told that most animals and certainly dogs can only
see in black and white. They can't see colors, no blue sky's no
blue oceans, no pretty orange sun sets, The beautiful green
grass for them just isn't green. Well here is a theory. Mankind
pre flood could also only see black and white. It's true! Eve
wouldn't have known if the forbidden fruit was an apple or
orange, she was color blind. What? Where did I possibly get this
idea, I am sure some may be wondering. Let us continue.
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:
13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of
a covenant between me and the earth.
14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the
earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
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.
16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it,
that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and
every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.
17 And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant,
which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon
the earth.
We all know this bow in the clouds to be a rainbow, a beautiful
rainbow which contains an array of color. This is what Wikipedia
says about a rainbow
A rainbow is an optical and meteorological phenomenon that is
caused by reflection of light in water droplets in the Earth's
atmosphere, resulting in a spectrum of light appearing in the
sky. It takes the form of a multicoloured arc.
Rainbows caused by sunlight always appear in the section of sky
directly opposite the sun.
In a "primary rainbow", the arc shows red on the outer part and
violet on the inner side. This rainbow is caused by light being
refracted while entering a droplet of water, then reflected
inside on the back of the droplet and refracted again when
leaving it.
In a double rainbow, a second arc is seen outside the primary
arc, and has the order of its colours reversed, red facing
toward the other one, in both rainbows. This second rainbow is
caused by light reflecting twice inside water droplets.
So why couldn't anyone see the bow prior to the flood? One can
only conclude mankind was colorblind. Certainly it had rained
prior to the flood, and I would think the sun had the same
effects on the water then as it does now.
The other day I was spraying off the car with the garden hose
and as I sprayed over the car I noticed the reflection of the
sun on the water coming out of the hose was making a rainbow. I
have seen pictures of beautiful waterfalls and the picture was
taken at an angle that you could see a beautiful rainbow. You
know when one truly thinks about it, there is nothing that
miraculous about a rainbow at all. All you need is water and
light.
I think that this alone debunks the idea that the flood was a
literal event or that it is to be taken literal when we read the
story in the bible. That or the theory that mankind being color
blind pre flood may be true, and I seriously doubt that!

First of all, I don't read "rainbow" to mean a physical rainbow
in the sky that we see with earthly eyes. Why do people read
this story literally? It says the water came up and the rain
came down. While both are true, I would say, they can't be
true in earthly terms -- it is something spiritual being
described.
Even if it were however, you can see colors without ever having
seen a rainbow.
I even assign different colors to the days of the week. So do
the Hindus for that matter.

/> I don't agree with them entirely however -- but what's new?
See how they say Sunday is red or yellow, Monday is blue, and
Tuesday is red? I'd say Sunday is yellow.
Thus in Genesis 1: when light appears, it's the color of the
sun which rules the first day of the week. That may be a little
hard to see --since we read the sun wasn't formed yet -- but the
yellow ray was first.
Monday is easier to see in Genesis since both the sky and oceans
are blue; and Tuesday is easy to see too since "adamah" means
red dirt just as "adam" means a rosy colored person -- because
"dam" means blood which is red. The colors are there in Genesis
1 if you dig.
That's only the order of colors in the days of the week. They
follow a different order in other things. The rainbow Noah saw
was a new form of man receiving Light. Prior to that, mankind
had direct access to the Divine Light through the greater and
lesser lights and the stars (I'd say 5 are meant in Genesis 1);
but they abused the Light. So they lost access to it. That is
why most people cannot see what is happening in Heaven. A
"new" firmament was put in place between the first heaven and
the earth.
Manifestations of the Divine into the world after that were
through the "clouds" appearing and then the Light of God
appearing in the clouds. There are seven manners or spirits
which can manifest. Is that confusing?
Before Flood:
Third heaven called fire
no firmament mentioned, but there are safeguards to keep people
out
Second heaven of upper waters or air
Firmament with seven lights
First heaven of lower waters -- astral plane, etc.
{another firmament to stop people from seeing into the first
heaven -- with the rainbow as a source of light}
Earth
The "Vine" also comes through the firmaments. The vine Noah
planted was not a physical vine. It was rooting the Tree of
Life again in the earth.
