This blanket of fire, covering hundreds of square miles, is the rarest phenomenon of them all. It was spotted in the US on the Washington-Idaho border around midday last Saturday.


Rainbow that set the sky on fire

In a breathtaking blaze of glory, Nature puts on one of its most spectacular sky shows.

Reds, oranges, blues and greens create a flaming rainbow that stretches above the clouds.

But this circumhorizon arc, as it is known, owes more to ice than fire. It occurs when sunlight passes through ice crystals in high cirrus clouds. It is one of 15 types of ice halos formed only when the most specific of factors dovetail precisely together.

This blanket of fire, covering hundreds of square miles, is the rarest phenomenon of them all. It was spotted in the US on the Washington-Idaho border around midday last Saturday.

Dr Jonathan Fox, of the US National Weather Service in Spokane, Washington, said: 'It was even more spectacular than the Northern Lights. I feel lucky to have seen it because it only forms in very rare situations. This is the first one I've ever seen. It was a breathtaking sight and it hung around for about an hour.'

To create a rainbow of fire, clouds must be at least 20,000ft high and the ice crystals within them align horizontally instead of their usual vertical position. The sun also needs to be at least 58 degrees above the horizon. Then, the magic can begin.

Pastor Roger,

Brother, thanks for sharing this beautiful photo with us. It is yet another reminder of the MAJESTY OF GOD'S CREATION. We are lucky just to see them, much less to try and explain them. The handiwork of Almighty God will always be far beyond what man can even imagine.

Love In Christ,
Tom

Psalms 113:3 NASB  From the rising of the sun to its setting The name of the LORD is to be praised.

The power of God is awesome, to allow us to see such a sight.

Acts 2:19 And I will show wonders in the sky above and signs on the earth beneath, blood and fire and smoking vapor;

Wow what a masterpiece of God. He is so Awesome. Blessed be His Name. He is in control of everything, and He is not sitting up in Heaven worrying about anything, just look at the beauty He used to remind us that He is still God, He is still in control..

AMEN!!

Gen 9:12  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:
Gen 9:13  I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
Gen 9:14  And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
Gen 9:15  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.
Gen 9:16  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.





Rev 4:3  And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.


Rev 10:1  And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:

I have seen this happen a few times, but never knew how it was made or anything else about it. This photo here is breath taking. The times I saw it happen it was never this big.
