A predominantly green bow without rain.

Okay, that's interesting and I'll grant your point. However, my primary concern is what the first-century writer (John) meant in Rev. 4:3 and chap. 10 when he spoke of the "bow" attending Jehovah's throne and the angel. It seems that he understand "rainbow" by the term. Research is usually provisional (it can change), but that appears to be the safe understanding for now.
