It’s not just the government that has been overtaken by the rainbow flag.
In our day, we witness the attempted obliteration of gender, complementarity, and conjugal marriage as a means of undermining both the preaching of and experience of the Gospel. In particular, he seeks to deceive passive, dull-minded, unaware believers: “But I am afraid that as the serpent deceived Eve by its cunning, your thoughts will be led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ” (2 Corinthians 11:3). This is his purpose, to deceive and distract all from the magnificent glory of the Gospel, of God’s eternal plan for humanity. He is “The “ancient serpent … who leads the whole world astray” (Revelation 12:9). “We know that we are God’s children, and that the whole world lies under the power of the evil one,” (1 John 5:19). Scripture makes it clear that Satan seeks dominion over every heart, every government: It also stands as a warning of judgment and doom for those who oppose this occupying force, who stand against this ideological colonization, meant to demoralize and create a sense of hopeless, totalitarian inevitability, of surrender and defeat.
And that as ruler he maintains his own brand of influence over the United States: over political leaders, even those in the highest realms of government over judges in the highest court in the land and many lower courts over media and many thought and opinion leaders over many major corporations, and over academia at every level. Underlying it all is a mocking proclamation of the ruler of this world that reason, natural law and the common good can be impeached and banished in favor of sophistry and the institutionalizing of the untenable, outrageous notion of genderless marriage. This is what dominion - the hostile ideological takeover of a great nation by a foreign occupying force - looks like: The Cambridge Dictionary defines dominion as “control over a country or people, or the land that belongs to a ruler.” It was a sign of victory, and more than that, it was a declaration of dominance. A senior official at the White House tweeted that this was a declaration that “Love wins!”īut there is clearly something more behind the rainbow-colored White House. Many would say that the White House bathed in the colors of the rainbow flag on June 26, 2015, was nothing more than a sign of celebration, a well-deserved message of congratulations to the LGBT community after the Supreme Court’s ruling. Of course, this list isn’t exhaustive because flags are always being devised to reflect different sub-cultures, but hopefully this will useful for the next time you see one of these gorgeous symbols being flown at the next Pride event.(LifeSiteNews) - Flags and banners are important symbols that claim and establish territory or convey an important message. We’ve collected a list of the Pride flags that have become synonymous with various identities in our vibrant community. The existence of this flag doesn’t take away from anybody else’s identity.
“That is literally the purpose of any flag we have – to stand as a symbol for an identity, whether it’s a country, a municipality, a company, it stands as a symbol to recognise and highlight the experiences of this entity. Instead it is a way to symbolise, to highlight, and to stand in solidarity with these other identities,” she told GAY TIMES. “This eight-stripe flag is not a replacement, in the same way that that those other flags didn’t replace the original. When we spoke to Amber Hikes, developer of the eight-stripe More Colour More Pride flag, she explained the importance of individual symbols for LGBTQ+ sub-cultures – and she did it beautifully. NEWSFLASH PEOPLE: one flag would be a snooze-fest! There has been pushback, however, from members of the community who argue that the original Pride flag encompasses and celebrates all identities. Since artist and gay rights activist Gilbert Baker created the original flag in 1978, various designers and advocates have made different (or updated) variations of the flag to better represent individual communities. Each year, the rainbow flag is flown at Pride events all around a world to reflect the beauty and diversity of the LGBTQ+ community.
