The Bow

Gen 9

13: I do set my bow H7198 in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.

14: And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow H7198 shall be seen in the cloud:

16: And the bow H7198 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.

Gen 49:24 But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel:)
2 Sam 22:35 He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow H7198 of steel is broken by mine arms.
Ez 1:28 As the appearance of the bow H7198 that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake.

 

The white horseman in Revelation 6 is likely a picture of the Antichrist and he carries a bow.

Rev. 6:2 And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.

There is a connection with the symbol of God's bow to both peace and judgement.  The "peace" of the antichrist is a deception and twisting of the truth, similar to how the symbol of the rainbow has been twisted, leading up to the one-world antichrist religion.
