Don’t Be Offended by the Gay Pride Symbol…Be Reminded!
This morning I saw an article from CNN written about Gilbert Baker, the man famed for designing and creating the gay pride symbol – the Rainbow Flag. It was titled, “Rainbow flag maker inspired by the Bible, U.S. flag”. In the article, it expressed Mr. Baker’s happiness on the latest Supreme Court decision on gay rights, his struggle he had while he fought for gay rights in the 70’s when he made the flag, and how making the flag was the most important thing he’d ever done. It also discussed that the flag was inspired by the Bible and how no one should be able to argue against it because it was inspired from the Bible. His words exactly were:
“How do you argue with that? People want to argue about it, but I say: ‘The rainbow’s in the Bible. It’s a covenant between God and all living creatures.’” – Gilbert Baker, creator of Gay Pride Flag

This statement was alarming to me to me at first. I now had evidence that the maker of the gay pride flag used the rainbow knowing it was in the Bible. It fit my mainstream view that they were blaspheming God’s promise. I mean, yes, the rainbow represents God’s covenant with man. Yes it’s in the Bible. Now I realized that many don’t know what that covenant with God was, or maybe I didn’t completely. Like with everything, I had to go back to scripture. So let’s first go to scripture as Mr. Baker points out to us. Let’s see exactly what that scripture says. It’s found in the book of Genesis, Chapter 9.
Then God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying: “And as for Me, behold, I establish My covenant with you and with your descendants after you, and with every living creature that is with you: the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you, of all that go out of the ark, every beast of the earth. Thus I establish My covenant with you: Never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood; never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth.” And God said: “This is the sign of the covenant which I make between Me and you, and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth. It shall be, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow shall be seen in the cloud; and I will remember My covenant which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. The rainbow shall be in the cloud, and I will look on it to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.” And God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that is on the earth.” (Genesis 9:8-17 NKJV)
So this is what Mr. Baker is referring to? This is the covenant that he is referencing? The covenant that God made with us and every living creature is that when He judges the earth, He will not flood it again. The rainbow is actually the reminder of this covenant. Therefore when we see a rainbow it should remind us that God will judge the earth again and it will not be destroyed by flood.
Wow….When that realization hit me, I started looking at the gay pride rainbow flag in a completely different way. Like I briefly mentioned earlier, before when I saw the flag, I used to feel a little disgust that they were using the flag to blaspheme God. It use to offend me. But when really looking at it based on what God says about it, I realized that it was the complete other way around. It is God actually using them. Let me explain:
This world is moving in a very dark direction. That direction being very much in contradiction with the things that many have known God to stand for. In the Bible, it was actually prophesied that the last days would look very similar to the way the world is now. Many people do believe we are living in the last days. If they are correct and God is approaching near with judgment, it makes sense that we would be continually reminded about that covenant of judgement He made with us after the flood. Which would also mean that every time I see a gay pride flag, I should remember that God is going to judge this earth.
As the days keep getting darker, it’s not ironic that the sign of His covenant would increase in number and visibility. The reminder that He will judge this earth continuously getting stronger and louder. Though the LGBT community wants to use the symbol to stand for something else, you can not change the true meaning of a symbol. This goes hand in hand with people who display satanic hand symbols & gestures believing they can change the underlying meaning. You can’t do it! It does not work that way. The symbol always keeps it underlying meaning even if it is not understood by the one displaying the symbol.
So while they may believe that they are referring to gay pride, a believer in the Bible should realize they are actually reminding us of God’s judgement. Reminding us that our Lord & Savior is coming back for His church. A reminder that the times are going to get a lot darker and more evil. A reminder that God’s prophesies and Word is all true. A reminder that we need to be ready for the Lord.
So when you see a gay pride flag and become offended, please review your feeling and remember God’s Word. Remember His promise to us. Be ready for Him and make sure your family and friends are too. If you are a believer in salvation only though Jesus Christ, then rejoice for the return of our Savior is near. If you are not a believer, please take the time to understand why you need Jesus and repent from your sins. Give your life to Jesus Christ.
God does not lie! He has told us the truth! Will you listen? Pass this on to anyone that will read it and remind every one of God’s promise! God Bless you all!
Notice, the rainbow has seven colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. The pride flag only has six colors. They have excluded indigo. Seven represents completion. I thought that was interesting.
