What does the color of the gay flag mean
God’s gracious display of patience is meant to lead to repentance from sin (Romans 2:4), not celebration of sin. Rather, this kind of mercy shows us that God is patiently waiting for all, including homosexuals, to believe. God’s covenant with creatures and the rainbow in our sky do not mean that sinners have nothing to fear. The fact that he has refrained from sending another flood to destroy the world does not mean that he accepts homosexual practices, or any other kind of sin. According to Genesis 9, as long as the rainbow hangs in the sky, God will mercifully and graciously restrain his anger towards humanity. To this day, the rainbow symbolizes that promise. When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.” God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant that I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth.” (Genesis 9:12–17)
And the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. When I bring clouds over the earth and the bow is seen in the clouds, I will remember my covenant that is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh. God said, “This is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations: I have set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. When God enters into covenant with Noah, after destroying the sinful world with the flood, he vows that he will never again destroy the world in that way. In Scripture, the rainbow also displays God’s grace towards all humanity. In that day the lofty pride of all men, including gay pride, will be brought low, and the Lord alone will be gloriously exalted. The rainbow gives us a picture of the beauty believers will will see when God comes again to live on the earth and to fill it with his glory (Habakkuk 2:14). None of us have beheld God’s glory with our eyes. Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, wrapped in a cloud, with a rainbow over his head, and his face was like the sun, and his legs like pillars of fire. (Ezekiel 1:28)Īnd he who sat there had the appearance of jasper and carnelian, and around the throne was a rainbow that had the appearance of an emerald. Such was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. Like the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud on the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness all around. Throughout Scripture, the rainbow symbolizes God’s glory - the radiance of his beauty, holiness, and perfection. God designed the rainbow to symbolize something far greater and far more glorious than homosexuality, and if those in the homosexual community truly understood and embraced the symbol they are waving in their hands, they would experience true freedom and peace. Even the White House was lit up the with red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. Those who celebrate so-called same-sex marriage are painting social media with rainbow colors. The Supreme Court’s decision on gay “marriage” has made the rainbow symbol ubiquitous.
God does indeed know the internal and social battles of gays and lesbians, but the question is, Does he approve of their practice? Would God approve of their use of the rainbow to symbolize this movement? It’s a covenant between God and all living creatures.” According to Baker, the God of the Bible knows the struggle of gays and lesbians, and that is where he finds hope.
He answers those who think it’s not, saying, “The rainbow’s in the Bible. Gilbert Baker, the man credited with pioneering the celebratory rainbow flag flying over the gay movement, recently lauded his craft, noting that it’s something beautiful. Most likely, you think of homosexuality or the wider LGBT movement. What do you think of when you see the rainbow flag?
