On January 27th 2011, at 9:30 AM, an extraordinary complex rainbow (meteorologically speaking, a 'coronal phenomena') appeared in the sky over Muan Sweet Water Site where a miracle similar to the turning of bitter water of Marah into sweet water, as recorded in Exodus 15, took place. The rainbow was observed for over an hour. It was a complex multiple rainbow. The first is a circular rainbow surrounding the sun with two bright rays of light emanating from points on both the sides of the circular rainbow like diamonds cut and set on a ring. A second circular rainbow intersected the first connecting the two diamond-shaped rays; two bilateral symmetrically curved rainbows like wings of a dove took shape to the right on the first rainbow. A semicircular shaped half rainbow surrounded all of them. There was also a fan-shaped rainbow symmetrically positioned to the half-circular rainbow.
In general, rainbows appear due to the reflection, refraction, diffusion or interference of the sun's rays when they shine through raindrops or snow crystals in the atmosphere. We also know that the rainbows stand as a sign of God's love and promise as recorded in the Bible (Genesis 9:13; Revelation 4:4) and we have often seen rainbows appear around Manmin Central Church on special occasions of the church.
These rainbows have appeared not only in the sky over Manmin Central Church, but also in the sky over its branch churches on special occasions and other occasions of the church including overseas crusades, pastors' conference, and handkerchief healing meetings. Such extraordinary rainbows appear time and again at the God-pleasing events.
Revelation 4:3 tells us, "And He who was sitting was like a jasper stone and a sardius in appearance; and there was a rainbow around the throne, like an emerald in appearance." Like people exchanging rings as a sign of a significant promise, God has shown us the rainbow which surrounds His throne like an engagement ring and a wedding ring as a sign of His covenant.
Since a circular rainbow appeared around the sun in the sky over Manmin Central Church on May 15th, 1998, members of the church have often seen rainbows for the last 13 years. During the mission trips for the overseas crusades beginning in 2000, double, triple, and fourfold circular rainbows surrounding the shadow of the plane have been viewed from the plane, and sometimes other various forms of rainbows including linear, symmetric, asymmetric, and K-shaped rainbows have appeared. Through the appearances of those spiritual rainbows, members of Manmin Central Church have come to stand firm in the faith, understand the spiritual realm, and have more fervently longing hearts for New Jerusalem.
