any one else see this?

This past sunday my wife and I along with my parents went for a walk here in upstate NY. Towards the end of our walk I happened to look up and saw a rainbow around the sun it was away from the sun but it circled all the way around meaning that the rainbow did not look like it was touching the sun it was bigger around than the sun and there was also a dark cloud that was within the rainbow but the sun was still bright and this cloud was only inside the rainbow. I couldnt help but point it out to my wife and parents. My parents are lost by the way but I asked my wife if it maybe was a sign from the LORD because i remembered seeing that somewhere in the scriptures. Ill add some verses here but did anyone else see this or is there an explanation to this or is it a sign?

Jer 10:2 Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.

Dan 4:3 How great [are] his signs! and how mighty [are] his wonders! his kingdom [is] an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion [is] from generation to generation.

Dan 6:27 He delivereth and rescueth, and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.

Mat 16:3 And in the morning, [it will be] foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O [ye] hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not [discern] the signs of the times?

Luk 21:11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.

Luk 21:25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

This last verse Luke 21:25 was the one I remembered when i saw the rainbow it also goes along with the sea and the waves roaring with the tsunami. I know the bible says Mat 12:39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: \

But those who are saved dont seek after a sign we walk by faith so to us can this be another thing that tells us the rapture is that much closer? I am very intrested in all of your comments and thoughts!

The rainbow around the sun is a fairly common occurance in Ontario. I've heard it called a sun god. I don't know what the actual name for it is

It could be a halo. That's what happens around the moon sometimes... when ice crystals get trapped in the upper atmosphere, the moon shines through the ice, creating a "rainbow" around the moon. I've never seen it around the sun, but then, I never look at the sun! LOL

You've all seen rainbows on those days where it's raining and the sun's out at the same time. But what about those times when you see a rainbow-like halo around the sun or moon?

It's the same physics, really. The halos are usually seen when there are high clouds overhead. Those clouds are made of tiny ice crystals, which will refract the sunlight much like a prism will. Those same high clouds can cause a rainbow halo around the moon as well.
