Just in from Scott Lively, who asks for widest possible distribution of
this excellent piece. This is an excellent idea. Are you listening, Vladimir?

The Rainbow Belongs to God
By Dr. Scott
Lively
A trap being laid for
February’s Russian Olympics could give homosexuals a world-wide exclusive claim
on the symbol of the rainbow.
The word “gay” once meant
“happy” and “carefree” until it was appropriated by the homosexual
movement. Now it’s a word that
defines sodomy and gender identity disorder. Intuitively, children who have never
known the true meaning of the word now use the phrase “that’s so gay” to
describe things that are wrong and undesirable. The “gays” tried to sanitize a lifestyle
of unnatural sex by giving it a new name, but instead corrupted something that
once was clean and wholesome. The
world has irreversibly lost a unique and precious gem of the English language
that still adorns the poetry and musical lyrics of a more innocent time, like
the fading photograph of a beloved child who died long ago. The word was stolen and destroyed like a
kidnapped child who never came home.
The word “homosexual” was
invented by the early homosexual movement in 1860s Germany to accomplish the
same impossible goal. In that case,
a brand new word, homosexual, was invented to replace the term “Sodomite.” “Homosexual” was intended to sanitize
the lifestyle defined by the practice of sodomy, but instead the word became so
corrupted in the public mind that the movement eventually felt compelled to
abandon it in favor of “gay.”
This brings me to the
symbol of the Rainbow. Even now the
rainbow has come to be associated with the homosexual agenda. Not yet exclusively, because there are
many besides “gays” who still use the rainbow for other purposes. However the day is fast approaching when
only those wanting to promote homosexuality will dare to use it.
Christians and Jews (and
even Moslems) should not let this happen!
The rainbow belongs to God
and was created by Him as a symbol of His authority over creation. Revelation 4:3 describes a rainbow
around His throne in heaven.
Genesis 9:13-15 declares that He placed the rainbow in the sky as a
promise to never again punish the earth by flood. Then in Genesis 19 He gave a preview of
the future destruction of the earth by fire -- by incinerating Sodom and
Gomorrah. Both Peter and Jude
remind us that the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah was a warning to all generations not to
follow the gross sexual immorality of those cities (1 Peter 2:6, Jude 1:7).
Who were the sinners of
Sodom that prophesy warns will rise
again in the end times to dominate society (Romans 1:26-32 and I Timothy
3:1-9)? They were first called
“Sodomites,” then “homosexuals,”
and now “gays.” Their
movement has adopted the rainbow flag as an act of defiance against God, and
their final attempt to sanitize their sin is to wrap themselves in His own
cloak.
This article is a call to
Christians and Jews (and Moslems -- who also revere the book of Genesis ) to
take back the rainbow from the “gays.”
I am urging pro-family leaders and advocates everywhere to start using
the rainbow again, especially in ways that clearly link the symbol to Biblical
opposition to the “gay” agenda, or which remind the world of its true
meaning. One way to do this is to
create our own rainbow flags and banners bearing the slogan “The Rainbow Belongs
to God: Genesis 6-9, 19” or a similar message.
The global homosexual
movement, in cooperation with the leftist media, is making a final gambit to
gain exclusive control of the rainbow symbol. They have set a trap for the Russian
government that they intend to spring during the Winter Olympics scheduled for
February 2014 in Russia.

Very simply, they plan to
protest Russia’s new law criminalizing homosexual propaganda to children by
encouraging individual competitors and other highly visible figures, including
celebrities, to display the rainbow symbol during the Olympic Games. The media will ensure that each such
display is broadcast to the world.
It is a no-win scenario for
the Russian government. If the
Russians ignore the tactic, the “gays” will declare victory and claim that the
Russian government was ashamed to enforce its “hateful” law while under the
scrutiny of the world. If the Russians attempt to enforce the law by punishing
those who display the rainbow, the media will portray those persons as heroic
victims and martyrs, while portraying the Russians as “homophobic” bullies
secretly intent on exterminating homosexuals. Either way, the media will segue any
rainbow related stories with coverage of violent hate crimes (real or staged)
against homosexuals that occur anywhere in Russia during the games (or any time
since the passage of the new law).
They will imply that these incidents are the result and intent of the new
law, and the “climate of hate and fear” it has engendered . Worst of all, whichever way this protest
campaign goes, the rainbow will be perceived by the world as the exclusive
property of the “gay” movement.
However, with a simple judo
move, the Russians could catch the “gays” in their own trap, and at the same
time rescue God’s rainbow from being dragged through the mud.
Imagine the Russian
Olympics taking place under a giant rainbow banner declaring that the rainbow
belongs to God! And rainbow symbols
incorporated in virtually every aspect of the games and the celebrations
surrounding them. The scheme to
display rainbows as a rebellious act by Hollywood celebrities, and left-leaning
Olympic contenders would be rendered impotent. The “gay” movement would be thwarted in
its attempt to steal for itself what belongs to God and to all of us as His
children. And, best of all, the
entire world, including the “gays,” would be reminded of the truth of the Bible:
that God gave us the rainbow as a reminder not only that He judges sin, but that
He forgives and heals those who
repent.
