Genesis chapter nine describes something called the Noahic Covenant. This covenant describes God’s unilateral promise that He would never again destroy the earth and all flesh with a worldwide flood. He stated: “I set my rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth” (Genesis 9:13). He further states: “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.” (Genesis 9:15-16) It’s hard to imagine why God needs a reminder like the rainbow to keep Himself from destroying the earth again with a flood, but I’m glad for this covenant. Except for those with faith in His Son, conditions on the earth are probably not far from those during the time of Noah. In fact, Jesus predicted this about the state of the earth just prior to His coming. (Matthew 24:37) I believe we are there.
The LBGTQABC movement currently sweeping the earth has gone beyond sexual perversion and into what the bible calls blasphemy. They have co-opted the rainbow sign as a universal symbol of their blatant homosexuality. And, it seems to have world wide acceptance. The USA, for example, defiantly flies the rainbow flag at it’s embassies around the world. This in-His-face mocking of God’s eternal covenant is truly blasphemous. Even though some of them may not be aware of it, this satanic misuse of God’s symbol is a direct invitation to horrific judgment. We should look on their use of the rainbow with disgust, as God does.
Though God promised not to destroy the earth with a flood ever again, He will destroy all evil on this planet. As the song says “fire not a flood next time”. Biblical prophecy is clear that evil mankind will be destroyed by fire at Jesus’ second coming. The appropriation by the LGBTQ community of God’s beautiful symbol will only compound their ultimate judgment. As Christians, let’s not give any place to this abomination.
