If leprechauns really hid gold at the end of rainbows, June would be the month to search. There seem to be rainbows everywhere. It used to be that everyone loved rainbows, but now they are divisive and provoke a negative reaction in a large segment of the population. This is, of course, because our culture has changed the symbolism of the rainbow. The rainbow is now seen as the symbol for pride. Not pride in some great accomplishment, but instead, pride in choosing to have sex with people of the same sex, or pride in thinking you are a different gender than you are.
This new rainbow symbol has caused a lot of controversy. Target stores have been the subject of boycotts because they are featuring pride displays with LGBTQ+ geared products. I walked into the Target by my house to see for myself, and sure enough, right near the front was the pride section, with rainbow clothing, dresses for men, and lots of pride slogans. I was even more surprised when I walked around the store and saw a pride pet supply section with rainbow frisbees, chew toys, and bones. Presumably, this is for your boy dogs who think they are girl dogs.
Major League Baseball has also made headlines recently. Last season, five Tampa Bay Rays players caused a stir when they declined to wear rainbow pride logos on their jerseys. Then, this season, the Los Angeles Dodgers took criticism for celebrating a pride night where they honored the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, an organization that mocks Catholicism in the name of pride in their sins. (Their motto is “Go forth and sin some more!”) Now, to avoid further divisiveness and controversy, Major League Baseball has quietly instructed teams to eliminate rainbow pride logos from their Pride Day uniforms.
While it is frustrating that the meaning of rainbows has been twisted in that way, they should still bring joy and hope. Rainbows, along with being beautiful, have a very specific meaning. When we see all of these rainbows, it should be looked at as an opportunity to tell people what they really mean. The true meaning is found in Genesis 9:8-17. After a time similar to the times we live in now, where people did what was right in their own eyes, God punished the world with a flood, saving only Noah and his family. Then God made a promise to Noah that He would never again destroy the earth with a flood. He set a rainbow in the cloud as a sign of that promise. That is what rainbows really mean.
This is amazing news for so many reasons! This not only shows God’s love and mercy, but it gives us a great chance to steer the LGBTQ propaganda back to God. Not only that, but it destroys another political attack that is being used against us to crush our way of life. All of you who have heard about “The Great Reset” know that it would ruin our economy and our culture, and the cornerstone of it working is the “climate change” agenda. They try to scare children that rising temperatures will melt the ice caps, and the oceans will rise and wipe out the planet with a flood. Since we know about the rainbow and God’s promise that it represents, we also know that there is no chance that this will ever happen. There is literally a greater chance that the Oakland A’s will win the World Series this year than of rising sea levels causing a global flood. Paulie Shore has a better chance of being appointed to the Supreme Court than there is of global warming flooding the earth. I would gladly bet everything I own on this; because God does not break His promises!
The next time you are walking around and see rainbow flags, instead of getting upset, use that opportunity to tell someone about the true symbolism of rainbows. Remember, we already have the book. The good guys win in the end. Stay positive!
