Rabbi: Incredibly Rare 9-Hour Rainbow in Taiwan is ‘Sign of Our Dangerous Times’
By Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz December 5, 2017
“Like the appearance of the bow which shines in the clouds on a day of rain, such was the appearance of the surrounding radiance. That was the appearance of the semblance of the Presence of Hashem.” Ezekiel 1:28
A new record was set last Thursday when two scientists in Taiwan recorded a rainbow that lasted an incredible nine hours.
Chou Kun-hsuan and Liu Ching-huang, both professors in the Department of Atmospheric Science at the Chinese Culture University, were observing a rainbow for their studies last week when gradually, they realized that something very unusual was going on. Rainbows typically last much less than an hour, so they were shocked when the colorful phenomenon they were watching so carefully failed to dissipate.
According to Chou, the rainbow started at 6:57 AM and lasted until 3:55 PM, or 8 hours and 58 minutes. If confirmed, this will shatter the previous record set in Wetherby in Yorkshire, United Kingdom on March 14, 1994, which was recorded as lasting from 9 AM to 3 PM, or 6 hours.
Rainbows are a powerful symbol in the Torah, the postdiluvian sign of God’s promise to Noah that He would never again destroy the world through flooding.
When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between Hashem and all living creatures, all flesh that is on earth. Genesis 9:16
Rainbows are so significant that a special blessing is recited upon seeing one.
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה ה’ אֶלוֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם זוֹכֵר הַבְּרִית וְנֶאֱמָן בִּבְרִיתוֹ וְקַיָם בְּמַאֲמָרוֹ
Baruch ata Ado-nai Elo-heinu melech ha’olam zocher ha’brit v’ne’eman bi’vrito v’kayam b’ma’amaro.
Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who remembers the covenant, and is faithful to His covenant, and keeps His promise.
It is also significant that rainbows are making unprecedented appearances in these troubled times, Rabbi Shimon Apisdorf, a Jewish author and educator, told Breaking Israel News, noting that in the Torah, rainbows are not simply pretty sights to be enjoyed.