Gay, people are not being dehumanize. being gay is wrong but it doesn’t make gays less as people it just means its a sin like murder or lying. and when you talk about homosexuality happening in nature first they are animals they dont know any better but we do , and next rape murder cannibalism happens in nature dose that mean its ok ? and to your comment about god dident make gay people, gay people are here because eve ate the apple. and 70+ years ago it wasn’t wrong to be black people just thought they were 2/3 animals. Being gay and christian is the same as saying being a rapist and a christian or a murder and a Christian. and with the verse a man would not lie with a man, you are believing the same lie Satan told eve and the same lie Satan is telling all of us currently. if god meant boy he would have said boy or child. he said man don’t lie to yourself and what about Corinthians 6:9 and Romans you cant just say it men’t something different if you don’t like Gods rules. A man who cheats on his wife could say the bible diden’t say not to cheat it said do not cheat with a woman who is married but you can cheat on you wife with a single girl or a girl with a boyfriend, he is lying to himself.”Why is it an “abomination” when a man wears a dress pr a woman wears a suit? Think about it! Is it really that wrong? ” that sounds exactly like what Satan would say, “is it really wrong to eat this fruit did God really say you can’t eat this fruit, listen to yourself dose it make sense not to eat a fruit” then eve ate the fruit and fell into sin. “Scientists do not know what determines an individual’s sexual orientation, but they theorize that it is caused by a complex interplay of genetic, hormonal, and environmental influences, and do not view it as a choice. ” actually scientist say they is no such thing as a gay gene.”it makes me sick to see so-called “Christians” telling gay people about God’s punishments for them whilst also talking about his “love” for them.” God LOVES us but HATES our sin Gods love and wrath go hand in hand{i can explain in depth if you want}.”It’s all about being human to each other and respecting other people’s values and norms.” some peoples norms is to pray to Satan should we let them. May God bless you and keep you KD if you and want to talk about this more we can (yassanno0o0@gmail.com and no i will not yell at you or say you will burn). – JB
The Bible. Leviticus 18:22-24,29
[22]”Don’t have sex with a man as one does with a woman. That is abhorrent.
[24](24-28) “Don’t pollute yourself in any of these ways. This is how the nations became polluted, the ones that I am going to drive out of the land before you. Even the land itself became polluted and I punished it for its iniquities—the land vomited up its inhabitants. You must keep my decrees and laws— natives and foreigners both. You must not do any of these abhorrent things. The people who lived in this land before you arrived did all these things and polluted the land. And if you pollute it, the land will vomit you up just as it vomited up the nations that preceded you.
[29](29-30) “Those who do any of these abhorrent things will be cut off from their people. Keep to what I tell you; don’t engage in any of the abhorrent acts that were practiced before you came. Don’t pollute yourselves with them. I am God, your God.”
1 Corinthians 6:9-10[AMP]: Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit or have any share in the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived;neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulters,nor effeminate [by perversion], nor those who participate in homosexuality,… will inherit or have any share in the Kingdom of God.
These scriptures clearly illustrates God’s stand on the issue of same sex relationships. God sent His only son to die for us, to redeem us from our sins,to show us the way back to the Father. He clearly has done that, it’s left for us all to believe in Him and surrender our lives to the Lord and live in accordance with the scripture. God does not mean for all to perish, but for us to believe in the son and all He asks us to do. The question now is, Whom do you believe in? Do you accept the salvation that Jesus has wrought for you? If you do, if you want to inherit the Lord’s promises for you, you must obey. For obedience is better than sacrifice. This is where the problem lies for some. Yes, we all might be struggling with one sin or the other but the Lord has given us the opportunity to repent from them all. Everyone has to choose, if it’s the Lord or mammon, whom he’ll follow.
My advice is that you choose Jesus, He leads to eternal life when the world dwindles to nothing. For those of us that may have friends or loved ones in the LGBTQ community, as a believer, you should share the Message of Christ salvation to them. That’s with love,and not condemnation. If you really love them, help them partake in the salvation the Lord has promised to all that believe. If you reject Christ and His Word, He’ll reject you too.
I encourage all to give their lives to the Lord today, tomorrow may be too late.
I just wanna know is it the sin you hate or the not so straight people too?
I believe God is love and I should love everyone even if sometimes its hard
Yea sin is sin but please before you become so harsh ,so sure and so quick to condemn with no trace of compassion remember just because you are not gay or don’t struggle with homosexuality,there’s a particular sin hidden or not so hidden from the world sin in your life that you also struggle with and you wouldn’t wish to be so attacked like these esp if its part of you.
Sometimes in trying to show a soul the way you may end up leading them astray.
Remember its not just people like you ,with same beliefs and ideologies visiting this site.

Penguin Loove, It is not the people we hate, but the sin.God says to love one another, do good to them who hate you, bless them that curse you, and to do good to them who despitefully use you and persecute you.God also tells us it is important to forgive one another or else Elohim above won’t forgive us our transgressions and God sees sin as sin.The Murderer is just as much of a sinner as the homosexual,transgender,lesibian,axsexual,etc.We do not HATE them for it, we pray diligently for them.This isn’t a bash against them nor in anyway.I love you all brethren, bless you!-JM
When was the last time you see rainbow?
Thank you brother @truthunedited.
Please continue with your ministry as it is definitely bringing many people to the light and out of the darkness.
People should note that when they decide to expose the lies of this world, they will be persecuted or attacked either physically,emotionally or spiritually.
I Pray that Elohim protects you all who believe in his son,our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ
